THE BELKO EXPERIMENT<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Greg McLean<\/strong>
\nWritten by: James Gunn<\/strong>
\nCast: John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, John C. McGinley, Josh Brener, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Melonie Diaz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes a horror movie<\/a> can serve as allegory to evoke an examination of some aspects of human behavior.\u00a0 \u201cFrankenstein,\u201d for example, is how a being who does not look like most of us fellows can be bullied and tormented to the point that he becomes enraged and dangerous.\u00a0 \u201cPhantom of the Opera\u201d is about sheer loneliness, about a man who through no fault of his own is disfigured and tormented by an unrequited love that compels him to kidnap a woman.\u00a0 \u201cThe Belko Experiment\u201d looks like a sendup of social scientists who revel in exploring every aspect of human behavior in groups, but who in the audience is worrying about that?\u00a0 Horror fans<\/a> want gore, blood, the more the better, and outside of full-scale war between countries, directors and screenwriters pile on the bodies as though working toward a record.\u00a0 How about 79?\u00a0 Is that the most bodies you hope to see in a horror movie?\u00a0 If so, you\u2019ll treasure Greg McLean\u2019s well edited look at a factory outside Bogot\u00e1, Colombia, where the Belko corporation looks over an unhappy landscape as a company whose motto is \u201cWe bring people together.\u201d\u00a0 The bludgeons and shootings and knifings and butchering among eighty Americans who work for a corporation whose aim is to facilitate the employment of American workers abroad is ironic enough, but again, how many in the audience are looking for metaphors?<\/p>\n

Greg McLean\u2019s \u201cWolf Creek<\/a>,\u201d \u201cRogue,\u201d and the \u201cDarkness\u201d put him firmly in the horror camp\u2014dealing with an Australian psychopath who tortures backpackers, a crocodile that confronts a journalist and a family that returns from the Grand Canyon fighting for survival, respectively.\u00a0 In \u201cThe Belko Experiment\u201d eighty Americans start the day in the Colombia-located corporate headquarters joking around, flirting, and telling people where to get off.\u00a0 Suddenly the loudspeakers are humming with a disembodied voice that challenges all to kill.\u00a0 After two people are killed via a small bomb that each has implanted in the back of the head (they thought it was for identification), the voice announces the ultimate game.\u00a0 If the employees do not kill thirty of their co-workers, the psycho will kill sixty.\u00a0 To make sure nobody escapes, metal shutters automatically close all windows. There is no way out.\u00a0 How do you think these friendly Americans will react?\u00a0 Do we really need to put these people to a test whose results are known in advance?<\/p>\n

Witty dialogue is at a premium; multiple murders<\/a> are the order of the day.\u00a0 And if thirty workers are killed, there is an additional hurdle.\u00a0 It\u2019s a dog-eat-dog world. Some performers stand out in what is for the most part a claustrophobic experience, save for an opening scene in the Bogot\u00e1 outdoor market.\u00a0 Second-in-command Wendell (John C. McGinley) is an expected killer since he stares at one of the attractive women compulsively to her disgust.\u00a0 The company boss, Barry (Tony Goldwyn) does his best to calm the crowd but when push comes to shove, he can be counted on to perform for the anonymous person who serves as his alpha male.\u00a0 The security guard overlooks the scene helplessly, though he is initially blamed, and we in the audience root for nice guy Mike (John Gallagher Jr.) who conducts an office romance with Leandra (Adria Arjona).<\/p>\n

You may expect the final scene to bring everything together, the hostile wizard of Bogot\u00e1 unmasked, revealing the point of all.\u00a0 But you may be disappointed to find out that the experiment is not what we think it\u2019s cracked up to be rather than a look at office politics gone murderous without much point.<\/p>\n

Rated R.\u00a0 82 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong>
