The Belko Experiment is dumb and not fun. It's just bad filmmaking, and only people who are easily entertained by gore and bad shots and workplace violence will like this movie. It's not thought provoking, it's kitschy. This is the movieThe Belko Experiment is dumb and not fun.

Just a ton of uncomfortable torture and gore. As a person who enjoys horror and thrillers I was disgusted by the movie.

As a person who enjoys horror and thrillers I was disgusted by the movie. I give it points for creativity but at the end of the day it lacked true character development and I hated the ending just not enough answers. I'm sure a squeal is coming I just hope the characters have more of a chance then the ones in this debut film.… Expand

Who the hell would allow an employer put a chip in their brain to get a job? Apparently 80 stupid Americans! Ridiculous concept = boring movie

Well... as it turns out, The Belko Experiment isn't quite as abysmal as I had previously thought. Does that make it an oustanding film? No... not by any means. It is actually far from that.

No... not by any means. It is actually far from that. The idea, in general, is hugely flawed, and while the gore can be quite stylish (particularly in the 30-60 kill range), that can't make up for the lackluster plot, subpar performances, and the countless plot holes. Pros: Like I had mentioned before, the violence can be stylish... not much of it is... but it had potential. Cons: The beggining point of the film is painfully slow, and meaningless, showing the characters in the most plastic, inhuman attempts at acting realisticly. While the enjoyment picks up, after some time, the beggining of this film was clumsily created, and honestly, sort of ruins the experience of some of the later parts.

The plot seems scattered... like, the had no idea what to do with the film, and so they just killed random people for no reason at no specific time... because... they wanted to fill up the run time with gore? While there were a few organized scenes and ideas, the rest of the film is either pathetic attempts at character drvelopments, or groggy, boring, and scattered kills.

The character were so flimsy and forgettable, that you will likely brush them off about 2 minutes after the credits end. This film was marketed as some sort of... political commentary maybe? You can tell that it's what it wanted/tried to be. It tried to be an intelligent, thought provoking idea with a moral, but the film, really, is just a slasher in a building. It's kind of like the later purge films, such as Election Year, but more clumsily made. Well, In conclusion, this movie is nothing special, despite what it tries to be, it's just another mindless slasher with a messy plot.… Expand

If you want something mindless to watch then sure, give it a go, but that's really all the movie is. It's just a mindless, gory horror movie that attempts to be deeper than what it really is. After the first 30 minutes, You'll just grow bored of it and want to move on to something else.… Expand

Gore, gallons of fake blood, some credibility issues ... I expected something else.

In Bogota, Colombia, is the headquarters of Belko Industries, surrounded by strong security measures and giving its employees above-average working conditions. Working there seems to be very good for most office workers, as the company promotes competitiveness, individual growth and good salaries. It turns out that in the midst of a normal working day, and after all local workers are evacuated, eighty US employees are arrested on the premises and are invited, by a voice over the office sound system, to massacre themselves or to be mercilessly killed in a distorted social experience.

Well, this kind of movie is not quite my thing and I confess I was expecting something different. The massive bet on gore and a bloodbath works for those who like it, but for those who prefer more action, more suspense and psychological horror, the movie won't work so well. It is not a movie for all audiences. And then there are some credibility issues that totally fail: As a company employee, I would never allow anything to be implanted in my body, so that bomb-firing at employees is unreasonable and sounds unbelievable. The rest is just blood. The script does not exist, being only a premise to prepare and conclude the carnage. The same goes for the cast. They are pigs for the slaughter, we don't even care about them. There are some well-known actors in this movie, like John Gallagher Jr., but I don't think they have received decent material to work with. The problem here is bad script and conscious betting on gore and gallons of fake blood.… Expand

An absolutely dreadful film with bad writing and stupid characters that could've easily won the kill or be killed game near the beginning of the movie, while offering nothing enjoyable to those who can look past that.
