Guardians of the Galaxy director
James Gunn has returned to his horror roots in
The Belko Experiment. The film, which Gunn wrote and produced, centers on a large group of office workers who are going about an ordinary work day, when a mysterious voice suddenly commands them to start killing each other, or they will be killed themselves. A bloody and violent massacre ensues.
The film stars some of Gunn's frequent collaborators, including Michael Rooker and brother Sean Gunn, along with John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, John C. McGinley, Melonie Diaz, and David Dastmalchian. Check the trailer out below!

It at first seems to be an ordinary morning on the job for a group of Americans working for a not-for-profit in a modern office building in Colombia. After noticing that their Colombian colleagues have not arrived for work, office worker Mike (John Gallagher, Jr.) spots some unfamiliar security guards entering a large hangar nearby. Moments later, an icy voice comes over the building’s PA system and calmly explains that the employees must kill a certain number of their co-workers — if not, they will be killed themselves. While the boss (Tony Goldwyn) tries to calm the troops, Mike belatedly realizes that something truly sinister is going on — and when metal doors come sliding down on all the building’s exits and windows, it becomes clear that friends and colleagues are now suddenly enemies in a bloody and brutal battle to the death.
