Jonathan Liebesman’s latest film before BATTLE: LOS ANGELES takes off got through a bit of a rough journey, first getting mixed reviews at Sundance then pretty much falling off radar with little hope of distribution. The long-overdue trailer however found its way on our lap, attached with a Region-1 DVD release of October 13th.
Boasting a not-stellar-yet-impressive cast including Timothy Hutton, Chloë Sevigny, Nick Cannon-Carey and the criminally underused Peter Stormare, THE KILLING ROOM follows a group of strangers who sign up for a psychological study to make a quick buck but find themselves in the middle of something much bigger and darker.
Can’t say I’ve had the privilege to screen the film, but word of mouth I gathered compares it to SAW or CUBE without the respective torture and sci-fi elements. Lets make our own predetermined mind with the trailer, shall we?
