It’s a shame we’ve never heard about Alistair Orr’s low-budget medical chiller RANCID, as we could have all benefitted from having this sucker in our lives before now. Alas, we have all the goodies for the film we need at this point: a synopsis, poster and teaser trailer…all of which, especially the last, I strongly urge you to look at. Be warned, this bitch gets bloody!

Co-written with Orr by Jonathan Jordan, in RANCID:

Everyone has an Expiration Date.

Four applicants, with their own hidden agendas, are accepted by a mysterious corporation to participate in a medical experiment at an isolated testing facility.

With no instructions and no supplies, the human lab rats must fend for themselves and figure out what part of the experiment each one is playing. When the corporation becomes aware that a pregnant intruder has infiltrated the facility, they send in armored guards to clean up the mess. However, loyalties are tested when the guards learn the truth about the experiments and begin to turn on the corporation. Hidden truths about the different players and why they all signed up for the tests are revealed as their situation becomes increasingly dire.

With Michael Thompson, Brandan Auret (District 9 / Catch a Fire / Hansie), Craig Hawks (Leonardo), Ingeborg Riedmaier, Ryan Macquet (One Way) and Christien Le Roux (Black Tower Temptation) all playing a part – RANCID premieres on DVD January 1st.
