Claymation trailer for the Belko Experiment doesn’t skimp on the red clay

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

I've reported a lot on THE BELKO EXPERIMENT, the film about office drones stuck in their building and told they have to kill their co-workers or more people will die. For one, I love the concept – it's just so primal, and it immediately brings to mind thoughts of "what would I do in that situation"? (In my case, probably try to hide and get killed unceremoniously). But also, since it's being written by James Gunn, you know it'll have a dark, sardonic wit, and probably smarter than it has any right to be (I'm still repping his underappreciated THE SPECIALS).

Anyway, here's a new trailer for the film, from ABC'S OF DEATH's Lee Hardcastle (I can't decide if his surname sounds more like a pornstar or an 80s action hero) that uses claymation to sell the film. Let's take a look:

As someone who has fond memories of CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH, I definitely approve of claymation blood-and-gore. And it shows that the film will indeed have a sick sense of humor, which is one of its main selling points. I mean, being stuck with co-workers you hate and having to battle them to the death is f*cked up, but it doesn't mean it can't also be fun.

Anyway, THE BELKO EXPERIMENT will premiere in theaters March 17th, 2017.
