Our hombres over at the spanish site AULLIDOS have gotten their hands on an exclusive clip for the upcoming thriller PAINTBALL, which we’ve been hearing about in drips and drabs the last couple months. We’ve embedded the clip below for your viewing pleasure – and it’s worth a look, even if it’s not anything too outrageous. There’s at least one “ohhh that’s gotta hurt!” moment that I certainly like…
Eight strangers convene in an undisclosed location for an intense, experts-only paintball retreat. Out of the gate, the game seems to be exactly what they paid for: all-out action in a remotely set battle of wits and wiles. As the game advances and the stakes get higher, however, it becomes clear that the group is playing a very different game than they signed up for. With rules that change as soon as they are mastered, the team sport quickly devolves into an anything-goes struggle for individual survival, and the participants gradually realize that their real opponent may be the game itself.
Directed by newcomer Daniel Benmayor, PAINTBALL stars Jennifer Matter, Patrick Regis, Brendan Mackey, Iaione Perez, Neil Maskell, Anna Casas, Peter Vives Newey, and Claudia Bassols (pictured below the clip). It opens on July 10th in Spain.
