Thoughts;
This was the first movie I've been able to watch in quite some time. I saw this on a Top 10 under rated movies on YouTube and since we had some time, my daughter and I decided to watch it.



It's not a scary movie that will make you jump out of your seat, but it is pretty crazy. Personally I wouldn't work in a place that made me get a chip planted in my head, that's a big no for me.



The day with these people seems to start off odd, only certain employees are let into the building, soon after a voice comes on telling them how many people are in the building and how many people they need to kill. It's not at all taken seriously until people's heads start to explode.



When it's realized that the voice is serious, people start fighting and dying quickly. Mixed in with everything is a love story, a bromance, the token black security guard and the token company stoners. In the end, only one of them walks out and ends up killing the guards and the person behind the voice. The movie cuts out to a screen with tons of images on it, and you hear that phase one is concluded. I would hope they wouldn't make any more, but you never know now.
