Blumhouse Tilt has released a new clip from their highly-anticipated thrillerThe Belko Experiment, which shows Belko Industries boss Barry Norris (Tony Goldwyn) making a big decision and laying down the law for his Belko employees. Instead of waiting for their mysterious captors to kill off 60 employees, Barry has apparently decided to take the other choice, which involves the employees themselves killing off 30 people. Barry reveals at the end of the clip that they need “order,” but it’s clear that his co-workers aren’t too thrilled with this plan.
Blumhouse Tiltreleased this clip on YouTube earlier today, which also reveals that they only have 20 minutes to kill off 30 people, or else 60 people will be killed by those who are watching them. It was teased in previous trailers that each employee has an implant, and with just the flick of a switch, a life can be taken in an instant. It hasn’t been revealed why hese seemingly innocentoffice workersare being subjected to this horrifying experience, but we’ll find out in less than a month when this thriller hits theaters.
Written by the acclaimed writer/directorJames Gunn(Guardians of the Galaxy,Slither) and directed byGreg McLean(creator of theWolf Creekfranchise),The Belko Experimentis a terrifying, provocative and at times hilarious thrill-ride that literally provokes the question; what does it take to survive at work?

McGinley(Stan Against Evil,Scrubs),Adria Arjona(True Detective),Josh Brener(Silicon Valley) andMichael Rooker(Guardians of the Galaxy).
