The Killing Room DVD
Four walls, four strangers and no escape, welcome to The Killing Room, released on DVD 17 August 2009 by Momentum Pictures. In need of some ready cash, four unwitting volunteers sign up to what they believe is a paid marketing study, only to realise that they are being used as subjects in a deadly, classified psychological government program.
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman(The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) and based on true events, The Killing Room is a terrifying journey into the claustrophobic world of banned psychological practices.
Screen icon Chloe Sevigny (Boys Don’t Cry, American Psycho, Big Love) stars alongside Peter Stormare (Fargo, Constantine), Academy-Award winner Timothy Hutton (The Good Shepherd, Beautiful Girls), Shea Whigham (Fast and Furious), Nick Cannon (Wild ‘n’ Out, Goal 2) and Clea DuVall (Heroes, The Grudge).
In 1975 the Rockefeller Commission ordered for the classified MK-Ultra project to be brought down, as an investigation commenced, no evidence was found proving the existence of the unit. 34 years later the program is still running.
When fiercely ambitious Emily Riley (Sevigny), a naïve military body language expert, is offered the job of a lifetime she accepts the challenge.
Brought into the fold of sinister Dr Phillips (Stormare), she is tested on her clinical and physiological observation skills, unaware of the Dr’s MK-Ultra affiliation.
What starts as an exercise ends in a boiler room pressure nightmare. Shot in the frightening enclosure of a stark clinical medical unit, the tension in this terrifying psychological horror rises as Riley witnesses four lives under the microscope, all at the mercy of Phillips’ twisted design.
The Killing Room is released 17th August.
