Just watched The Killing Room on Showtime. Now that is one fucked up little movie.  Some dude named Larry Carroll, who has a lot of double consonants in his name and works for MTV, described it as follows:

“Cubewith better actors. Reservoir Dogs without the hipness. Lifeboat with a modern spin on war-time paranoia.”

Of those three, I've only seen Cube, but I'd say that's somewhat accurate.  Or you could compare it to when Alice is trapped in the room with the little door, or when Sarah is trapped in the oubliette, or any other "tiny room, we want out" movie.  Heck, even Monsters & Aliens has similar themes in part of it.

But yeah, it's pretty fucked up.  The biggest thing that's crazy is not that they kill people, but that it's done under the trappings of the MK-program and post-9/11 hysteria.  I guess some people will think "hey, they really could be doing this" because we've had so many opportunities to distrust the military and the government these days.  I dunno.  It was weird.

It's too bad Clea DuVall has such a short time on screen.  I'm not sure why she features so prominently on the poster – even more so than Chloe Sevigny, who has a much larger role.

I do recommend this film.
