Elliott Gast is quickly climbing the corporate ladder of international commerce, negotiating deals to generate large fortunes for giant corporations. His success makes him the target for political extremists who kidnap him and broadcast his imprisonment and mutilation over the internet as macabre reality show and fundraiser.

Why it matters

A brutal descent into corporate horror where flesh and commerce collide in a grim spectacle of digital torture and political terror.

  • Early exploration of internet-fueled voyeurism and viral cruelty, ahead of its time in anticipating social media’s dark potential.
  • Grimy, unflinching body horror that recalls Cronenberg’s merciless dissection of flesh and power.
  • For fans of brutal, no-frills torture horror with a political edge—this isn’t subtle, but it’s relentlessly visceral.
  • Off-the-grid indie production that leans into practical gore effects, delivering a raw, unsettling atmosphere over polish.
