2003 · 97 min

A grimy, claustrophobic descent into guilt and paranoia, where good intentions curdle into a trap.

Directed by: Simon De Selva
Genres: Horror
Starring: Katharine Towne, Mel B, Tom Hardy

Overview: Re-formed by a coded message to their web site, a group of animal rights activists set off to free an imprisoned colleague from a terrifying ordeal. Their rescue mission leads them to a disused lab, but what should have been a simple raid turns into a series of twisted and mind bending incidents where the free and the caged switch places, in this tormented psychological horror.
