MK-ULTRA - The Killing Room review by CP Customer
The Killing Room is a provocative film that takes its basis from an infamous covert CIA program known as Project MK-ULTRA. Allegedly the unit was shut down in the 1960’s before the President could investigate, and all documentation destroyed. Some agents claim the experiments continued, and here the Killing Room uses the theory in combination with world events. It’s an intriguing low budget American release that keeps you engaged and guessing until the very end, thankfully avoiding gruesome dispatches. The small cast and set pieces work especially well, with the ending coming as a knockout blow. My only criticism would be the lack of extras on this disc for those that want to go further.
