Much like the movie Exam, The Killing Room focuses on a room, and the four people who are situated in said room.
The four think that they are there for some medical type research, and begin to fill in the mandatory paperwork.
But after a sinister encounter with the person overlooking the whole scheme, turns a routine day in a literal fight for life.
With every question given, one of the four will be killed off.
What to do? Join forces, or plot against each other.
The bonus thing about this film is that the four people in the from are relatively famous, so it's really hard to fathom out who will succeed, and who will perish, which usurps most movies like this, because its usually pretty easy to tell the chronology of who will go first.
Other than that, it's pretty formulaic stuff. The group join forces, then one gets paranoid about the others, and one stays pretty quiet until the end.
Timothy Hutton is the 'leader' of the group, and that's because he's been in more films than any other person in the room.
Storm are puts in his obligatory bad guy schtick amiably, and Chloe Sevigny does perplexed and concerned pretty good throughout.
Kudos to the very final reel though, it's pretty leftfield, and makes the whole film just that little more impressive.
Not brilliant, but pretty good stuff.
