Looking for another round of Kinji Fukasaku’s Battle Royale? If so, look no further (kinda, sorta). Director Alastair Orr (House on Willow Street) has teamed up with writer David D. Jones (The Stem) for Trigger, which releases on November 6 from Samuel Goldwyn Films.
Nine friends, all harboring a dark secret, go camping in the woods. After a wild night of partying, they wake up with suicide bombs strapped to their chests, all with varying times on their countdown clocks. They decide to work out how to disarm the bombs or find help – until they discover they can ‘take’ one another’s time by killing each other.
Triggered stars Sean Cameron Michael (The Last Days of American Crime), Liesl Ahlers (Friend Request), Reine Swart (Z Nation) and Suraya Rose Santos (Broken Darkness).
Let the games begin with the film’s Trailer below:
That looks like “handheld” done wrong.
