Canadian Blood


BLOODWORX-2012-Two college dorks volunteer for an experimental drug test (RXZ-19) to make some money. It's obvious from the other “patients” lead by obnoxious English guy Nigel that things aren't what they seem. After “dose one” they start to hallucinate and act weird. One guy has sex with a woman while cockroaches crawl on them. The doctor who heads the project explains that in actuality the experiments involve organ regeneration and he has a roomful of deranged animals to prove it! Everyone gets loonier and loonier as the doses increase. The experiment descends into madness with most of the patients becoming cannibal killers craving the drug. The real head of the project (Eric Roberts) shows up trying to cover the whole thing up. One guy escapes but goes back for his friend and the whole place blows up. The two friends escape but don't get away. 

This Canadian-American co-production is also known as BLOODWORK or THE LAST EXPERIMENT. Director Eric Wostenberg was a producer of the TV show “Ax Men”.

Thanks for reading!
