No trailer yet but liking the sound of the plot synopsis, and it's got Aaron Paul & Karen Gillan in leading roles. That's enough to get me to watch it.

Synopsis sounds like a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror special.

Just got finished watching this one and I got to say Karen Gillan was absolutely sensational in it. Might be one of her best performances yet that I've seen. The film itself very much felt like an extended Black Mirror episode and I really enjoyed that aspect about it. I really liked Aaron Paul as the trainer character as well and they both had really good chemistry together. I would enjoy them being in more movies together. A lot of twists and turns in this one that kept me engaged. Quite the hard watch in parts too, I wasn't expecting the storyline to be so heavy and depressing at times. There's a lot of cold characters too that will no doubt frustrate you watching it. In a good way, it's very well acted. Interesting film that will have me thinking about it for a bit I'm sure.
