In a shocking act of domestic terrorism, a deranged veteran detonates a biological weapon inside a crowded Federal Building. His purpose: To expose the government's secret development of a toxic gas that instantly affects the human adrenal system, causing men, women and children to become inhumanly aggressive and violent. Now the virus is spreading. The building is quarantined. And on the upper floors, a small group of uninfected survivors must band together to get out alive. But how do you escape a raging nightmare that cannot be stopped? Jason London (Dazed and Confused), C. Thomas Howell (The Outsiders), Alicia Leigh Willis (The L Word), Lochlyn Munro (Charmed), Alexander Mendeluk (The Twilight Saga: New Moon), Robert Carradine and Judd Nelson star in this explosive horror/action thriller where fear is the trigger when madmen unleash THE TERROR EXPERIMENT.

3.0 out of 5 stars Low budget horror conspiracy 27 April 2012
By PJ Rankine TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This is a low budget movie that looks like it was made for tv in the eighties. A more accurate score would be two and a half stars, I'm forced to be generous.
A domestic terrorist releases a nerve agent in a federal building in order to expose the fact that they have a lab hidden in there making the stuff. The effects arte very much like 'rage' if you've seen '28 days later' and contrary to the false impression given on the cover only one gets out.
There are no zombies because when they die they stay dead. The few survivors make it to the upper floors because this stuff is heavier than air and then they have to figure out how to get out before the building comes down around them. Being a good old American conspiracy the building is of course wired up by the government to explode six hours after the power is cut.
I recognised a few names from the cast list but there are no performances you'll ever remember and I can't believe they're releasing this on blu ray too, high definition B movie anyone?

4.0 out of 5 stars Not all that bad, all considered 26 April 2012
By Jason Brown - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I've decided to not attack all the prior reviews, those are their opinions, therefore, here's mine.
From the synopsis, I could tell it'd be yet another independent zombie flick in the veins of 28 Days/Weeks Later (albeit in a confined space), so I knew not to expect perfection. Still, for what I watched, it really wasn't that bad.
Story was simple, a terrorist with an extremist patriot complex believes he sees political hypocrisy in his own nation and wishes to see something like a "reset" (as I'd call it) by exposing deadly secrets in a government building. Those secrets being a deadly virus that changes the mindset of a person, making them highly paranoid and overtly aggressive. Yes, it's basically a total rip-off of 28D/WL, but it didn't stop me from enjoying. In fact, before all the action really starts, you get to see all the little things in normal lives, including that of a divorced couple (along with a small touch of humor before total insanity breaks loose), play out.
There weren't that many jump moments, but what there was was pretty decent since it went very well with the story. Some pretty crazy death scenes, a few twists here and there, and one particular crazed zombie that seems like a dimwit rip-off of a zombie from Land of the Dead (remember the one that figured out how to use a machine gun? Watch this and you'll see which one's the rip-off).
Acting, like that of any low-budget indie, isn't perfect by any standard, but it's still better than some I've seen (2012: Doomsday always comes to mind as the worst indie film I've ever seen in ever single aspect), so there's a plus. Some people, sadly, do die off (in which I mean I wish they hadn't, but that wouldn't be good for the death quota in making a film like this, would it?), but nonetheless, the main character, who's been in search of one particular person in a quarantined building, does have reason, in the end, to hope. And the reason for that hope may end up giving bad nostalgia for those in Oklahoma City, 'nuff said.
All in all, especially for an obviously low-budgeted indie zombie film, I pretty well enjoyed this. Nowhere near perfect, but I could at least handle it for what it was worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kiosk Rating <1 12 April 2012
By G. Teslovich - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
The storyline is about a terrorist (patriot from his point of view) who wants to make a statement by releasing the toxin that a research lab is working on thus turning it's effects upon the people associated with it. The toxin makes people a bit more aggressive than usual resulting in a lot of angry trapped workers killing one another. Some escape to the top floors and await rescue but of course the government has other plans - just blow up the building. Usual allusions to Area 51 and psychotropic drugs and, of course, only a few unaffected survive.

What are you paying for in watching this movie? The usual shaky hand held camera; dumb dialogue from Hollywood script writers that try to sound like someone that they have no clue about; a setting of a few hallways, rooms and stairwells all in one building; annoying sound effects (humans growling in this case); cheap props like guns that sound like toys with really cheap CGI gunfire flashes added in post editing; a noncreative copying of a storyline that's been done so often you might as well watch just the first and last minutes and be assured you missed nothing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Terror Experiment... 5 May 2012
By Kurbiyashi - Published on Amazon.com
This is a bit cheesy. I guess they didn't have much for a budget maybe? It's like a bunch of bad movies combined together. anyways you could say its a rip off 28 days/weeks, a bit like quarantine without the camera sickness, and maybe some others that I can't think of. I'd recommend you skip it unless your that bored and curious.
