The first paragraph of the below synopsis for The Call Up is all you need to know. You can work out the rest without even reading any more.
On the other hand, it is a good idea for a film and, by the looks of the trailer, well implemented.
When a group of elite online gamers each receive a mysterious invitation to trial a state-of-the-art virtual reality video game, it’s a dream come true and impossible to resist.
Arriving at the test site, the group step into hi-tech gear and prepare for a revolutionary, next-level gaming experience that brings modern warfare to life with frightening realism.
At first it’s a unique and exhilarating experience. But what starts out like a dream encounter with cutting edge technology quickly takes a turn for the sinister.
Shooting into UK cinemas May 20 & DVD/Digital 23 May 23, 2016
