Paul Raschid’s latest sci-fi thriller comes by way of an interactive FM (full-motion) video game released back in March. Newly arriving in feature fashion is The Complex: Lockdown, directed from a script by Lynn Renee Maxcy (The Handmaid’s Tale), which reportedly combines the most gripping scenarios from the game into one mind-bending narrative film.

The Complex: Lockdown stars Michelle Mylett (Letterkenny, Bad Blood), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones, The Witch) and Al Weaver (Colette, Peterloo), and will release on Digital/HD beginning October 13 from Giant Pictures.
