Seventy-Nine

In an abandoned mental institution, doctors carry out secret experiments on unsuspecting patients. The experiments, codenamed Limes, are designed to cure violent episodes within the inmates through new methods of brainwashing and mind manipulation. It is soon discovered by the families of the patients that this is no ordinary hospital.

Directed by Filip Maciejewicz, Seventy-Nine leans on a strong ensemble — Jonathan Rosenthal, Adrian Voo, Patrick Edward Wynne — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2013.
