Gag
Dying is Easy...Staying Alive is Torture
Directed by Scott W. McKinlay
Produced by Detroit Riot Productions
A brutal, high-tension survival horror film centered on a sadistic serial killer and the thieves who stumble into his nightmare, driven by graphic violence and escalating dread.
A simple burglary spirals violently out of control when two professional thieves break into a Hollywood Hills mansion in search of riches and instead find a man who has been bound, gagged and imprisoned in the massive estate. Upon making their grim discovery the morally conflicted pair makes a series of poor decisions that leads to a bloody battle for survival against a killer with no conscience and no remorse!
