Lesser Known Movies you must watch - 4


                                                                                EXAM

                                Adar Beck , Gemma Chan , Nathalie Cox ( In short a lot of unknown names)


The fourth movie that we want you to watch is again a mystery thriller but with an entirely different concept. It’s a very low budget movie where the entire shoot of the movie has been completed in a single room and the star cast is also not that famous. Still the mere sequence in which movie progresses from the very first scene to the climax and reasoning as to why the things happened in a specific manner is amazing.

This movie is about finding an answer of the exam in which 8 of the top candidates are selected. The catch is they have only 80 minutes to find the answer and they cannot get help from the guard in that room, or can’t go outside or can talk to the invigilator. This exam seems to be employment assessment where only one candidate will be selected by the firm (Name unknown).

As soon as the timer starts you can see the tension building up because the answer that they are suppose to provide in the sheet in front of them doesn’t have any question, its entirely blank. Now, what would you do in such situation, would you start writing based on what you think the question is , if your answer is yes, then its wrong. As soon as, one of the candidate (Chinese) starts writing on the paper, She is disqualified for spoiling the paper.

This is where the rest of the seven candidates start collaborating realizing that its permissible to talk amongst themselves as there were only three rules for this paper. Without getting to know each other names, they assign nicknames based on hair and skin color as Black, White, Brown, Blonde, Brunette, Dark and Deaf (for the candidate who doesn’t speak at all). In the next hour or so , these candidates try everything from lights to fire splinkers in attempts to reveal what is the answer if any to the unknown question.

This is where these 7 candidates come to know that the company is preparing a miracle drug to treat the virus that has affected a large amount of population i.e. it’s an alternate history. They also start knowing about each other and why have they applied for this interview. There are so many hidden secrets that you would find throughout the movie which will keep you at the edge of your seats. Two things that we can tell you which would make movie interesting is one of the candidate is suffering from the same disease and one of the candidate will try to take control of the situation by trying to disqualify each and every candidate one by one , whether he/she succeeds or not is for you to watch and enjoy. The ending like always will make you feel that the 100 Minutes were worth spent.
