Inspired by real events that took place in a Kentucky McDonalds, as well as the infamous Milgram experiments, Craig Zobel’s Compliance looks to be a tightly contained thriller with a terrifying link to reality.
Dreama Walker stars as a fast food restaurant counter girl accused of theft by her manager (Ann Dowd). The manager is getting her information from a prank caller posing as a police officer (Pat Healy), and is instructed to commit increasingly invasive and abusive acts against the young girl.
The picture debuted at Sundance earlier in the year, where it was met with rave reviews (and a fair share of walkouts).
Needless to say, with those aforementioned sources of inspiration, and the passionate responses it has garnered on the festival circuit, we’re intrigued.
It does not yet have an Australian release date.
