When an alarm is tripped mid-mission and the animal liberators make a hasty retreat, they are alarmed to find that one of the activists was left behind in the chaos. In the days that follow, the remaining members of the group all receive a mysterious e-mail with the subject header "Lethal Dose" and a map of a vivisection lab. Gathering together to break into the abandoned lab and solve the mystery of the elliptical e-mails, the group members soon find themselves the subjects of a complex and deadly experiment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
It could have worked with a bit more of a creative story and some much snappier dialogue. As it stands, it's just another bottom-feeder in an ocean of genre mediocrity.

In an attempt to familiarize myself with the works of one of my "new" favorite actors (Tom Hardy) I watched this film hoping for the best to spite the presence of Melanie (scary Spice) Brown. This is a very intresting premise, that is poorly developed and horribly written. Though the cast does a pretty good job of making it work...at least as much as possible. Tom Hardy is great and even Mel B wasn't half bad. But it was the performance of Katharine Towne that stood out for me. While I wouldn't go out of my way to see it...I wouldn't avoid it if you are a fan of Sci-Fi / Horror or of any of the actors involved.
