It's a warped version of the Milgram and Stanford Prisoner experiments, which have been turned into similarly gruesome films supposedly showing incivility of "human nature" in following orders. I've previously shown how Hollywood gets these studies wronghttps://othersociologist.com/2014/05/11/milgram-experiment/ …
Actually, The Belko Experiment ends up illustrating the violence of White masculinity. The workers who immedietely go on a rampage are all White men who say they only want to stay alive because their families couldn't live without them.
One of them is a sexual harasser to boot.pic.twitter.com/jyh4de3SmK
I'm going to wreck the ending because the reveal is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen said about #SocialScience data collection.
Soc sci as a broad field is rarely commented on in films, though some will depict the occassional psychologist (badly). This was another levelpic.twitter.com/VCDzcqUwH5
The sole survivor, a White American man (in Panama, no less), is dragged to see The Big Bad, another White man, who has been dictating the events. Turns out the company they all work for, Belko, hire people for the sole purpose of subjecting them to the Experiment. #BadSciFilmpic.twitter.com/HcR1sXpe0e
The Big Bad's monologue is worth quoting in full: "We're part of an international organisation... Some of the greatest thinkers in the world who believe social scientists must be allowed to study human behaviour unfettered by conventional concepts."

"And believe me, we've learned an incredible amount about the human mind and behaviour since we started these experiments..."
#SOCIALSCIENCE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR CENTURIES BUT PLEASE GO ON...
"Science is method. 
We're simply gathering data.

Then the Bad White Man working for International Organisation of The Greatest Minds Working for the Advacement of #SocialScience Through Hyper Violent and Expensive Shell Corporation Set Up in Panana begins to gather "data" with the worst quantitative survey ever... #BadSciFilmpic.twitter.com/8zf5hz6mSf
"Which emotion most accurately describes how you feel in this moment? A: sad. B: relieved. [Note everyone he knows is dead.] C: confused. D..."
We'll never know what "D" was because terrible survey was interrupted. Was it "D: bewildered by your definition of data?" #BadSciFilmpic.twitter.com/Kj76Ca0Cv2
At the end of the film we see that - gasp! - there are Belko experiments being run all over the world simultaneously.
Billions of dollars being spend on salaries to hire workers to be later killed in high security buildings... all for... social science. For "data." #BadSciFilmpic.twitter.com/FRZuke0Div
I will dutifully suspend my disbelief for many silly horror movies - but when this involves accepting that there is a multinational corporation sponsoring billions of dollars on "social science," and a crap experiment at that, I must draw the line.
Datafully yours,
