Short description
Seven employees of an international weapons manufacturer are treated to a team-building weekend at the company’s newly built luxury spa lodge. Things quickly go awry as the colleagues find their corporate weekend sabotaged by a deadly enemy.
What's left behind the scenes
- The bus driver was played by stuntman Shándor Boros, who is of Hungarian nationality. According to director and screenwriter Christopher Smith, Hungarian stuntmen were much less concerned about the safety of the film crew than their British counterparts. Boros was instructed to maintain a speed of 55 km/h, but he decided that wouldn't be enough and accelerated to 80 km/h, resulting in the script having to be rewritten and the actors' injuries being adjusted to match the high-speed crash, making them more severe. During the stunt, Boros himself lost consciousness from the impact.
- Laura Harris (who played Maggie) listened to depressing music before filming specifically so she wouldn't appear in front of the camera in too good a mood, which she was constantly in.
- The pool full of fallen leaves into which Andy Nyman's character fell was actually a fountain only a few centimeters deep.
- Preparing for filming, Danny Dyer, the actor playing Steve, worked out at the gym for 10 weeks.
- Casting lasted for 4 months.
- The CRM-114 anti-personnel mine is a reference to the CRM-114 radio receiver from Stanley Kubrick's science fiction comedy "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (1963).
- In the scene where the character played by Andy Nyman steps into a bear trap, a stunt double with an amputated leg was used.
