The Employer

Five qualified professionals compete for a prestigious position at the Carcharias Corporation, a powerful conglomerate known for its secretive business operations. Just before the final round of interviews, the candidates are kidnapped, drugged, and locked in a room together. A phone call from the company's mysterious CEO, referred to as The Employer, reveals that they have entered the final stage of the hiring process, though the nature of this test is far different from a standard job interview.

This thriller was written and directed by Frank Merle, marking the start of his directorial career before he released Terror Tales: Poetry & Death Volume 1 in 2025. The film features Malcolm McDowell as The Employer, alongside a cast including David Dastmalchian, Paige Howard, Michael DeLorenzo, Matthew Willig, and Katerina Mikailenko. Produced by Hyrax Entertainment in the United States, the movie has a runtime of 85 minutes.

Audience reception has been consistently low across different platforms. The film holds a rating of 4.3/10 on IMDb based on 1,500 votes and an identical rating of 4.3/10 on TMDB from 43 votes.
