Passage Pictures has dropped a new trailer for Corporate Retreat, a darkly comedic survival horror film that transforms a luxury corporate getaway into a full-on fight for survival—and yes, it looks as unhinged as it sounds.
Directed by Aaron Fisher (Inside the Rain), who co-wrote the script with Kerri Lee Romeo, the film follows a group of ambitious young tech executives who arrive at a remote desert estate for what’s supposed to be a high-end team-building retreat. Instead, the experience quickly spirals into chaos when the retreat’s leadership turns violently hostile, forcing the group into a deadly scenario where office politics take a back seat to pure survival.
At the center of the escalating nightmare is Alan Ruck, playing a corporate leader whose breakdown sets everything in motion. The ensemble cast also includes Ashton Sanders, Sasha Lane, Odeya Rush, Rosanna Arquette, Zion Moreno, Tyler Alvarez, and Benjamin Norris, all navigating a retreat that quickly becomes a violent game of survival.
Early reactions are already positioning the film somewhere between The Menu and Saw, with a sharper satirical edge aimed at corporate culture. The trailer leans heavily into blood-soaked chaos, practical effects, and escalating paranoia as alliances fracture and trust disappears.
According to the official synopsis, “Climbing the corporate ladder is not for the weak. Do you have what it takes to win?”—a question the film answers with increasingly brutal consequences as the retreat devolves into a controlled (and very messy) collapse.
The film premiered at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival earlier this year, where it started generating buzz for its mix of horror, satire, and over-the-top violence. It is produced by Uri Singer and features practical effects by veteran makeup artist Gary J. Tunnicliffe, adding to its gritty, visceral style.
Corporate Retreat is set for a U.S. theatrical release on May 22, 2026.
