Synopsis:

"267" (2026) is a psychological thriller with a runtime of 1 hour 59 minutes, released on January 25, 2026. Directed by Jesse Frank, the story revolves around a man who wakes up in a closed room with no clear memory of how he got there. The only clue is the number 267, which keeps appearing on digital screens, walls, and voice recordings.

The film tells the story of a brother and sister who reunite after years apart and uncover a dark secret about one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The film has a cold and haunting atmosphere, with psychological tension building up as the story unfolds, particularly with the revelation of patient number 267. 

The man starts to realize that the number is not just a decoration, but a symbol of limits, a countdown, and a mental pressure that slowly destroys sanity. The film rejects black-and-white answers, opting for ambiguity that forces reflection. The visuals rely on narrow spaces, symmetrical composition, and monotonous mechanical sounds.

This film stars: Rachel Petsiavas, Franny Titus, Michael James Sewell Jr., Wade Hammond and more.

In my opinion:

Hmm... How to put it? Looking at the poster, I was already skeptical. The title "267" and the poster suggest a psychological thriller, but I've been fooled by posters before. Sometimes a simple poster hides a great film, but this time I'm afraid it's a bit of a mess. The theme of science involving the brain and memory feels heavy. Unless you're someone who really likes thinking deeply, it might be tough. The film seems to want to appear sophisticated with a clever idea, but ultimately falls short.

The cinematography and visuals are decent, though the audio is average. What's confusing is the characters – too many of them. As with every segment, new characters always appear, its like every each of them wanting to be the main focus. It weakens the story, and some details feel off, making it weird and a bit funny, you know? I think it needs more depth and refinement to lift a sci-fi story like this, especially when combining it with tension and mystery.

For me this one is 5/10.
