After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace (Logan Marshall Green, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, PROMETHEUS) is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure that will "upgrade" his body. The cure - an Artificial Intelligence implant called STEM - gives Grey physical abilities beyond anything experienced and the ability to relentlessly claim vengeance against those who murdered his wife and left him for dead.

"Writer/director Leigh Whannell gives us a glimpse of the near-future and it's both fascinating and terrifying." (Toronto Star)

"Leigh Whannell's hi-fi, lowbrow gem from the House of Blum is exactly the sort of sick, satisfying Grand Guignol genre flick you want smuggled in among the big-ticket summer blockbusters right now... Resistance is futile. High-grade grindhouse glee is your reward." (Rolling Stone)

"UPGRADE is the kind of movie that gets the audience's fist-pumping, then it gets them thinking, then it gets utterly insane, in all the best ways. It demands a rewatch as soon as possible." (Film Threat)

"UPGRADE only wants to have great, gory fun." (Globe and Mail)
