Empathy Inc. provides a monochromatic heart-racing sci-fi thriller that keeps the audience guessing through every twist and turn. The film begins when venture capitalist Joel suffers the loss of his job and a multi-million-dollar deal leaving him with no way to provide support for him and his wife Jessica (Kathy Searle). Distraught and desperate for money, Joel (Zack Robidas) agrees to invest into an upcoming company known as XVR (Extreme Virtual Reality) that gives users the opportunity to spend a day in the shoes of the less fortunate. This promising opportunity becomes more doubtful and suspicious throughout the film as XVR proves itself to cause more pain and anguish than the prosperity Joel anticipated. Director Yedidya Gorestman’s use of suspense, perspective, struggle, and horror will manipulate the audience’s ability to reason and will keep them asking questions from start to finish. This film is seamlessly directed and incorporates aspects such as romance, greed, and ambition displaying them in a way like never before. I highly suggest this film to viewers who want to be impacted and mind-blown in a way like never before!
