In 1989, in Washington, the friends George (Rupert Evans), Max (Kenny Doughty) and Ricky (Joseph Kennedy) are aspirant musicians that play in a band in their leisure time. They work as cooks in the Sans Asylum to earn money to pay their bills, including renting a studio to record their songs. The asylum is located in an isolated area and is monitored by a team led by the security guard J.B. (Dave Legeno). The deranged inmates are criminals and they take pills to stay calm.
One day, George has a concert during the night but J.B. asks him to arrive early in the morning to receive the supplies for the kitchen. George leaves his girlfriend Lynn (Anna Skellern) without sleeping and heads to the asylum. While he is preparing the meals for the insane inmates with his colleagues, there is a storm and a power outage in the area and the monitoring system fails. With the mental hospital in the darkness, the inmates led by the cruel Harry Green (Richard Brake) attack the guards and staff. George and the other kitchen workers hide from the horde of violent madmen. Will they survive?
"The Incident" is a sadistic torture film with an unclear and unintelligible conclusion. The situation is absurd since there are just a few guards to control violent criminals and the security is based on systems that stop working with a power outage. Further, how could take one hour to the police to reach the institution in a rebellion? Every situation is a pretext for torture, violence and gore. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Desespero" ("Despair")
