YA
Foiled in their attempt to escape from a sadistic penal institution for boys, Alex and Zee (Lockdown) struggle to survive solitary confinement, avoid becoming "specimens" subjected to pseudo-scientific experimentation, and discover a new escape route. Unrelenting action and violence leave little time for character development, but horror fans will relish the monstrous villains and labyrinthine underground world in this second installment.
