About B...A...
In the 2022 released film, B...A..., a seemingly typical gang initiation turns into a nightmare when four new recruits are forced to break into a house that turns out to be home to a sadistic killer. The assailant is not out for blood or revenge, but instead, he is more interested in playing twisted, deadly games that put the life of each recruit at stake. The movie unravels each recruit's grit, wit, and courage as they struggle to survive against their will. This psychological thriller with elements of horror is a testament to the human will to survive against all odds.
Making / Production

The setting of a deserted house, the presence of a sadistic killer, and a game of life and death were the elements that the production team masterfully used to make the viewers question their understanding of fear. Produced under the banner of XYZ productions, the movie was shot in less than four months.
