A special ops squad, going by the name of Hell’s Bastards, are sent into a war torn stretch of the world to retrieve some intel. Upon wiping out a camp of soldiers, the team discover a blonde woman chained up in one of their tents. She bites the finger off of one of the soldiers and then warns the team to “not go down.” The prisoner may be a civilian but the hardass team leader demands the termination of the woman. One of the soldiers begrudgingly follows the order. Enemy fire pins them down soon after, but after some killing and ignoring of war crimes, the team manage to make it to the extraction point and flee. Surviving the dangers of infiltrating a violent civil war, the unit is thrust into something worse when the group of soldiers return back to home base. A busted elevator forces them to take the stairs and they find themselves trapped on an endless stairwell where their past sins come to collect and a failure to move upward leads to death. Time stops working, reality crumbles and the soldiers start dropping as they march on to their final judgement under the realization that nothing makes any fucking sense anymore. That spooky prisoner they shot in the head seems to be the one haunting their elite asses and the connection is made pretty quickly to how they got placed in this awful situation… something their dickhead leader does not want to admit. With doorways leading back to their strike on the camp, they get it in their heads that if things play out differently, they may be able to escape their current predicament. Dwindling numbers in their ranks make it difficult but it sure beats wandering up a staircase forever. The cast is more than capable and the little-seen spirit design is fine if not a bit familiar but it runs way longer than it needs to and loses steam with way too much time left.
