Zobel has assembled an array of acting talent within both film and TV, with the lead going to the young Dreama Walker (Gran Torino, Sex and the City, Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty)
Walker is supported fantastically by actress Ann Dowd (Marley and Me and Side Effects). Other support comes from Matt Servitto (Enchanted) and Pat Healy (Magnolia).
As far as independent cinema goes, Compliance is a film that pays tribute to the small budget, completed for just $270,000 it's sure to cash in way above that.
Based upon the horrific work of a sociopathic serial phone-prankster, who for a decade got away with endless hoax calls to innocent members of the US.
Compliance is based upon the phone call that took place in 2004 and what followed was a masterstroke of pure evil.
It's a normal day at work for the young and innocent fast food worker Becky (Walker), who shares the regular chitter chatter with her colleagues and the normal tensions with her manager Sandra (Dowd).
The day takes a chilling turn once Sandra takes a call from who she believes to be Officer Daniels (Healy).
The phone call leads to an accusation towards Becky, once pulled to the back of the store by her manager, what plays out in front of us is a satanic demonstration of the weakness and suggestibility of human nature all from the voice and demands of Officer Daniels.
*It is a cold, hard, shrewd film: satire with a drop of cyanide*

*A provocative little drama that really gets under the skin*
