Red 11

Red 11 is a 2019 American science fiction horror film produced, and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez co-wrote the film with his son Racer Max, after previously collaborating on The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D in 2005. The film is inspired by Robert Rodriguez's experiences described in his 1995 book Rebel Without a Crew. The film stars Roby Attal, Lauren Hatfield, Alejandro Rose-Garcia, Eman Esfandi, Steve Brudniak, Brently Heilbron, Pierce Foster Bailey, Katherine Willis, Ulysses Montoya, and Carlos Gallardo. The film had its world premiere at the 2019 SXSW festival on March 15, 2019. It also premiered at the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2019, the Overlook Film Festival on May 31, 2019, and the Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival on September 14, 2019. The film was scheduled to be released on the streaming service Tubi in 2020 in the United States, but was delayed for undisclosed reasons. The film was eventually released on December 7, 2021, simultaneously on several VOD services including iTunes and Amazon Prime. Premise Set in a dark, twisted world of legal drug research where college kids become lab rats to make quick money, the film focuses on Rob (Roby Attal) who is trying to buy his way out of a huge debt of $7,000. Given the designation of Red 11, things get surreal when he is not sure if the hospital is really trying to kill him, or if it's side effects from the experimental drugs. Red 11 is based on director/writer Robert Rodriguezs experiences in a medical research facility to finance his first feature El Mariachi.
