Scheduled for release on March 21, 2025, the film is an English-language remake of the 2019 Argentinian thriller “4×4”.

The trailer showcases a series of harrowing punishments inflicted upon Eddie, including tasings, extreme temperature manipulations, and psychological torment, all underscored by an unsettling polka soundtrack.
