Horrible Bosses (2011)

Horrible Bosses, directed by Seth Gordon, is a story about a group of three coworkers who conspire to ruin or murder their bosses. Their motive is somewhat similar to the motive of our main character, the bosses are restricting the workers happiness and look down on them. Leading them to become mentally exhausted and in a need to find a solution. In which they find by going to the extreme of murder while the main character in our film decides to ruin the business through the use of a virus.

Both movies have characters with similar notives and similar characters. Despite the fact they could quit their job, they feel that it is not an option.

A major difference between both films is that Horrible Bosses could be said to be a 'Black Comedy'. While our film is aiming more towards being a psychological thriller. The main character in 'Prime Time' (our film) has sustained mental damage and is on the verge of going insane, the movie depicts his fall into insanity, at the end there is a resolution to the story that could be said to be happy, that is the case if you were to allign with the main character, which we are encouraging the viewer to do. Horrible Bosses also has a somewhat happy resolution.
