Eileen wakes up locked in a room with sound-damping foam on the walls. She can’t remember how she got there because her memory has been practically wiped. She is chained to a chair bolted to the floor. She can’t get up. In front of her is a table, also bolted to the floor, with a single pencil on it. “Move the pencil,” a voice from an intercom says from the roof. These tests become increasingly difficult and eventually lead her to develop a serious ability of her telekinetic power to save her family.
Check stars Sara Mitich as Eileen, George Tchortov plays her husband Roger and Evie Loiselle plays her daughter Eve. Karen LeBlanc plays the voice of The Administrator from the intercom. It is directed by James Mark, who also co-wrote with Matthew Nayman. Check is scheduled to release in select theaters on September 23, 2022 and digitally on September 27, but before that we have an exclusive clip to premiere.

“What are you doing?” asks Eileen in the exclusive clip. “I’m trying to get you out of this chair,” Roger replies. He tries to help her complete a task, otherwise “they” – the administrator – will kill their daughter. “You have a gift and you should use it, honey. We have just over a minute to perform a miracle, so you want to save Eve or not,” Roger says. She concentrates and begins to use her telekinetic powers to complete the task. You can watch it in full above.
