Das Experiment is a shocking psycho thriller about the potential for brutality that humans hide. Even more shocking is the fact that it’s based on an actual occurrence — a 1971 psychological experiment at Stanford University that was aborted prematurely when the experimenters lost control.

Experiment, some people are the guards and the other are prisioners, only 6 days and they must shutdown because of brutality. Some people with power are dangerous. Based in a experiment

This was wickedddddd. The tension was felt in every moment, in every scene and shot. The dark colours light up stark against the oddly steretypical but not out of place music. This compelling storytelling has you on edge through out the movie! If you like thrillers, and stories with unethical motives, give this a shot!

In fact, I expected a little more from this film. A film in the bowels of a research laboratory made according to a real event, where the whole experiment gets out of control, is certainly a tempting topic. Unfortunately, the content of the film is no longer like that. The whole film came to me a bit sloppy, but it certainly didn't bore me. I like movies from the prison environment, but probably because it was de facto just a game, as some actors in the film said, it didn't bother me that much, but I still think that you will find this film for your fans. I definitely rate this film positively, even though I expected more from it

Berus V 77, Experiment, Das (2001), amazing experience!

So it took me close on 7 years to watch it, so it took me to do a thread about my personal prison based film project on IMDb to get some prompts for this film, I'm just like Novacaine, if you give me time, I get there.

Based on the real More
