The Experiment (2010)


26 men are chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study that ultimately spirals out of control.

Although well staged and played this version distorts the actual message by directing the cause to a singular person's fault.

Maltin **: "At once fascinating and repellent film starts off strongly but degenerates into a melodramatic exercise in cruelty. Remake of the 2001 German film DAS EXPERIMENT is loosely based on the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment."
