Where the first hour was interesting the last 50 minutes were overwhelming and shocking. It's even more shocking to know this is based on true events. One talked a lot about what would happen when ppl are put in extreme situations and I believe this movie captures what is a possibility. Disturbing. This film gave me about ten wtf-moments in the last 30 minutes and I mean this in a positive way. Incredible use of camera and music, all together in a piece of art. Psychologically great filmmaking.

Cool little movie that is inspired by the events of the Stanford Prison experiment that took place in the 70s. The film is shot very well and the actors in this experiment do a wonderful job. This movie is pretty great up to a certain point and then I felt it got a little absurd. It's supposed to show how people would react in a certain situation and while it seems accurate and believable until a certain point then it just seems like it goes a bit too far. Still very much worth a viewing.

There are strong moments in "Das Experiment", but they are drowned in far too much filler (including the most ridiculously tacked-on softporn sequences I have ever seen). Also, the "villain" and the "sidekick" are a little too cartoony for my tastes and the ending is way, way over the top. Quite frankly, I'd recommend reading a book about the Stanford Experiment instead of watching this.
