Plot: Based on the 1971 Stanford University simulation study of the psychology of imprisonment (otherwise know as the Stanford Prison Experiment), DAS EXPERIMENT is an intense psychodrama about a group of ordinary men who volunteer to take place in a paid two-week study on the mental effects of prison life.

This is a great rent if you're up for a slow psychological horror thriller. Pretty disturbing so this is not the kind of film you watch on your first date, I think this should be viewed in private as you really have to follow the movie to a 100%. If you don't follow through the whole slow beginning of the movie, then the rest might make no sense.  --AnthroFred (SlasherPool)
