This German film sees a group of volunteers split into two groups of Prison Gaurds and Inmates and spending two weeks playing out their vairous roles. This is the Experiment.

Brilliamtly contrusted characters and situations that tap in to the basic human needs of survival drive this well paced film all the way to the brutal and surprising conclusion. This film represent realistic peolpe in extreme enviorment and you can really experince the psychological pressures portrayed by both sides.

Reminds me of similar extreme survival films like Cube and Battle Royale. The only difference is that this is shocklingly real beacuse its based on a true story.
