The Experiment

26 men are chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study that ultimately spirals out of control. $14,000 for two weeks, it is easy-earned money. The study examines aggressive behavior in an artificial prison setting. At first the tenants are divided randomly into prisoners and guards, but soon a spiral of violence begins. Guards and prisoners are left fighting to the bitter end.

Starring roles are Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, and Maggie Grace.

Trailer:

Straight to dvd film.

I have to admit: It looks campy, but fun.

This is based off of like a real study, right? Well I mean, after looking at the trailer this is obviously exxagerated, but, I heard that they did something like this.

Based off of a similar experiment, yes, and, also, it is a remake.

Yeah... I think they actually had to cancel the real study before it's end because it really got out of hand. Amazing stuff really.

Although I do believe there are doubts about it's authenticity. I remember some people had to study it at school.

Don't bother with the remake, just see the original German film if you haven't seen either.

I love that movie. I love foreign films and I am a doctoral student in psychology, so it was right down my alley. The first half is pretty darn close to the actual Stanford Prison study, while the second half goes into a fictionalized version if things went horribly wrong.
