I probably would have enjoyed this more if Forrest Whitaker didn't get an erection. That and the peeing scene.
It has no idea what it wants to be, the music feels dramatic in comparison to what is actually happening on screen, and I eventually lost interest. I feel like I should have been more disgusted by this one, but to be honest, it's just sort of mildly uncomfortable and never really goes anywhere surprising. A high schooler could have easily written this.
That being said, the color palette was nice and the actors are good. They just don't have much to work with and the ending is stupid. Furthermore, there isn't a whole lot of tension.
Ultimately, this movie is okay. Over the top and too gross to show friends, but not the worst thing I've ever seen.

Took a Psychology course and one of the projects was to recreate a famous experiment and I chose to recreate Zimbardo's 1971 experiment, where are my two Oscars?

Actually a pretty good film it would get a higher rating If the ending didnt feel rushed. Just ended really quick. The people r a fuckin idiots tho all they had to do was just think about the money
