I saw the movie last night with a few friends of mine. By far the most disturbing movie I've ever seen in my life. I loved it. I have never watched a movie before in a state of total and utter shock, and had trouble sleeping afterwards. Best movie I seen all year, I hope it wins an award, because it deserves one. Along with having a great plot, the acting was excellent, and the camerawork/filmmaking was great.

For those that dont know, its a german film based on a psychology experiment performed in the US a few decades ago. People were randomly assigned to be prisoners and guards, and things got a little out of hand.

If I ever come a theater around here I will see it. I saw the trailr yesterday and it looked good.


Plus, it is German and has the word Das in it so it must be good.

True, it will not have a very wide release. Living in nyc has its advantages. But seriously, if you can see it go for it, but it is NOT a date movie.

Release Dates : [ NY 9.18, LA 9.20 : Nationwide Oct - Nov ]

No way it comes anywhere near here. Nothing thought-provoking ever does. :disgust:

Will have to see it.

If you want to see a movie that will give you trouble sleeping, watch Requiem For A Dream (GET THE UNCUT VERSION!).

I just saw the movie last night! I haven't been so affected by a movie in forever(rapid heart beat, holding my breath...). That was one awesome and extreme movie! This is one time I actually don't feel bad paying $9.00 just to see movie...
