Senator Film (German)
Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Columbia TriStar)
Volunteers are recruited for a controlled prison experiment in a medical school. Some are given uniforms while the rest are given smocks and locked up three to a cell. One young man taunts a guard he doesn't particularly like and their personal feud soon spills over to the others. The violence escalates in a matter of days to torture, kidnapping, rape and eventually murder. Interesting if decidedly unpleasant experience, incorporating techniques such as hidden cameras and security footage which give it a now-cliche reality tv feel.
