20 volunteers agree to take part in a seemingly well-paid experiment advertised by the university. It is supposed to be about aggressive behavior in an artificial prison situation. A journalist senses a story behind the ad and smuggles himself in among the test subjects. They are randomly divided into prisoners and guards. What seems like a game at the beginning soon turns into bloody seriousness.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A psychological thriller that traps you in an escalating nightmare of authority and abuse, where ordinary people transform into something brutal when given power over others. The film's slow descent into chaos is claustrophobic and deeply disturbing.
