Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Twenty-four male students out of seventy-five were selected to take on randomly assigned roles of prisoners and guards in a mock prison situated in the basement of the Stanford psychology building.”

Poster: D+

Review: Perhaps it’s an appropriate image to sell this film, but the overall design is flat and lifeless, something that a casual viewer would look at mildly aghast and then forget about it.

Trailer: C

Review: The infamous Stanford Prison Experiment would seem to make a fascinating subject for a film, but this trailer doesn’t do a very good job putting that idea forward. Audiences aren’t likely to respond with enthusiasm or even mild curiosity seeing this.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
