What are they hoping to learn fro this study, how much it sucks to clean up human shit? if humans are capable of being good boys? how did they even get permission to do this in a University? wait... is this another PETA stunt?
plot summary is real basic with this movie. A man and a woman find themselves unwilling participants in an experiment in which their captors treat them like dogs. dogs who use giant hamster water bottles apparently. for the first 20-30 minutes is exactly what you would expect. the two captives chat, we get an idea what the schedule is like, they talk about an escape plan, and suddenly the experiment is put on pause and the whole movie turns into something way more interesting.
instead of being about two people trying to escape, it becomes the people running the experiment becoming suspicious that someone is administering an unknown drug to the subjects. not only that whoever created the whole experiment has a much darker motive, and she will do whatever it takes to keep the experiment running. its a delightfully dark movie with so many interesting micro plots it hard to fully describe the multiple stories play out. it packed full of themes of obsession, abuse of power, objectification, good ol fashion simping, and of course human behavior.
after the first 30 minutes, this movie really blossoms into a hundred times more interesting version of an old genre classic.
oh yeah and sometimes there cool gore and that's always fun.
9/10
