Alicia I love this movie so much

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

towards-the-within Having watched the film, and in respect to most users' comments I will try and be as easy on it as possible. The idea around which the movie's filmed, is interesting. Yet not overly original. Manchurian candidate was more or less of the same idea, with some better acting to it I might add. Nonetheless, it's always an interesting idea. I did feel a slight bonding to the characters, but not overly so. Yet for a movie where the characters hardly take the time to speak to one another other than grunt, that is an achievement. And has a lot to do with their gestures, and facial expressions. Solid 'silent' acting by the two stars, the villains of the film were kind of 'fakish' to my eyes. But the married couple seemed bond well together after a rusty start. However, the 'scary' part I must disagree with. I wasn't frightened during any of the film's moments. And I may be a hardcore thriller/horror movie fan, but I do remain jumpy or frightened if something is there to actually frighten me. This movie was more so like a...film in which you knew there'd be a twist in the plot at the movie's end, and just waited to see if your guess was right. Unfortunately for me, and the friend who watched it with me, we both were more or less right over both the twist and its nature. Not recommended for watching, unless you really want to kill an hour or two watching a film. On the bright side. It's not really that bad, it's just overly mediocre. There's many better films out there. And twice as many worse.

pko66 A reasonably good start that obscures a really stupid and lame plot, as soon as it starts explaining it you think "can't be serious, can't be SOOOOO absurd!" The story does not stand up a child's mind, the acting is horrendous, the dialog almost non existent, the localization really cheap... the only achievement is to show Prague as a really ugly city, something not so easy.Really, paying to see this crap seems to be a really nasty way to lose money.For me, the only possible explanation for all that positive comments is that the people involved in the making of the movie are trying to improve its ratings. Incredible.

carlton163 The lowdown: The recipient of various festival awards, this classy British indie flick has yet to be made commercially available, but it's clearly only a matter of time. Best described as a hard thriller with elements of horror and sci-fi, it sees Anna (Georgina French) waking up in a foreign city. She has no idea who she is, or what she's meant to be doing. Should it be any consolation that there's a guy in town, Morgan (John Hopkins), who's suffering the same problems? As the film's title suggests, the reasons behind their plight are somewhat more sinister than having done a load of tequila shots the night before.Good points: Shot in Prague using the latest High Definition technology, Experiment looks great - especially given its low budget of $250,000. Setting the story in a foreign city cleverly emphasises the main characters' sense of isolation and confusion, and it's a bold move to include a great deal of on screen English subtitles in the first act. The cast attack their roles with considerable energy, except for David Gant as evil mastermind Walker, who achieves brilliant things by speakkkking verrrry slowwwwwly. Pure malevolence.Starting off at a fairly leisurely pace, while throwing in the odd deftly-timed jump to ensure you aren't sitting too comfortably (look out for the one in a hotel room - it puts all the tiresome Ring clones to shame), Experiment rarely stops entertaining - right up until the bitter end.Bad points: There's little to complain about. The script's only weakness is the way in which Anna and Morgan do a little too much agonising over not knowing who they are. After a while, it becomes tiring to watch. No big deal. Overall: Several notches about the average indie thriller, Experiment has a dark intensity which you'll want to check out. Now it's up to distributors to allow you that pleasure...

andertonian I was unfortunate enough to catch a screening of Experiment at the Phoenix Film Festival, although I'll be honored to be the first on IMDb to warn you all of what you'd be getting into if you were to see it.A woman named Anna (Georgina French) wakes up in the middle of the street in Prague (where I'm assuming it was shot for cost reasons - first bad sign) without knowledge of her identity or even what language she speaks. Somewhere else in the city, a man named Morgan (John Hopkins) does the same. It all appears to be part of an experiment involving Stefan (Andrew Byron - utterly awful, in case I don't get to him later in the review) and Joseph (Nick Simons).The writing is simply awful, and the film has an awkward, shifty pace that ruins the mystery before it even has a chance to start. Some of the concepts here aren't completely bad - Anna and Morgan struggle with learning their own language in a completely foreign country, although the dialog and performances amount to confused stuttering that drags already unnecessary scenes out. There's an air of cheapness about the whole thing - the leaders of the experiment literally run the project out of somebody's basement (ridiculous when we learn how high up it goes), and in one hilarious moment, an attempted rapist gets up and walks out of the room after being knocked down by Anna. Very nonchalantly.When the actual plot is revealed in the last half-hour, the film starts to move - too late for those who wisely walked out, although they weren't missing much. Somehow the story shifts to an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister, which has nothing to do with the events that inevitably take place, and only seems to have been added to make the movie seem more epic and important. Instead, it's stupid and kind of funny. There's a predictable twist ending that brings absolutely no closure to the whole mess, and you're left with 90 wasted minutes. Don't let me forget to mention that the film had no lighting. Not low lighting for atmosphere, not dim lighting, but no lighting. At all. It's almost as if the filmmakers wanted to put you to sleep.If I have anything good to say, David Gant was pleasantly over the top as the mastermind behind the whole project, there's a nice pair of breasts, and the theme that is revealed in about the last fifteen minutes of the movie in a tossed-off manner of the fallacies of love & trust was pretty neat and I'd like to see it implemented in a good movie next time.Boo.
