The Experiment

Based on the 'Drama, Thriller' genre and the plot of a psychological prison experiment escalating into a dangerous and volatile situation, audience emotional responses would be dominated by intense Anxiety and Fear due for the characters' safety and the constant threat. Strong Anger and Disgust would arise from the sadistic actions of the guards and the inherent injustice of the experiment. The film's content is inherently Disturbing, showcasing the breakdown of humanity. Empathy and Sadness would be felt for the prisoners, particularly Travis, as they endure suffering and loss of identity, while Anticipation builds as the audience wonders about the experiment's escalating brutality and Travis's limits.
