The Blackout Experiments (2016)
You arrive at a secret location at a precise time, prompted by a mysterious email. You must follow the instructions closely. Once inside, disturbing visions begin. Unspeakable acts befall you—often frightening, sometimes sensual, possibly painful—each stimulating your deepest fears. And when it's over, you are changed, abandoned, and left wondering what is real and what was merely a game.

Just perfect...
Brilliant and touching
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
THE BLACKOUT EXPERIMENTS is a ridiculously poor attempt at an indie horror film, with a twist that it's done for real as a faux documentary. The format follows a bunch of people as they endure some of the lamest and silliest 'torture' ever put on film, while the viewer looks on. There's no horror content here, just endless talking head footage and a very slow pace. Why waste your time? You'd be better off watching a 'normal' horror film instead.
The so called documentary feels fake and is boring. When something does happen it's way too dark and shaky to see anything interesting. None of the subjects felt compelling or real and lack motivation. This movie takes itself way too serious.The only redeeming factor is that is shot somewhat nicely.Oh and that 'secret' survivor group that's willing to be on camera, come on...
This movie is boring as hell. There is nothing interesting about it at all. The "torture" scenes are like tickle fights compared to most movies in the genre. I get the premise of the movie, it's just not good. The attempt at realism is somewhat believable, but it's just not entertaining. Not scary, not horrifying, not interesting. This film could have been great if they had taken it more in the horror direction. It felt like they wanted it to be a horror movie, but were too afraid to go there. It was one of those flicks that seems like it will get good at any moment, but never makes it. It's worse than a bad B movie because I couldn't turn it off within the first five minutes. As a matter of fact, I'm not wasting any more of my life on this abortion. You have been warned.
The film is very well made. This director knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat and take you deep into the minds of the people involved in the documentary. I happen to know about the haunt, so the film didn't really scare me, but if you haven't heard of Blackout, just watch the movie and you will be shocked. It is 100% real, and the documentary is very well made. The surprising thing about the documentary, isn't even necessarily the few glimpses that you see of the haunt. It is the people who go through it and let it become and addiction... basically an obsession. Blackout really knows how to get into people's heads. They are very good at it! I loved it!
