Firstly, please let me suggest that this movie is not about Stanford Prison Experiment. It doesn't claim that it presents what happened in 1971 at Stanford' basement. The experiment in this movie was done somewhere else by someone else and it seemed illegal to me. That's the point. Please keep it in mind while watching.
Moreover. Is The Experiment a remake of 2001 Das Experiment? I guess not. Two movies share the same plot (prison experiment) but each one has its own characters and story line. Good thing is you could watch both movies excitedly about what will happen next. Fahd(2001) is a reporter, Trevis(2010) is not. Stories are quite different as well. 2001 has at least 3 researchers working around, 2010 has none.
I assumed what story writer want to tell us is the experiment in 2010 version is an illegal action. The researcher brought men to the location faraway from town, let them be, and didn't give a damn. All the researcher did was collecting information heartlessly, let guards played bad guys as they pleased. So it drove prisoners crazy.
For me, this story makes sense more than 2001 which the experiment was employed in town with only 3 researchers who were unable to control the situation. And I kinda don't like the idea in 2001 movie which let outsiders get involved too much, I mean, Fahd' girlfriend and researchers, 2 women, on top of that. The experiment was supposed to be Male-Only experiment, was it not?
I won't say that which version is better or more original-like for both of them are not completely original-like at all. I watched both, and both of them enjoyed me a lot. Horrifying and disgusting. That's enough for watching movies. If you want to know what happened in 1971 -real- Stanford Prison Experiment, don't waste your hours watching these movies, go watch the documentary named "Quiet Rage: The Stanford Prison Experiment" instead.
