In an attempt to relive the torturous experiments his grandfather performed as a Nazi guard, Torsten hatches a plan to put himself in the shoes of the tortured, for the sake of self redemption and making sense of a past he had no idea existed. With two willing volunteers he gets to work in an abandoned industrial facility on the outskirts of town. With the experiment continuing to take its toll on all three, cracks begin to surface which eventually halt his deranged plan. The experiment maybe over, but the torture is only beginning..

This is the first time I have said this and really meant it: This is the worst movie I have ever seen. If I could give a minus vote on here, it would be minus 58 or something. It STINKS!
I know people mention The Room when they talk about bad movies, but even if it was a ridiculous one, at least The Room had a story. This movie doesn't.
The synopsis for this is: "Uncovering the truth behind his recently euthanized grandfather, film director Torsten plans the unthinkable. In an attempt to relive the torturous experiments his grandfather performed as a Nazi guard, Torsten hatches a plan to put himself in the shoes of the tortured, for the sake of self redemption and making sense of a past he had no idea existed. With two willing volunteers he gets to work in an abandoned industrial facility on the outskirts of town. With the experiment continuing to take its toll on all three, cracks begin to surface which eventually halt his deranged plan. The experiment maybe over, but the torture is only beginning.. Written by Mark Iipkin"
The synopsis should be: "Bad acting around a storyline that doesn't exist. Watch something you don't care about or understand for an hour and a half."
"In an attempt to relive the torturous experiments his grandfather performed as a Nazi guard, Torsten hatches a plan to put himself in the shoes of the tortured, for the sake of self redemption and making sense of a past he had no idea existed". Sounds interesting, but none of that happens. You see him carrying some tires around. That is it. Is this movie holocaust denial propaganda or something? Because if prisoners in concentration camps just had to move tires about, I'm betting less would have died. Did he make sense of a past he didn't know existed? I don't ****ing know, and I'm never told!
Anyway. The first thing you think when watching this movie is: the main character can't act to save his life. He is really bad. It's like watching a bad soap opera.
The second thing you think, and continue to think throughout the movie is: I have no idea what is going on, who's who, and what relationship they have with any other character.
Another thing I was screaming at the screen after about 10 minutes was: Enough of the smoking!! It isn't edgy or anything. Stop shoehorning it in every scene. The first 30 minutes of this movie can be summed up like this: people who we know nothing about, talk about things we never get to understand, while smoking a lot.
Who the guy in the bed is at the start and what significance does he have? I don't ****ing know! You find out it's Torsten's grandfather, who was a Nazi who kept a diary but that is it! Due to there being ZERO interaction between them you find out NOTHING about why Torsten is so affected by this revelation.
Who is the woman Torsten talks to? What is their relationship? I don't ****ing know, and I'm never told!
What happened to Paulo? Did Noah kill him? I don't ****ing know, and I'm never told!
The ending is ****ing awful. I can imagine the assholes that made this garbage high-fiving each other thinking it was cool. Well, here's some news for you guys: it wasn't. It was stupid. Almost as stupid as the rest of the God awful movie.
Also, why name him Torsten? If there was a competition for The Man Who Looks Least Likely to be Named Torsten, this guy would come 2nd after Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Call him Bob or something because the name Torsten is pointless.
I literally had no idea what was going on throughout the whole movie. There is ZERO exposition about anything.
Complete ****.
You never get to know what is going on, or who is who, and it ended that way. No one could ever give this a positive review; because it's crap, and you don't even know what you are watching!
You never find out what was written in the diary. You just get some arty-angsty bull**** shots of people reading it. So you have no idea why anyone would get so upset after reading it.
The doctor dude at the beginning is pointless as is the whole assisted suicide bit because we know NOTHING about ANYTHING that is going on. You could have had the old guy just die. Or not even be in the movie. Torsten could have found it while cleaning his stupid house
Noah is one of the worst characters ever on film. He just turns odd for no reason. Was it because he read the diary? I don't know because we never got to read the diary. Also, does Noah read German? Because I assume it was written in German. He is supposed to have been building a load of sets or something. But you never see any of the stuff he built. Only that round door/cover he puts on that whatever-it-is. That is another thing. People seem to teleport all over the place with, of course, no explanation as to how they got there. Torsten ends up in the whatever-it-is. How? I don't ****ing know, and I'm never told!
The "I'm trying to eat my sandwich" bit is moronic. I wanted to punch both people, repeatedly, in the face while it was going on.
The "Come and see the fackin' view!" scene was probably their idea of a set-piece scary line scene. But it failed because it meant nothing, wasn't scary, and ended nowhere.
Who the **** financed this trash and why would anyone think it is good!???
This won't even turn into a cult movie because I have no idea what went on so there is nothing to find even remotely interesting.
