Critic Reviews:
If this "documentary" had an actual purpose, then we would’ve known much more about why these people participate, and many of the points in the above would have been addressed. Instead, it’s just one big infomercial for Blackout. And I’m sure it’ll continue to been a huge success – in part thanks to this film. Just look at the Fifty Shades of Grey craze for reference.
It’s actually quite shocking that something as lame as THE BLACKOUT EXPERIMENTS got into a festival like Sundance, where the midnight selections are usually so carefully curated. With so many other promising genre voices out there, it’s a shame a slot was wasted on this prank of a film. And you know what – even if I’m wrong and somehow this is real, it’s still really boring.
The documentary was a wonderfully unpredictable examination of psychological fear resulting in an entertaining and intriguing experience.
