Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

aubie84 You have a choice in life- Get attention by hard work, seek positivity, overcome challenge, achieve life satisfaction... Or- This, needing attention by shock, negative posturing, and wallering in weird, base-need mindlessness- This film is an attempt at the latter and, like cult member insecurity behavior, they take peoples money to scare them as if they are now important, accepted and part of this club, new fetish, or documentary... Waste of time- Transparent in the intent, and insults the minds of productive, thinking humans. Here, sign my paper. Pay me your money... Boo- thanks. The 'scary' part only -is that people actually buy into it and can't think two steps ahead. Go to a haunted house?... Watch a horror flick?... See a Dominatrix?... but This is pathetic- I really tried, I strained even to get any smidge of value or understanding- but No- sad to watch distorted people with weak minds pretending to want to belong- Not sure which is more sad to watch- the dweebs (actors) paying to have weirdos scare them... Or the BOut guys taking these peoples money, filming a shake cam videos, and exploiting these troubled, psyche-dim participants- to make more money selling the silly process as a documentary? Too close to call-

Leofwine_draca 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.

Michael Ledo This is one of those films that you either hate or took part in making it. The film was neither scary nor shocking but most of it was black and white. People pay to submerge themselves in a tailored made frightening experience and become addicted to it. They make people get naked, watch films, be in the dark, a box, and put their hand over their face. Half the film is people talking in the abstract about their experience. Real torture is sitting through it.Guide: F-word, nudity.

Ryan Manley 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!
