🎬 MovieFinder's Take
"Эксперимент" (2001) builds its dread through atmosphere rather than effects, and that's why it stays with you after the credits.
If you're looking for a late-night scare — this delivers. If you don't like the genre, keep moving.
For those who watch scary movies in company and want the atmosphere to hold for the entire runtime.
Director: Oliver Hirschbiegel

Best Watched
Viewing atmosphere: Friday night, dark room, ideally with company — alone might be uncomfortable.
