Punishment Park
Directed by Peter Watkins
In a desert zone in southwest California, a civilian tribunal passes sentence on groups of dissidents and gives them the option of participating in law enforcement training exercises in the Bear Mountain Punishment Park. In an atmosphere of aggression and intimidation and in soaring temperatures, the prisoners have to fight for their lives as they are hunted down by the forces of law and order.

50 years and nothing has changed. This is the scariest goddamn movie on here, very hard to watch.
doesn't worth to watch.
Not your typical horror movie but a horror movie none the less!
First re-watch of Punishment Park and it's still as brilliant as the first watch through. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially those with an interest in politics surrounding police brutality, human rights, racism and war. Not your typical horror, but the contents are certainly horrific.
Unique idea, brilliant execution.
