Detailed process protocol:

 

TEST #1

Severe amount of caffeine and tobacco were administered into the subject's body. At this screening he had to be bound tight to the chair, with his head fixed in placed and eyes mechanically forced open. No emotional responses to the screening material, except frustration and anger caused by restraints.

 

TEST #2

Subject was exposed to 0,75 grams of ultra-tetra-hydro-cannabinol. Restraints were not necessary this time, subject did not showed any kind of threat whatsoever, he asked for more comfortable chair and some chocolate from the "nearest place open" instead. Junior assistant was dispatched for this assignment.

Subject showed interest in screening material and was asking more questions about the plot. He showed great concern and empathy for the grieving parents and asked if "the young lady will be alright". After close examination of his own hands subject started to laugh uncontrollably  had to be taken in custody until the side effects wear off.

 

TEST #3

Subject was injected by 200 grams of psilocybin. Apart from certain dizziness and loss of dimensional orientation he remained calm and cooperative throughout the experiment.

For the first time he acknowledged the existence of audible part. He found the music somewhat disturbing and threatening. After muting the sound, subject showed further interest in the visual part. Unexpectedly - more attention was paid to the flaws of the image. Subject was unable to make clear distinctions between single characters and could not understand change of the shot. At first he considered the lying character as one of the persons who were left in front of the door. Then he could not understand where "the old guys disappeared".

Further study of connection of the drug to the loss of perception and comprehension of film language is recommended.

 

TEST #4

Lysergic acid diethylamide was applied into the bloodstream of the subject. Uncertain and distrustful looks disappeared after 20 minutes and were exchanged by the temporal loss of movement control.

Screening test had proven to be successful. After five hours of screening of the same part, subject was afraid of the door and claimed that "the death was waiting for him inside." Image flaws were associated with the agony of death and subject could not divert his sight from moving image. After the end of the screening, subject (still under the influence of the chemical) showed great fear and loathing for his environment, especially the facility door.
