Standard Operating Procedure

Many horror movies are extremely laughable due to the fact that the situations presented within them are completely unbelievable, allowing audiences to suspend their disbelief for the entire course of the film. However, Errol Morris‘s latest film, Standard Operating Procedure is no laughing matter. The events it covers actually did happen. Opening April 25th, this feature length documentary from the director of The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line, which is being billed as a non-fiction horror movie, takes an unflinching, in-depth look at the atrocities carried out at Abu Ghraib and the people behind them. With exclusive interviews with almost all of the principles in the now infamous photographs including Lynndie England, Morris probes for the context surrounding the photographs and explores the surrounding influences in terms of Post 9/11 Culture and the U.S. military and intelligence chains of command. In other words, it’s a must see.
