A Young Man with High Potential

Wow, where did this little nasty come from? Sometimes it truly pays off cruising the web for little seen/alternative titles and this beauty came through in spades. Mashing genre trops such as horror, drama, thriller and tar-black comedy to near perfection, this impressive feature manages to be a stand out as both sad, horrifying and moving with utmost competance. I simply can't recommend this indie enough (if you have the stomach for it, that is) Hope you enjoy it.

A Young Man With High Potential: A dark thriller which segues into horror as a comedy of errors overwhelms a computer geek. Piet (Adam Ild Rohweder) is a nerdish computer science student, reclusive, fears even the slightest social interaction, depending on webcam girl Kylie for stimulation. So he flees when another student, Klara (Paulina Galazka), suggests they become partners on an informatics project but she perseveres They actually get on well but he mistakes friendliness for attraction Rebuffed he is devastated and makes dark plans. But when Klara calls to his apartment happenstance progresses his plans. Disaster strikes for Klara though. We then descend into bloody horror and one blunder after another. Literally the darkest of comedies. We know from the beginning of the film that all is not well as Piet is confronted by a private investigator Ketura (Amanda Plummer) hired by Klara's family. Elements of Mr Robot merge with slasher tropes as writer Anna de Paoli and director Linus de Paoli give us a lean (89 minutes duration) mean feature which will have you pondering upon what you've watched long after the final credits roll. 8/10.

Neglect what the storyline and viewing the production of the movie is quite good. Try not to view it as a big production but view from a angle of dark side of a teenage. It's quite horror indeed.

Ok. Well. I don't really now what to say about this. I fast forwarded thru some extremely gruesome parts( not because of) but because the main protagonist is so excruciating to watch and during these scenes even more . Oh and I don't recommend to any rape survivors. I feel this movie was trying to be all artsy with substance but was neither just full of it's self. why not make the characters act with a bit more emotion. Well thinking most did except the main. The script was awful. The ending was even more ridiculous and wasn't even an ending. I'd say skip this.

The movie was well done from certain aspects, mainly the acting. It fell apart in my opinion at the end. This is a guy with meticulous code and workmanship and how he goes about things at the end, just makes it really not very believable. He should have gotten arrested.

One of the best films I've seen for a while. I wouldn't say it's horror. It's a dip into the mind of someone who loses self-control. Well worth a watch.

A very disturbing story. I saw this on horrify, but wouldn't really list it as horror though a part of the film is very gore like. Very well acted and directed. Certainly worth a view.
