Very well executed

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Freeman
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

HEADHUNTER is an indie-budgeted mix of horror and thriller genres from Germany. Once again a bunch of potential victims head off into the woods, this time as part of a team building exercise. There are shades of the British film SEVERANCE, a fine black comedy with exactly the same story, but this is nowhere near as good as that movie. Instead it's talky, slow, and goes through the motions. Aside from the odd gore scene it's also devoid of horror.

Takahashi Logistics Corporation (TLC) recruited six college students for an assessment weekend in the woods for consideration for employment. They give us six people you would like to see dead as they can't seem to agree on the simplest ideas. Things don't go right and as you can guess from the DVD cover and there is a body count. You already know the "final girl." I missed the part where Brad and Sarah ate mushrooms or something as I assumed the appearance of the corporate CEO in the middle of the woods was a hallucination. The film didn't make much sense and characters were not great. Part of a 3 film pack with "The Archer." Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The only reason this gets a 2 is because of the two decent looking lead women. I caught this on Netflix one night; and it had a lot of promise; however, the whole "headhunter" theme. A headhunter that's a "head-hunter". But about 30 min. in it gets boring and really never delivers. The headless effects look like something you'd see in a cheap carnival spook house. The lead "headhunter" who was leading the group very unceremoniously gets shot in the foot and lays there like a log instead of trying to lay the crazy guy's woman. Also, the only romantic implication at all between crazy guy and the lead woman is in the beginning where they talk about "sleeping over"(why for love pete didn't they show that???) Also, when the young pretty woman goes down and starts to take her clothes off before getting dragged in... why, why, for the love of all that's decent, didn't she get naked first. Then the ending... what's up with that helicopter? and was the goofy Japanese guy ever really there at all? And she just stabs the crazy guy... doesn't take his head. The goofy head thing I can deal with, but the lack of nudity makes this film not stand and deliver.

There are certain films that we automatically select upon review for screening at Horror UK's 28 Hours Later Film Festival, they have to be of a very high quality.The Assessment is one of these films. We loved it because, put simply, it's a film that you can sit down and watch - and enjoy.It's not the type of horror that you hire so that you can laugh at how bad it is, it has a solid script, great acting and the cinematography works really well.The Assessment is a winner of our 'bloody good film award', which means that it was a good all-rounder.Joe Jenkins (Director, Horror UK)
