A motley group of business students in Berlin, Germany sign up for Takahashi Corp.'s assessment weekend, hoping to land one of the coveted spots with the consulting company. Under the watchful eye of a company psychologist, the team-working and improvisational skills of the aspirants will be put to the test in a survival-type situation. But nothing goes according to plan - the group arrives to find the base camp completely destroyed. Trapped in the woods with no food, no shelter and no way to communicate with the outside world, the real characters of the students come to light, as one by one, they start to lose their heads...

Headhunter: The Assessment Weekend Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Leofwine_draca 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.
Michael Ledo 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.
Michael Maxson 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.
fdiering Just saw the German production „Headhunter – The Assessment Weekend" and was really satisfied with the gritty and humoresque attitude the Kraut director Sebastian Panneck is creating in his homage to the 70ties horror low-budget flicks. The characters are drawn with a sarcastic sense and after a calm beginning the film starts to gather pace. Lots of bloody gruesome deaths are happening to the lost students in the backwoods until the final encounter of the lead figures. The surprising end finishes this cool b-movie with a smacker. A good story telling through the editing is the base for a reliable and sound film experience. The lead actors are American and the performance of all actors is very solid. It seems that most of them are native speakers so the quality of the used language shows not the weakness (sometimes embarrassment) of other European productions with non-English Actors. The ghostly and partly disturbing soundtrack is supporting the dark appearance of the film. On the negative side I have to mention the quality of the colors. The color correction is not showing what HD can achieve today. The double DVD is packed with tons of extras. On some blockbuster DVD's you will not find that much. I very like the crew film that of the actors had captured. Good editing there too. All in all this double DVD is definitely worth the money.
