Stars: Jamie Blackley, Toby Regbo, Jaime Winstone, Joanne Froggatt, Liz White, Mark Womack | Written by Mike Walden | Directed by Andrew Douglas
Review by Andrew MacArthur of The Peoples Movies
Viewers may initially be taken aback when seeing the credits of upcoming British feature uwantme2killhim? What appears as a low-key thriller actually has some big Hollywood names behind it – including Bryan Singer and Bob and Harvey Weinstein. This should serve an indicator as to the promise that Andrew Douglas’ (2005′s The Amityville Horror) feature shows.
Based on a true story, the film details teenager Mark’s (Jamie Blackley) growing obsession with the world of internet chatrooms and the dark, tragic consequences this ultimately builds up to.
The early stages of the film feature Mark on a chat-room speaking to cyber-girlfriend Rachel (Jaime Winston) who asks the teenager to look out for her “weird” brother John (Toby Regbo) who is bullied at school.
