THE LAST EMPLOYEE

Der letzte Angestellte

Directed by Alexander Adolph
Germany, 2010
Horror

Synopsis

Laywer David Bottcher, (Christian Berkel) after a year long absence has been hired by a new firm, to act as its liquidator, as the company is deemed unprofitable. After being out of work a year himself, this is not something he takes lightly, and doesn’t particularly relish it.

Our take

A horror film set in the recognizable here-and-now, this contemporary ghost story recontextualises the classic Gothic. Director Alexander Adolph uses the financial downturn as a unique backdrop to give this tale of guilt a palpable atmosphere of unease.
