Imagine yourself in the future, there's overpopulation and 5% of the population has to die annually, well you've got yourself the Thinning.
In the year 2039, earth´s resources are almost gone because of over population. The United Nations declare that all nations must remove there population by 5% annually. Some countries choose to remove there elders or they limit only 2 kids per family, but the United States has a different idea. The United States uses something called the ¨10-241¨ also known as the Thinning. The Thinning is a standardized test that you take annually from first grade to twelfth grade, if you pass you live, if not you get exterminated. This movie follows the story behind Laina, the main character, she is a senior about to take her last test, when she find´s out she fails (which in her case is not possible) she uncovers the secrets that actually true, with the help of her friend, Blake Redding. She must uncover the secrets before she gets exterminated. This suspenseful, thriller movie will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire movie because of the amazing music choices it builds up a lot of suspense and it just makes you wait to know what happens next. The dystopian setting is amazing and bring the movie together. There isn't much difference between now and then (2039) but, it explains why there are less resources, since its in the future.
(SPOILER ALERT)
The part that killed me the most was the cliffhanger ending, because I really wanted to know what happen. In the end, the main male character gets sent to the Thinning to die but finds out that there isn't really death you just have to work underground and you get isolated from the real world. It was a great ending but it was a cliffhanger. I still loved it though because it builds up suspense. Not to worry they are coming out with a sequel though.
