The Thinning is set in a dystopian future where population control is dictated by an aptitude test in high school. When two students (Logan Paul and Peyton List) discover the test is all smoke and mirrors hiding a larger conspiracy, they must go against the system to expose it and take it down.

Having a great idea doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a great film. The Thinning has a great premise - states had to introduce a selective sieve to determine which people are truly beneficial for the overcrowded Earth. Those who fail the test are out. Completely. But what if someone changes the results? It's unfortunately shot like a small film, which just doesn't suit it that well.

Definitely an interesting film put together from youtube Vine Star actors which is definitely unusual. The plot is more or less like The Purge but in a school system setting which I found both original and intense. Schoolchildren of all grades write challenging tests every year and after failing the test they are immediately taken away and eliminated, something that definitely had an effect on strong emotions – yes even first grade kids. The main character is played by Logan Paul, a YouTube star and I like him a lot, and here he just proved that he has acting talent in him without a doubt. I’m giving it 4 stars for the nice twist at the end. A decent movie and a nightmare for all school kids. 75%
