Keith (I) (2008)
1/10
Unoriginal and pretentious, a creepy story.

Warning: Spoilers
An unoriginal and overly pretentious story about a popular girl falling for the not popular guy. But with the twist that the guy had set goals to ruin her life.

Nathalie is a hard working student, with good friends, a loving boyfriend, college dreams and a scholarship. All to the dislike of Keith. And the last thing he wants to do before he dies is to ruin it. While stalking her and working his way in to being her lab-partner. He starts by forcing her to spend time with him to keep her grades up. Keith seems, convenient to the plot, to know all her secrets. We later find out he was just messing with her head. Keith's delinquent behavior and lies leads Nathalie in to a downwards spiral that causes her to loose everything she worked so hard for. At the end she has given up everything for him, and he tells her that all he has done was to mess with her life since she had everything he wanted. She continues to pursue him with love, and at the end he tells her that she is the worst thing that happened to him. (This movie sums up the beaten woman syndrome, if a man treats you like crap, then hold on to him and you will eventually make him love you.) Because this is a high-school film, we are led to believe that this behavior is charming and romantic, had this been a movie about adults then Keith would just be a creep.
