I stumbled upon this cyberpunk movie that was called 'Webmaster' in the US. It was also called 'Skyggen' in Denmark, where it was made in 1998. The trailer makes it look like a perfectly bizarre low-budget cyberpunk movie. Honestly, the trailer reminds me a lot of Nirvana with Christopher Lambert in that they both seem to have over-the-top cyberpunk visuals and plot while also being... not good movies.

Anyway, I'd like to watch Webmaster (in english) and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me find some way to watch this movie? I thought it might be posted to youtube under some weird random name but I've had no luck so far. I can't even find any services that would rent it either. But maybe one of you can find it!

Oh, and if anyone cares, here's a synopsis of the movie:

J.B. (Lars Bom) - an ultra-talented Webmaster of an illicit cyber-domain known for massive amounts of illegal money transfers is captured and is put under suspicion by the cyber-domain boss named Stoiss (Jørgen Kiil) when an intruder hacks into the system and steals the Stoiss’s money. Stoiss sticks a heart controller device on J.B. and gives him 35 hours to find who took his money or he dies.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
