Using the webcam approach to tell a story has a lot of
problems but somehow Zachary Donohue pulls it off and makes a really
frightening experience. Melanie Papalia
portrays a grad student working on a thesis where she explores the world of
social media. How connected can she become with strangers
and what does this new platform say about our society and the future. Basically an innocent study that turns into a
nightmare when she stumbles upon a murderer who begins to stalk her and all her
loved ones. This is a tense little
movie and if you’re willing to stretch your disbelief a tad you’ll find
yourself pulled in and very much entertained.
Papalia is fantastic as the heroin and that’s saying a lot since she’s
on screen pretty much ninety-five percent of the time. I also love what this film says about our
voyeuristic society and the dangers of opening ourselves up to such a dark
cyber world. Grade: A-
