A group of friends enter an online chat. They discover that they're being haunted by their past sins through a stranger using a deceased friend's account.
This film was directed by Levan Gabriadze (Leo Gabriadze). This film brings a new style of found footage filmmaking to America. Watching a horror film through online interaction is not new, but it does offer something different to the genre. It can become tiring, because everything is told through browser multitasking and reading computer text while listening to off screen chatter. The story is centered around revenge against "cyber" bulling, and the effects it has. I enjoyed the slow reveal of the character's past transgressions. It was also intriguing that none of the characters are likable-even the villain. Which also kind of hinders it. The story is decent at building suspense. There are segments of horror, but nothing too gory. Unfortunately, the moments are too brief to be truly frightening. There are plans for a future sequel to come out next year. Since so much of this film's story is told through web browsing there is a very limited time for the actor's to perform on screen. Shelley Hennig played the role of Blaire Lily. From the few moments she was on screen, she was good at generating panic.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a decent horror/thriller film that offer some changes to the supernatural teen slasher films.
This film can be seen on DVD.
