Amy is coping after getting out of a bad relationship when she meets Doug, a seemingly nice (but awkward) fellow who has a lot of similar interests. No, not really, he's just a psycho stalker who has been spying on her! This movie's gimmick is very Blair Witch-y: everything the audience sees is through the lens of hidden cameras, either placed throughout the protagonist's apartment, or hiding in the coat/bag of the antagonist. It's a clever trick, and it works for the first half of the film, but it gets tired once the story gets kicking. Ana Claudia Talancon ("El Crimen de Padre Amaro," "Fast Food Nation") pretty much carries this movie with her brave performance. Colin Hanks doesn't fare as well, but luckily he is mostly behind the camera. The one thing I really don't like about this movie is that it made me feel awkward and embarrassed for every character involved. That seems to be the filmmakers' intention, and they succeed, but who wants to feel awkward and embarrassed for 78 minutes straight?
