This is one of those films where you do see the directors intention to make a sort of low key teen drama spiced with a bit of horror, yet it comes across rather dull.
The leading lady is quite talented and elevates the very thin script. Too bad it's all for nothing.
I get that it's all about isolation with technology, yet nothing is interesting about this. It's a sort of matter of fact scenario presented in such a lackluster way.
There are no stakes nor consequences for anything that happens. It's simply window dressing of a potentially decent film.
Even with familiar cliches. This would've been an ok slow burn found footage style.
This whole movie is a complete bait and switch I'm afraid.
The worlds fair challenge plays upon the various creepy pasta stories and fake scare challenges on YouTube that many They set it up like the Ring where if you watched a cursed video. You will die. In this case. You will transform into a manifestation of some fear sub consciously.
I liked the little montage of videos all about people A cool body horror segment is shown as well. But of course. Nothing but a tease.
Not one thing comes out in the end as real. We get a marvelous take when she makes a video where her face transforms into something ghastly, nope, sorry not at all
The first Skype call with an online viewer is something you'd see in any urban legend/cursed movie. JBL is the guy trying to warn her. It's creepy though. Hes close to 50. Another angle could be that he really is a creeper and uses the urban legend to entrap her and try to get her.
Once again. Nope.
I'd continue. But I don't want to take up any more of your time. I'd advise to skip.
Would've been alright as a short film. Under 25 min.
Shame really wanted to like this.
