So where to begin?There are a few bully movies out there but this is mostly just about internet bully and only takes place in 1 room.Everything about this movie is just right. Except that i think it was too short. The actress did a very good job in this movie also the way this movie was built is incredibly well made.I don't want to spoil anything really or say too much. I think this movie should be seen by everyone teenager out there. Just to see what could happen if you are not careful out there.

Cyberbully is a surprisingly effective, well-paced thriller considering the small world issues it faces and the small world environment in which it takes place. Within only five minutes, I was hooked. First off the bat, Maisie Williams was startlingly good as Casey, the film's only real actress, and she carries the short film on her young shoulders. She wanes between hysterical and depressed and upset with talent that escapes her more high profile Game of Thrones co- stars. The direction is superb - the film is as taut as a wire for most of its first half.However, where the film's best and worst assets are is in its screenplay. For the first 45 minutes or so, I was captivated by the interplay between Casey and her hacker. Then when he begins goading her into committing suicide, I was taken out of the film and never got back in. Had the film concluded with the hacker being a suicide victim's father, I would have been much happier with it. Instead, it goes on and on, and whilst the conclusion was quite effective, once the hacker's motives became too dark and convoluted, it was hard to remain as engrossed as I was earlier.Overall, Cyberbully is an important film, tackling its subject matter with strength and poise, and is carried by strong direction and an amazing performance from Maisie Williams.

'Cyberbully' is genuinely one of the best short dramas I've seen in channel four in a long time. Knowing that it is based on true stories make it more relatable to audiences of teenagers who are the victims and also speaks to those who ARE the bully whether it be in person or on the web, and this could easily happen to someone one in your school life. It makes you realise that anything posted on the internet can last a life time and that kids should consider and be responsible for what they post or say online as it could end up wreaking someone's life. Maisie Williams who plays Casey, gives an amazing performance as the one off drama is essentially based around her character in her own bedroom, she gives layers to her character and manages to hold her own. She is a rising star for me and will watch more of her work in the future.The most chilling thing for me is that a hacker manages to get in to her computer which is a warning that it could happen to you and makes me think about how easily it could happen of I was ever careless online. I would recommend this to future parents to help them understand he risks and to make sure their children use the internet safely.

I found this TV movie incredible! I wouldn't allow my eyes to gaze off of the screen. This produced high volumes of emotions, to prove how you should be careful when you use the internet, what you say and what you post up, as everything has consequences. Fantastic and solid story line just set in one room throughout the whole viewing. I had to give this excellent masterpiece 10/10 as it is so powerful and sends such and important message to prevent bullying. Does have some use of explicit language but I feel it shouldn't be censored regarding the situation. Although I do feel the ending could have been slightly better; overall I loved it! I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially for schools and parents to learn from to help stop cyber attacks.
