With the benefit of hindsight, I have to chuckle a bit as I remember the tagline that started this film off: "based on actual events reported on social media sites," or some such nonsense. Right. I don't think anything even remotely comparable to what happened in the plot of this movie has ever happened in real life or been reported, making me wonder what the point of starting it that way was. I guess that will have to remain a mystery.And, in fairness, it doesn't detract from the movie's enjoyability. I thought this was a pretty good film to be honest - appropriately creepy to start out with, getting more and more frightening as it went on, and with a decent enough twist at the end. It looks pretty low budget, with a largely unknown (to me at least) cast and a set which would have to be described as minimalistic. Pretty much the whole story takes place on a private jet, so there was no great expense involved in making the sets. The story has four people, who are users of a social media site called "all2together" being rewarded with a trip to New York City on board this jet - the prize apparently having been offered by the site. But the winners are to play a social media game on the way, and they have to agree to play the game to the end. Here's where we see some connections with real life. There's an old saying (or at least a new old saying, since social media, I suppose, is still a fairly recent phenomenon) that whatever goes online stays online - so don't post anything you might regret later. That's a lesson pretty much all of us should learn. Really - how many of us would want everything we've ever posted or watched or visited on the internet to become public knowledge? In truth, I've received angry emails from total strangers who've disagreed with movie reviews I've posted here! I was threatened once (online) by a person who didn't like me commenting on a post he had put on a public discussion board. True enough. The internet can be a strange place! Well, the four winners of our contest learn that lesson very quickly. It seems that everything they've ever posted - and more than that, every website they've ever visited and every video they've ever watched online - is known to, well, whoever it is who's got them on the plane. This is the creepy part. Whoever it is (he's represented on computer monitors as a talking snake, reminiscent of the serpent of the Garden of Eden) knows intimate details about them and uses them to create distrust and even enmity between the players. With the beginning, the story continues to progress to the point at which the consequences involved with not playing the game properly (and, eventually, we discover that there are consequences to playing the game at all) become quite terrifying.There are some credibility issues involved with this. The tormenter of the group knows TOO much about them - things that, to me, wouldn't become known just from a person's online profile or a person's websurfing or webposting history. But that's part of the creepiness. Credible? Perhaps not - but movies like this don't necessarily need credibility. It worked to create an atmosphere, and in the end it does make a point. Back to that new old saying - be careful what you put online, because what goes online stays online. Its pretty good advice. Point taken. (8/10)

With most of the action taking place on the plane I did find this one a little claustrophobic, but then again I guess that might have been intentional. A small budget can't have helped too much either. Decent performances all round, although nobody really stood out, so honourable mentions go to; Scarlett Alice Johnson as Jo, Jack Gordon as Max, Michael Jibson as Dave, Elen Rhys as Gwen and Joshua Richards as Alligator.Although I did find it quite compelling I felt quite detached from the characters. I guess I didn't care about them enough for the film to have any great impact. It's quite well made, given the constraints of the budget; I just felt it didn't quite have enough to make me rave about it. It does flag a little about half way through and I found the ending slightly predictable. Still, it's worth a look if you have a spare 90 minutes or so.SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED.My Score 6.3/10IMDb Score: 5.1/10 (based on 2,504 votes at the time of going to press).MetaScore: No Data: (Based on 0 critic reviews provided by Metacritic.com at the time of going to press).Rotten Tomatoes 'Tomatometer' Score: No Score Yet… (based on 1 reviews counted at the time of going to press).Rotten Tomatoes 'Audience' Score: 28/100 'Liked It' (based on 219 user ratings counted at the time of going to press).You can find an expanded version of this review on my blog: Thoughts of a SteelMonster.

the beginning of the movie is extremely thought-provoking and plays on contemporary concerns about internet privacy, but then it all turns a bit silly and random with all the killing..i could almost tolerate the silly random killing if it wasn't for the TERRIBLE cringe-worthy acting from everyone starting with the plane voice-over/tannoy, and the unrealistic (typical of most Brit horror) script trying to portray shock and fear. i think it would have been way more sinister if the plane voice-over was robotic instead of the judging tone similar to the narrator of 'come dine with me'.i was very disappointed that after the tense 'round 1', instead of getting more cruel and intrusive, the writers ran out of ideas and brought out the killing.

A friend recommended this movie to me and since we both like the thriller genre I decided to give it a go.The movie is a bit like a mix of the B-movie Turbulence (which are so bad that they amuse me), Unbreakable and Saw, and the games Manhunt. The plot is about 4 people that win a competition where the prize is a trip to New York. When they get on the plane all hell breaks loose.Without spoiling anything I can say that there's a game they must play, and the game is made up of what they've done on a social network. The social network is facebook but they've obviously renamed it.The whole plot is far fetched but in a setting where it shouldn't be, the characters are unrealistic and the acting isn't that great in my opinion. I found myself not caring much about what the reason is for whatever happens because the characters weren't believable. Some of it is so stupid that I wish I could tell you without spoiling. I don't recommend it, watch a better movie.
