Already the way the movie started, annoyed me a lot. I am fed up with social media bs, and when I realized this movie is going to include A LOT of it, like talking about it, using it, taking idiotic pictures etc. and rambling on how "my phone has so much dirt on me" (learn to behave like a decent human being, how about that?) not to mention making a big deal about someone not having Snapchat, I felt like watching this was a mistake. Also, movies with hipster-wannabe-but-still-generic-as-f*uck-teenagers, whose priority in life is pretty much their phone, tend to piss me off too. (Watched "It Follows" one time and got a massive headache..) So, wasn't expecting much. I was actually rooting for the bad guys, because they weren't that annoying. So, when the movie ended like it did, I was glad and decided to give an extra point. So 2/10 it is.
... View MoreThe film opens with a teaser of a girl locked in a wooden box meeting her surmise.Jessie (Kirby Bliss Blanton) discovers her boyfriend (Markos Zepeda) is cheating on her. She meets Kim (Rachel DiPillo) as they hit it off and she becomes her new BFF. They opt to go dancing and drag along Jessie's brother Miles (Alex Shaffer) and her new first choice for a boyfriend Logan Barlow (Samuel Larsen). Kim hurriedly leaves the dance as I discover an unadvertised use for a smartphone. Kim gets Jessie's phone in a mix-up. Miles is a techno-weenie and they track the phone with a recovery app (see title). Jessie needs the phone because it has "more dirt on me than anything I know." They end up at the house where we saw the opening teaser where I still have trouble believing a house where people can constantly sneak around unnoticed.This is another capture, fight, and chain film. If you are young and can identify with the on-line social networking and with Jessie, this should make for a great film. For the rest of us, maybe 3 stars. Some humor mixed into the dialogue to keep it from getting dry.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. High School drinking.

This is the type of movie you watch with a group of like minded people and basically you talk the the entire movie about how bad it is, it's not even B movie bad or a cult movie bad, it's just bad. And the actors looked to close in age to be the parents of the so called high school students they almost looked the same age. I still don't get the "we can't get out of the house" smh or the make sure the person that is trying to kill you is either dead or they can't walk etc,and take a weapon and oh yeah the keys so you can unlock the doors and get out of the extremely raggedy house you are in
... View MoreFour teenagers (some of the oldest teenagers in the world) venture into the inner city for a night of fun at a sketchy night club, after one of them goes missing the rest of the group goes looking for their missing friend by using the "Find My phone" app to pin point her whereabouts. Obviously things go wrong and they end up going to a house belonging to psychopaths. It's a very generic set up for a very generic low budget horror movie.So yeah this movie is pretty bad but it isn't just a bad movie, it is also kind of odd as well (not in a good way). The way the characters act is just so off and unrealistic, and it's not the usual kind of dumb things you see in horror movies that are used to further the story or set up a kill, it's just a lot of random actions done by the characters that don't really have anything to do with the story and have no purpose at all. The actors reactions to things were strange as well, it almost felt like some characters were taken out of a Disney sitcom and transferred them into a Horror Movie. The whole pacing of the film was pretty awful as well, it takes about fifty five minutes for anything to really happen, and even then it's just twenty minutes of the main characters running around the house trying to avoid the killers. There are some kills but none of them are anything special, very basic effects and a relatively small amount of gore. As the movie neared it's end I started getting anxious for it to be over because it was just so stale and boring. I knew not to expect much when I decided to watch this movie, however I was still disappointed, it's just another cliché ridden horror movie and we didn't even get a high body count or a bloodbath.
