It's like a fourth horror movie that involves web chat or social chat/gathering online, ending up in murders. Nothing new.That said, in the beginning, I had some hope and the movie wasn't exactly awfully produced with awful acting working in its favor. BUT, it goes downhill the moment director starts introducing the wonders of hacking taking over everything in protagonist's life. Even the cops can't track these amazing hackers (yes, the same agencies like NSA, tapped into our computers can't track down hackers killing people).Apart from Hollywood hacking, you lose all interest in the killers who are shown in full view wearing generic masks trying to look scary while killing in some of THE most mundane manner. I've seen more horrifying deaths on Liveleak.Overall, movie didn't do anything new and failed to bring something new to the genre of "social chat turning into murder", which is already stale after like 3-4 movies.I am giving it 3 cause the protagonist isn't a bad actress and did her job most of the time, convincingly.Also, I was going to watch Allied, no idea why I decided to watch a boring "horror" movie instead. I regret everything.

Now going into this I may be a little biased as I like found footage horror movies (as long as they aren't like Paranormal activity and such) and I find stuff related to internet stalking and the deep web EXTREMELY creepy. I found this movie to be quite terrifying and eerie. The way it begins sets it up seeming fairly innocent while fitting in the normal stuff you'd expect going through anonymous video chats, however it soon becomes much creepier. Don't read after this if you don't want spoilers.One of the few things that utterly terrified me about this movie is how it began with a single killer, then transitioned to show another with him. It felt very natural and creepy. However I was caught off guard when they begin showing that its not just 2 but 10+ people possibly even more into the hundreds who were doing this internet stalking and murdering. I did not expect this at all but it was completely believable and very smart in my opinion. I was also completely surprised by the ending, after watching lots of movies where someone lives to tell the tale, or the female main character beats the bad guys down (which I do love). I was not at all expecting everyone to die and for the guys to continue on. It completely terrified me as its not always common in horror movies as there seems to be a thing in horror movies since the very beginning that evil must be vanquished, so it was refreshing to see a change. And the kid walking in on his Dad paying to watch people die was just completely uncomfortable. For hours after watching I felt very untrustworthy of everyone around me and very uncomfortable at the thought that someone I love could be paying to watch these things.Overall it is a great movie. A little too torture porn-y at times and too much blood and gore for my taste but still overall a great movie, definitely worth a watch.

Bought this today in a second hand store, as it was a relatively new movie only a couple of years old and it was only £2 I wasn't expecting much. I was expecting to enjoy it very much as the Internet and social media is a hobby of mine and I am well versed on the goings on in the 'deep web', but this movie was pants! Some dumb American girl films people online without their permission and sooner or later she's in more trouble than she can handle. She knows that some Indian guy asking to transfer $14million into your account and give you a $1million for doing it is a scam but she's not smart enough NOT to open an email attachment from a stranger, really!? I might watch it again, or I might try and sell the DVD back to Cex. More than likely it is one of those DVDs I'll only get a penny for selling.

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected to. For some time I have been searching for a well executed Thriller/Slasher film utilizing the dark underbelly of the internet as a key factor in the plot. In many ways this movie is what I hoped Untraceable would be like, despite the fact that this movie appears to be much more under-rated.The acting is pretty good and the fact that a large proportion of the movie is shot as if watching it on a computer screen really adds an interesting dynamic and adds to the overall immersive feel of the movie.Definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of this sub-genre of thriller.
