After finding a laptop, a man goes online to play a game with five friends. He shows them a folder that plays disturbing videos of people who appear to be in danger. He then receive an anonymous message that tells him they will all die if they disconnect or call the police. The planned night of fun quickly turns deadly as each user becomes the target of something sinister while the others watch helplessly in terror........When a film doesn't warrant a sequel, it instantly smells of of blatant cash-in. So due to very low expectations, and the fact that the film dropped by 85% on its second weekend, I was shocked as to how much I enjoyed this never needed film.What makes the film usurp the original, is the fact that it takes the supernatural element out of the equation, and goes for something with a little more realism.It plays pretty much the same as the original, all from the perspective of technology, and like its predecessor, ups the tension just that little bit more.But whereas the first film was all about revenge and the element of the impact of social network bullying, this could almost be classed as some sort of heist movie, where our main character holds the antagonist at random. And this is his first mistake.The concept is a lot better this time around, focusing on the sort of people who would spend obscene amounts of money to see people get hurt in more bizarre ways.The characters are your perfunctory horror bait, which can be predictable at times, but the ingenious deaths in this are a standout, especially with one character who seems to be the 'outspoken' one in the gang.The reveal at the end is far too clever for a film like this, which gives it a few extra points, but then we have the final scene, which just makes you utter 'move out the way' under your breath.But all in all it's a little gem of a film that deserves to get a little more attention that it should have.If you like Blumhouse, this is one of their better films.

This movie did everything it neeed to do. Had suspense and really good build up. One of the actresses overacts some times and is a little annoying but the movie is great.

This movie, honestly, didn't seem like a winner. Bunch of twenty somethings playing online, something bad happens, slash, slash, bang bang, boring. Almost like the old slasher movies of the 80s. I have to admit, I was wrong! This movie starts out slow, give it a chance. I guarantee you, you will not be disappointed! It builds slowly, but gets crazy, sooner than you think. Like a good movie should.Without giving anything away, watch, learn, remember that this is actually plausible, then realize that this is only a movie. If you like this genre of film, you will love the finale.Ride it out, the pay off is totally worth it!And remember, Norah C sent you!PS. One

While it holds the same sort of premise as the first with the whole computer screen view it is not like the first movie. The first one kind of sucked with all the super natural stuff going on in it. This one was more grounded in realism which helps it a lot and distinguishes it from the first one. Don't expect a magical experience that you'll walk away from thinking you have to see this again but you can expect to go away from it with a thought that this movie was not that bad at all. Kind of interesting and it might be worth watching a second time just to try to catch any minor small details you might have missed watching it the first time. Ir sort of creates that affirmation that the dark web is rather dark and not something to tread lightly in.So if you're looking for a movie that's not exactly horror but more thriller with some dark overtones and can spare about an hour and a half then this is the one to catch.
