I'd been waiting ages to watch this but wish I hadn't!! No proper ending. Can't fault the camera work since its meant to be done that way even though I hate it. What happened to Michael? What happened to Emma? Where was the friend who was meant to be coming round and staying with her? What was the point of the movie other than showing some messed up guy stalking a girl in new York? Seriously what was the point of this movie!! Rant over.
shareTo me, I think its just the same point thats with all the vast array of similar films that are out there(and IMO, will only continue to be put out there for some time to come). Simply to show the "horrors" of which modern technology now easily allows to nearly anyone who has access to the internet.
I mean its true that in this day and age it is EXTREMELY easy to go about doing exactly what was done in this movie(and again, in the multitude of similar movies), where we see someone with a predatory nature using today's modern technology to their advantage in stalking their prey. To me, its as simple as that..is it an "original" plot for a movie? No.. is it an effective plot for a movie? Maybe, its all really just a matter of opinion, and preference.. but, obviously the more times its used as the subject matter for films, the more tedious, boring, and repetitive the films become.. its just the way it goes, and, IMO, its really the way its always gone, especially in speaking of the horror/thriller genre of movies..there's only so many storylines and plotpoints that can actually be considered "original", and from those there will always be a never-ending-supply of knock-off-copy-cat-flicks to follow.
I haven't seen it yet (about to), but sounds like it will be like watching Girl House (which I loved) and Unfriended (which was ok) at the same time.
shareIt reminded me of Girl House, The Den and Creep, more than anything. There's no supernatural elements to this film, that's why it doesn't remind me unfriended as much.. If you want to kill an hour, definitely check this out. If you haven't seen the Den, that's A must watch
shareGirlHouse is far better, partly because it's actually mostly filmed like a real movie. I wish it would get a sequel.
shareThere was no point! Had to give it a 1 seeing as there's no 0 option.
shareIf you think everything has to have some "point" that fits you, your bad teachers won.
