Yep, that movie was way ahead of its time.

Was pretty creepy as I recall.

Didn't Collingswood Story do the whole scary video chat thing already? I think that's the one I'm thinking of.

It's absolutely ridiculous that this film has been called the scariest of the decade. As mentioned above, it's basically a low budget version of UNFRIENDED. The short runtime helps, and there are a couple of fairly creepy glimpses of the demon (you have to freeze frame it to get a good look). The cast is mostly annoying and amateurish. It really is unpleasant to watch a zoom gettogether as a film though.

Press release for the UK Blu-ray.

No firm details yet but Second Sight announced that they're giving this a limited edition Blu-ray release in the UK in the new year.

It sucked.

[Lorne Marshall]

It's more or less a super low-fi Unfriended.

That's what I was thinking: the UNFRIENDED movies, THE DEN, or (for the bulk of its running time) CAM.

I saw it a couple weeks ago. It's a decent watch considering it's only an hour long and they made good use of limited resources but I have no idea why it's getting so much hype. It's more or less a super low-fi Unfriended. Nothing I'd recommend going out of your way to see.

I have Shudder as well obviously. I'll be the canary in the mineshaft.

I've been waiting for the wave of Zoom horror. It had to happen. There will be a bunch of them and, to me, that looks like the most predicatable way to have done it. I'm expecting Zoom romantic comedies as well. There will probably be a French 'art' film as well about Granny dying and the whole family gathering by Zoom to hash out old grievances.

I have Shudder and I'd like to be the guinea pig for oyu guys but that's a really unappealing concept for a movie for me.

[Ian Jane]

So I keep reading about how terrifying this movie is.

I don't have Shudder as I don't really feel I need it but is the movie as good as the hype would have us believe?

Anyone here seen it?
