Thoughts;

This is a “found” footage type movie, but it has a different concept. The entire movie is filmed as if you are watching an actual web cam. It was slow going and a little creepy. It’s one of those movies where you have no idea who is behind it.

Things I found that couldn’t happen; At one point the computer is wiped out in a matter of seconds by a would be hacker, this would take some time as this was the hard drive and not just the computer.

The apartment or house where the boyfriend lives is cleaned out, except for his computer. This would also take time and not something that would be able to be done within the time frame this movie made it feel like.

And, I hate when you have no idea who was behind this, I am good with not being able to figure it out by the end, and then surprise! But to not know, is bothersome and not something I like in movies
