About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a modern, screen-based horror ride that builds dread around online privacy and stalking; Not for you if you need airtight realism, clear answers, or hate shaky found-footage vibes like in Ghostland.
Pros: creepy online paranoia; tense build-up; some strong acting | Cons: plot holes; uneven pacing; rushed, unclear wrap-up
