Ratter

One of the reasons I explore the out of the way places when it comes to film. Low budget and shot mostly on webcams, this movie evokes a sense of dread and horror without showing a drop of blood. The moral, if there is one, says that danger in the 21st century no longer needs mass or form.

Emma is surrounded by the technology that slowly becomes a menace to her as a stalker takes over her devices and the devices of others. A nameless presence oozes through the movie with no clear indication of who or why - it's just nameless malice floating through the same ether as the wireless signals that connect her. As such, it's filmed entirely on hand-held, cell phone and webcam. While this gets annoying at times, the filmmakers break up with some nice editing moves. The performances are solid and engaging. The stark, brutal ending horrified me with its unspoken implications.

(BTW - to the person who trashed this, insisting that the rating was inflated, I didn't even know this film existed. If you didn't like it (and I'm betting the lack of nudity and gore played a part in that) that's fine. But don't be a dick.)

I honestly don't know if I should recommend this movie. On the one hand, it is interesting precisely from the "I'm following you through devices" side, it keeps you in suspense. The plot develops interestingly, I would like to find out who it is, why he does it, even if he was just interested in watching over random girls, etc. But nuh, film just ended it

Well, the ending was very disappointing, simply because they didn't explain anything, and the end was very smeared and ugly. There are many films about stalking on the Internet, many of them are beautifully designed, have their own beginning and end. And in this film, the stalker just appears out of nowhere, does unreasonable actions, and disappears into nowhere.

If you like the genre, it's better to spend time on "Megan is missing", "Unfriended" or something of that format.

I do not give a bad rating because most of the film was interestingly played, and the presence effect made itself felt, but I will not be able to give such a film a high rating.

Ashley Benson is beautiful. Now obviously that lies in the eye of the beholder, but most people will agree with this statement, so this is not really news. The movie itself is not really news either though and if you already disagree with the previous statement, then there's almost nothing left for you to watch (literally).

I'm not saying that the movie isn't good at all, what I am saying, is that the premise is far from new and it has been done better, though I don't expect there to be a masterpiece anytime soon. Whatever the case may be and whatever you may think of the "intentions" of the evil person in this or the premise itself: It's not really something that is sustainable for a feature length. Not with a script like that ... no matter how beautiful the main actress is

Potentially a good film spoiled by having no end.

I have seen thousands of films the last 35 years, but it seems that today film makers are less and less bothered about a good ending. The acting was OK in it, actually deserves a 7, the location looked OK, another 7, The story line and subject was fine, 7 again, but I guess the film maker had no money left over for a normal ending. And that makes it worth a 1. You wouldn't by a car without engine, or a house without a roof, would you? Even an empty bread bag would not pass a till.

I couldn't have cared if she would survived, got killed, turned into a privacy activist or what ever, but pls pls pls, give films an ending.

As from 2010, the difference in a good film or a bad film seems to focus on the end of the story. Imagine: The Green Mile without the end scene between two older people, The sixth sense without explaining at the end that the guy actually was dead all the film long, The Hunger Games missing part 4? That's what the "ratter" is about. Quick and cheap productions without an end... Thanks.

All of the low reviews for this movie are most likely bandwagoners who want to seem cool and knock this film because it's a low budget. Indie film and doesn't have a lot of action. This is a PSYCHOLOGICAL movie and mind you, very creepy. It plays on a lot of our's worst fear, an intruder in our home, especially at night while we are sleeping. Or someone watching our every move. Ashley Benson also does a great job with her realistic portrayal of a girl who's just moved to another state to live on her own and doing some questionable and/or embarrassing things while alone, thinking no one is watching. And the ending, holy crap, I got chills all over my body, its so unexpected and scary and seems so real. This isn't nearly the best movie I've ever seen but I was glued to the screen, and I'm not afraid to say that, because they brought the creep factor and I was definitely paranoid after watching. If you scroll down you can see a lot of people rate this movie really well, before all these low ratings of "1" grouped together following each other like sheep. Come on, be realistic, this movie deserves much more than a 1. That is beyond exaggeration. I think if you like thrillers like this, you'll be in for a treat!
