This movie is awesome. For a low budget flick i was engaged the entire time. Well paced and well acted and the plot just works. I really enjoyed it. Netflix should pick it up!

The plot is a good one, but I gave it a five-star rating because the acting in this movie is so bad. Not by everyone, but at least half the people in the cast. It was tough to watch at times.

The lead, "Jo," played by Julie Crisante was such a down to earth believable character. She was strong, yet showed her vulnerability which made her character so rich and real. I absolutely love this character because she had this beautiful femininity yet this grit.

The technical aspect of the film was also so enriching and really well-done. The instant messages and the text messages were sometimes hard to keep up with, but that is what made it so believable!!!! This is life as we know it right now & this film captured this very real subject perfectly. I can't wait to watch it again because it was fast moving so really kept you engaged the entire time, yet it is so detailed that you just want to go back and make sure to soak in every single moment.

The supporting characters were so believable, as well! The acting was stellar, the scenery was beautiful, and the camera work, lighting & overall production was very well done.

As someone who has been cyber-stalked, I thought this film was quite realistic. The soundtrack was appropriate and nuanced, there was good attention to detail in the many online exchanges, and the main character was relatable. I thought the theme was pertinent - when you put yourself online as a public figure, there is a natural human repsonse to be dragged down. There are many scenes you have to rewatch to read the full text, or to see a clue in the background. And this is an undeniably beautifully shot film. The movie has a stiff Canadian feel to it, but as a Lifetime Movie fan, I personally like this style.

Admittedly it did have a low budget feel to it, like a lifetime movie. But for a stalker/ obsessive type film it was a pretty good, modern story about cyberstalking. I enjoyed it.
