Detail is what seems to be missing from this type of film. If it has the detail then it's so good, but if it doesn't have detail as is the case of this film, I spend my time looking for faults that the writers missed.

When the cop is asked what kind of car was driven and he says I don't remember. My first thought was, "Now what cop misses big details like that?".

Film is just bad. I've seen William Forsythe do a much better job of acting, but given he was following a directors direction with a crap script his lack of performance is understandable.

For the most part Terri Colombino is one of the players that given what she had to work with did a pretty good job. I guess that the biggest disappointment was that the fake land lady never did do a nude scene in the film. I looked like she had the rack to set a world record!

I saw the cast list and that really was the main draw to this film.

I think it is definitely the script which lets this film down badly There are three plots in this film. While one sub-plot certainly did a nice job of setting up a red herring and lots of soft-core T&A, the third plot was off on its own little island with almost no connection to the events in the main plot. It only slowed the film right down and destroyed any tension being built up in the main plot. The main plot itself was not very original done but if more of the film was spent with it would definitely have been a better film to watch Many scenes appeared to have no connection to any part of the story at all. Most of the acting was competent but the male lead while pretty enough was just not very convincing. While Forsythe certainly acted better and got more screen time unfortunately this was all part of the irrelevant sub-plot. Actually both leads were boring sketches of characters and the more interesting supporting cast were all sidelined in favour of the nice, young, white couple. Perhaps this film did make more sense at one time but someone butchered it

A mess, but an interesting one. Deliberately confuses you all the time right until the end, which looks quite cumbersome and unnecessary, because some plot lines seem to be existing just for the sake of it. The motivations are extremely weak, the events make barely any sense. But it also has that 2007-2008 DVD atmosphere (especially with its Facebook clone, chats and and mobile texting) and somewhat engaging to watch. It probably shouldn't work, but it does.

Previously called "Scroll Down" (as revealed in the credits), but seems the name was changed due to the uprising of IPhones of the time.

I'm just going to preface this with, I generally like B movies. I think they're fun and entertaining and I rarely give scores under 4 or 5 as long as there was some effort and/or creativity and the movie is entertaining in some way. This one is just bad though. Honestly, I'm only giving it a 2 for the cast and I will spend the rest of the day wondering how this movie even got half these actors. But otherwise there's just nothing redeemable here, no reason to watch. The story isn't compelling or even vaguely original, the killer is obvious from the second they're introduced, none of the performances or dialogue stands out, cinematography and editing are film student 101 grade, even the score is bad. If it weren't for "Facespace" and a character having a Blackberry, I'd have been convinced the movie was made in 1998 rather than 2008, and actually the movie as a whole reminds me of late night junky Showtime/Cinemax movies of the 80s. Seriously, save yourself the 98mins of absolute boredom.

You know what? This is pretty incompetent in a few ways, but the incompetence works for it.

This is a murder mystery of the old school. You are introduced to characters. Murders are being committed. Clues are placed around. Many suspects and many motives are given.

There is a chatroom angle, but that does not matter. There is a horror genre angle, but that does not matter either.

What matters is that you really are allowed to be the detective. There are none of the detective genre devices that you expect to find. The situation is very chaotic, more nonsensical than the conventions allow. That's what makes it work. Yes, you are a bit surprised at the end. But they play fair, and in the denouement, you have the film flashbacks to attest that the solution was under your nose.

The production values are pretty bad. And the lines are profoundly juvenile. But the mystery itself: cool stuff.
