A.M.I.

This is the problem with this film. Hard to take it seriously when the lead actor looks like she should picking her daughter up from highschool not attending one. I keep trying to figure out in the beginning if they were in college or what. Then I find out they're supposed to be in highschool?

Corny phone thrillers are my thing. However, she's only supposed to be 17??!!! She's clearly like 30.

I liked the ending and few funny things typical for young people, except bit unreal and extreme. Makes us aware of our obsessions to phone and how they can or can not replace people. Few cool things in form of talk and revenge. Also liked that unlike in most other things that everything looked real (cat, stabbing, burning, blood). But everything else is so unexplained, unfinished, unclear, ignored, without any reason. Meaning bad story, has so much holes that makes us wonder the purpose of all the happenings. Maybe this horror is best suited for younger people or kids who believe in magic and do not ask questions. I liked that movie is about our current problems and technology, so makes it more interesting.

Other than this being a time filler (a movie to watch when you've basically exhausted all the decent horrors on Netflix) I noticed something that bugged me. It wasn't the actors being WAY too old or the other stuff mentioned in reviews. I noticed that every time the video recorded by her 'friend' each time it was played was different to what was recorded first time. I'm a bit of a continuity freak and usually it's laughable but this just added to the overall shoddy feel of the movie, that's before you consider all the other plot holes etc. Just wondering if it's just me that noticed this little goof.

Would only recommend if you're a teenager or out of options and want a thriller and not a good one at that.

It's an interesting story, get on a bus or walk into a coffee shop, and everyone has their heads buried in their phones, somewhat obsessional, this film tries to tap into that idea, and for some bits of the film it does. Let's be clear this isn't a horror, it lacks thrills or scares, it's pretty slow paced. It's well acted, although every single character is pretty loathsome, so there's nobody you can warm to, or empathize with, frankly you won't care less what happens to any of them. It filled a bored hour and a bit, I wouldn't watch it again, but the concept is a decent one. 5/10
