What Happens

Juliette wasn’t invited to go out with her friends tonight. She knows this because she’s watching them party on their social media feeds. She gets a text message from someone with a really weird avatar who wants to have a sleepover. He sends her a photo taken right outside her room…

Commentary

I guess turning on the light never occurs to people in horror films. Neither does calling 911 with the phone right there in your hand.

We’ve seen this kind of thing before with cameras, phones, and stalkers, but it’s well done, shot in interesting ways, and never has time to slow down. It’s nicely done!
