In 2014, Sergeant First Class Stephen Harris edited and uploaded this film. It was his message to the world. A group of teenagers are sent an unlabeled DVD from a U.S. Army base in Afghanistan containing a video of a strange woman tied to a tree. It ends with a clue. The teens follow the clue to another and yet another, until what started out as a game becomes a terrifying chase into the psychopathic mind of Harris. At the end of the line, the teens' world comes full circle as they discover they weren't just playing a game, they were pawns in a revenge plot only a master of war could devise.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
beefburger22 I am not going to review this garbage extensively. Just do yourself a favour, and don't bother. That will be 80 minutes of your life you do not waste. As an actual review is required to be 10 lines minimum apparently, I need to write a little more. Pretty much all of the movie is filmed in hand-held cam mode. The acting is OK from maybe 2 of the cast, and incredibly wooden from the rest. The story is ludicrous. Some kids get sent some footage of a crime, ponder whether or not it is real, and investigate. The realism detector did not budge at all. I like the clichéd suspension of disbelief, but this was just absurd, and unenjoyable. And the payoff to the whole story...predictably weak. Seriously. Don't bother.
