Sorry, this movie sucks

A Disappointing Continuation

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This was an absolute crap. Don't get me wrong, Maisie Williams' acting is on point. But wow this script is bad.Now I just want to be a cyberbully for some reason. This movie depicts normal circle-jerking on the internet as cyberbullying and totally missed what it means to "don't feed the troll" (ironic, isn't it). The only good part about it was the ending when she finally closed the computer.I liked the format. Only one character on screen for the most time wasn't that bad, could have been great without the awful story behind it.The movie was slow and the plot forced. I hope I'm the first one to criticize it like that and that an "har-har-cker" will force me to admit my deeds, overdose and get my life destroyed.God, that was awful.

The film seemed low budget, suggested teens are pretty stupid, and it was all based inside one bedroom, and at a worst case scenario the only thing the hacker had against her was naked pics she could have deleted after he posted them or was the director so out of it he didn't realise there's a delete option.Most cyber bullying occurs between class mates anyway, and the main character was a pretty nasty personality. The whole film seemed like a waste of time as both were bad guys. At the end you are supposed to feel sorry for the girl who is pretty nasty (depicted as normal in the film) yet the hacker said she caused a suicide and we don't actually know who the hacker was as the main character guessed its someone born in 84 based on how he types Har Hard (hehe) which is apparently ancient to her yet is actually a very young man in comparison to the director.I don't understand who the movie was portraying as bad or it was just saying its all bad. A waste of 1 hour.Some say its a true story I don't know but for me the film seemed messed up and went nowhere.

As the Internet replaces television as the most influential of all communications media it is with no small sense of irony that a TV play seeks to portray it as the root of all evil. But,as the NRA would have it - "Guns don't kill people;people kill people". And,unfortunately,there are far more evil people lurking in the dark anonymity of the internet than in the mean streets of any city. And the victims,thinking themselves secure in their comfortable bedrooms,are even more vulnerable. Nowadays playground taunts have metamorphosed into full - blown life threatening rants that have caused children to take their own lives. "Cyberbully" tells of one such vulnerable child who is targeted by a so - called troll and badgered to the extent that she takes an overdose of her prescribed medication. It's easy for someone of my generation to be scathing about the dependence of a younger generation on "Facebook","Twitter" and so forth,but I can and do understand that circumstances and peer pressure make up a large part of such dependency,and that the idea of simply turning the machine off and clearing the hard drive would be a bit like destroying a much - loved puppy because it had wet the carpet. The play conveys a sense of social isolation despite the cyber "presence" of the child's friends ;also the claustrophobic effect of hardly ever leaving the one small room except for going to school. "Cave machinem" may have been the intention,but,as ever,man's greatest enemy remains man.

Basically it was an hour and a half of a girl arguing with a computer! I was really disappointing that at the end we never got to find out who her bully was, we never got to see him he was just a machine! I really wanted to know did he know her? Why was he bullying her. What did he look like? Why did he want her to overdose? The only good thing about this show was at the end when she tells him when she stops talking to him hes a nothing then slams her computer off and leaves. The whole thing was really spooky the way she just holed herself up in her room and didn't escape and see her dad when he kept calling her. And I cant believe she took the damn pills and nearly killed herself just because he told her to! Whats more I cant believe she was stupid enough to debate with him for all that time and not just turn the computer off!
