Purely Joyful Movie!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

What's the point? No one knows. Its basically the view of 'a guy' who stalk a girl but like. Only seeing the girl playing,showering,eating,etc. Basically a freaking vlog. What the hell. The ending is just pissed me off even more. There's no explanation what happened to the girl after that. How could we even know? The producer of this movie made with no intentions at all.

Very, very boring. The whole movie is just the stalker's point of view of a girl's life. All you are seeing in this movie is showering, talking, cooking, eating, and that's pretty much it. It basically a 1 hour and 10 minute vlog. I fell asleep through a lot of it. The only adrenaline rush I got was at the end where she's struggling with the stalker. The part that really pissed me off is that we have no idea what happened to Emma. She could've gotten killed, raped, kidnapped, etc. That and the ending was terrible. It's almost as if the director ran out of ideas for the movie and just quickly added that in. This felt like 3 hours of staring into a 23-year-old's everyday life.

I think we may be employing the term "horror" too loosely these days...This movie is, at best, a thriller, and not a good one at that. If you are looking for a movie that scares you or even disturbs your night even a little, look elsewhere. The story here may seem adequate for our times, when young people are ever more interested in sharing their whole lives through their internet profiles, and therefore are liable to forget the risks involved in the practice- for instance, online stalkers. This is the main theme of this movie: online stalking. If it was well developed, this COULD have been interesting to watch. But, unfortunately, thanks probably to budget reasons, the story doesn't go anywhere. There isn't even a decent finale to make you understand who was the guy doing the stalking- the ending is the worst part of the movie, by far. If you watch this, you'll probably feel related to the main character- not much different from any girl addicted to social network that we can find everywhere-but don't even hope to watch a suspenseful or thrilling action film. Prepare to feel dead bored watching the girl doing the most trivial things people do everyday (laundry, cooking, house cleaning, etc) while a mysterious stalker watches her every move. Why? Don't ask me, ask the movie's director, because he didn't bother to tell me.

I rarely bother to write reviews these days. And this movie has had its fair share of negative reviews, but it is one of those situations where I felt so incredibly ripped off by a movie that I hope I can save others the trouble of watching. And I feel honor-bound to bring the rating down.I was about to give this film two stars rather than one only because the premise had the potential to be good, and the cinematography (such as it is) was mostly convincing. Seeing the main character move through her life from the cameras of the various devices in her life was done in a straightforward way. (Though on occasion stretched credulity.) But on second thought, when the film has potential and that the writer/director doesn't even see it? I don't think that deserves credit. So one star it is.Disappointingly, this falls under the category of "found footage." Now don't get my wrong. I have a soft spot for some of the early entries that defined the genre. But it has to be said that "found footage" has one major limitation — inevitably, there can be no survivors. Otherwise, why are we watching the footage? When I started watching this film, I thought, "Well, this is interesting. We have a first-person, found-footage camera style, but in THIS FILM anything can happen, because we're dealing with surveillance rather than found footage. This is a really interesting idea that could go anywhere!" Yeah. Not so much. All that potential quickly goes down the toilet, with an ending that is lazy, derivative, and pointless. And pretty much a repeat of every other found-footage film.What makes this film truly terrible is that there is no story. Nothing. Nada The writer needs to go back to school and learn something about plot. Even the most minimal plot would have made this a film worth watching. Basically, we are handed a setup that never develops into a story, and then ends violently without answers. "Man goes out to buy groceries and gets beat up by an angry drunk," is not a story, it's just a series of events. And that's exactly what this film is.Where is the story? The stalker is no one. Yes, I get that fans of this are saying, "But that's the point! He could be just anyone!" Sure. That's chilling. That's scary. But it's not a story. This is a film, and viewers deserve a story. A motive. Development. Here we get nothing. No idea who he is. No hints. No motive for what he's doing. No personality except that he might be into feet. He may as well be shooting into a crowd. I've seen earthquakes with more personality.The same extends to the protagonist. She is experiencing this for no reason. She doesn't change, except to become more and more (understandably) paranoid. There is no character development whatsoever. She could be anyone. Sure, yes, "She could be me!" But so what? And when the ending comes, there is no tension. No sense that she might escape or things might turn out okay. Just utter helplessness and horror. We don't know if the protagonist is dead or kidnapped. Even the pathetic post-credit inclusion of the police coming in the door fails to address whether or not she's alive. Are we supposed to imagine that there is a sequel in the works? No. The more likely fact is that the writer doesn't understand how a story works, and simply failed to write one. Essentially, the entire film breaks down to an elaborately filmed home invasion, and nothing else. "Random woman might be raped and murdered by random man for no apparent reason." There. I've saved you the trouble of watching.
