Nick starts a game in which he realizes that he is only a puppet into the maniacal plans devised by Chord, to hunt down the star.”

Review: (#1-#4) The first four are largely unique designs that employ the computer-oriented design elements that play out in the film’s premise. They are busy designs, but not so distracting as to be offensive. (#5-#7) These interesting, but bland designs pit the film’s three characters against one another at laptop screens. Their minimalist design might work if there weren’t better designs in employment. (#8) This one doesn’t fit very well with the other designs, but it’s interesting enough to pique the curiosity of its viewer.
Trailer: C
Review: The concept of malicious hackers manipulating the lives of people with video cameras is nothing new. Adding in the voyeuristic creepiness of a hapless fan doesn’t spice things up enough to make them interesting.
Oscar Prospects:
None.
