Viewing Notes
via Netflix
After winning a date with an actress, Nick is crushed when she cancels. But through a hacker tying into his laptop, there’s a consolation prize: a very intimate peek into her personal life that goes way out of control. This reminded me a lot of the horror film I watched last year, and I know Chris will know the name of it but it escapes me, where the whole film took place through this woman’s laptop and hand camera’s. It’s the same technique here, only it’s nowhere near as effective as the other film was. Sasha Grey and Elijah Wood are ok in this, but it felt lacking in any kind of suspense build-up.
