Overview
Nick is excited to discover he’s won a dinner date with his favorite actress, Jill Goddard. But when Jill refuses to honor the contest, he receives an offer he can’t refuse: the ability to view Jill secretly via computer. Nick begins watching the unknowing star on her webcam, not realizing that this decision will put himself and Jill at risk as they enter a terrifying world of cat-and-mouse.

Viewing Notes
Third film of Stanley Film Festival, a Spectrevision production. I was looking forward to this because I love Vigalondo’s Timecrimes, but ultimately I was disappointed. The use of technology is pretty cool, but when that’s what everyone talks about, you know there’s something lacking elsewhere.
Elijah Wood was on hand to introduce the film and do a Q&A afterwards, but we didn’t stick around for it because we needed to get in line quickly for the next film (and Jay had to catch a shuttle to get to the 35mm screening of Eyes Wide Shut).
Also stars Sasha Grey, who even I know despite not watching porn. She’s beautiful and does a decent job here.
My first disappointment of the festival, but that’s ok. You can’t like them all!
