Viewing Notes

Clever thriller that unfolds completely from a computer / phone screen. Second film today that deals with cancer. Great mystery that not only has Asian American main cast but makes the conceit convincing. Not a pure found footage flick but in that same vein as Unfriended (also same production house). Moves into a Lifetime flick towards the end but doesn’t take away the brilliance of how it got there.
