Overview
When strangers Jim, Eva, Emily and Mo meet William online in his new ‘Chelsea Teens!’ chatroom, they’re completely seduced by his fast-talking, charismatic character. But beneath the surface lies a much darker truth. William is a dangerous loner, channeling all his energies into cyberspace. He’s become an analyser, a calculating manipulator who finds it almost impossible to interact normally with others in the real world, instead turning his hand to manipulating people online.

Viewing Notes
Another non-Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata and this one is a United Kingdom production. And it stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Daniel Kaluuya, and Imogen Poots among others.
Such an odd film that feels like it should’ve been made in the mid to late nineties. Like, we’re chatrooms still a thing in 2010? If they didn’t have iPhones I might have guessed this was a period flick set during that time.
I know it’s a 2010 release but this dvd traveled back in time to 1999 b/c it’s one of the worst looking DVDs I’ve seen from 2010+ the PQ is awful. The menus are awful. Eesh this could’ve been done better for a 2010+ release.
