Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It is a performances centric movie

Am I Missing Something?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This movie was the worst "horror" movie, it never gets to the point and you know how some movies have an open ending this movie has no ending, out of nowhere it just ends without you knowing anything!! I'm so disappointed in Ashley Benson for starring in such a dumb and annoying movie. It only has like two characters and it all uses a phone and computer camera!! It seems like a school project not an actual movie.

Alright, I believe most of you are being overly harsh on this one. Admittedly, this film is not something extraordinary, in terms of originality or directing. The same motif has been displayed in other movies as well, in a much better way; in Creep for example.On the other hand, I do not agree that the movie is boring or not worth watching. The randomness of the threat and the lack of motive in violence is an interesting element and, in my view, always disturbing to watch. I think this is what the film wants to underline, that is why you don't get to have an "ending". The fact that you see Emma being involved in very common, everyday things you can relate with, makes you put the nature of the particular threat in a very familiar perspective.Once again, this is a classic concept and it has been portrayed many times in the past in other and obviously better films.

The film tries to hard to portray the dangers of this technological era and though it gets the viewers' attention because the girl is stalked through devices we use 24/7, it ends up focusing so much on it that it leaves out any other potential danger that may help the plot. Actually, there's no real plot nor driving force in the film other than she's stalked through her mobile devices. Not even the sabotage parts give any sort of emotion to the film. The film is just boring. It's not long and yet it feels as if you've been watching it for more than 2 hours. In the end, Ratter tries to be like Paranormal Activity, minus the paranormal part... So it's just "Activity". And just like Paranormal Activity, it tries to have an extra rush in the post-credit scene, but it's so badly done that you wouldn't be missing anything.

I'm a horror addict, any horror, including dumb bad horrors, I love (e.g bloody Mary). But I have a huge love for hand held movies, they make you feel involved, see the film through the actors/actresses eyes.This film, was one of the worst things I have seen. First of all though, I like the idea about RATS, major hackers. But when her phone was ALWAYS hanging out of her handbag, and perfectly aimed at her constantly, the fact she NEVER shuts her laptop down and that it's always in a place to get the full room, the perfect handling so we can see her perfectly, dancing drunk at a nightclub (which we have all done once, and it is blurry lights and shaking like you have parkonsons), it was way to far fetched.Yes, he hacks ALL her devices, but the fact every single device is always perfectly directed at her her is silly. The fact we never see who this hacker is, ever, leaves a bad empty ending which no conclusion, no hints, NOTHING about who he is, why he is doing it (yes some hackers hack stuff to stalk) but this man was an actual psychopath, to the point of killing her cat, who was he?Why was he doing it? was she his first? did he kill her? was he caught? Who the f*** knows, all we know is some dude hacked a woman, kidnapped her, end.The acting wasn't bad though, they really did their parts wonderfully, it was really believable, and it made you feel how scared she was for her life and how paranoid she was about everyone around her. I think the story of the ex BF Alex, was incredibly pointless, we didn't get much but it was a break up, and he an aggressive man, I think, considering he wasn't bad the second time on the phone, but the first he was using the F word like someone drop kicked his mother. Overall, the film COULD of been good, had they done the hacking footage much better, and not far fetched, and if there was any point to what had happened, and even an ending to explain it, we only get that he is nuts and wasn't afraid to show his face (whoever the f* he was) at the end to her mother, how the cops didn't show up in time neither for him to lift her, the dead cat, etc, but considering his face was in the mirror and on the laptop, i can only ASSUME he was caught, probably, who cares, the film was pure and utter s***e Don't watch it, even when it is within your Netflix.
