incredibly awful
A thought-provoking low budget thriller
I don't understand the low ratings for the movie!! If you give this film 1 star where can you possibly go for utter dross like, oh I don't know Ghost Shark? I just despair...
Yes, it's low budget, but it was a good effort. The plot was pretty clever, and quite unsettling (shines a spotlight on the horrible hypocrisy of America and it's so called Christian values). The acting was decent, particularly from the leads with believable chemistry, if a little hammy at times from the lesser characters.
The nutty doctor had a suitably unnerving quality about her leaving you a touch on edge, and I thought the film built up the tension throughout at a good pace. An abrupt but satisfying ending.
I would have probably gone for a 6.5/10 as a fair rating but bumped it up to try to push this to a more deserving overall rating.
Earper Thumbs Up!
I saw Emily Andreas talking about this film on X and had to check it out. I was happy to find that it starred Emily Goss (Seasons of Love). Loved her in that and loved her in this. Her character was complex to say the least and she was amazing.
The story is a little far fetched but that is the point. No-one is meant to believe that an app could actually control us. It's a metaphor and a clever one at that!
This film would have benefitted from a bigger budget but as an LGBTQ+ watcher I'm used to having to look past lower budget production. I've seen a lot worse and the story kept me invested so I give it an Earper thumbs up!
