An outstanding performance by Maisie Williams (I don't know her from Game of Thrones but if she's as good on that as she is here it must be worth watching).

She singlehandedly carries a one hour drama about cyber bullying drawn from real world examples.

It dramatically personifies the impact of trolling in teenage circles and turns Maisie's own trolling on its head through the use of a hacker who communicates directly with her in her bedroom and plays the role of a modern St Peter at the pearly gates holding a mirror up to her misdemeanours.

The film has many twists and turns and can never be predicted. It's a tough role for a young actor to carry off but she succeeds with flying colours.

The lessons are clear and powerful. That's why it should be shown in social education classes to demonstrate the extremes that trolling can get to.

'Cyberbully'is about a teenage girl Casey (played by Maisie Williams) who has her life revolving around social media which later comes back to bite her. The program had a good build up but unfortunately, I was not satisfied at the end as I didn't see the way Maisie's new mindset.

This was a really good show which should be watched by many teenagers and young adults who use social media frequently.

A low budget film but very well executed. I am not of the virtual generation but whether or not this film is accurate ( and the degree of hacking seems unlikely ) it is a well illustrated fable of our modern age dealing with an issue that is becoming more prevalent. It is very difficult for all of us to understand that what we do online is a real and that we should be prepared to take responsibility for what we do. Our online activities maybe pursued in the virtual world but the consequences of those actions will be played out in real time, by real people with real results. Perhaps it is time to stop calling it "cyberspace" or " virtual reality" as it seems to be the place that many people spend a lot of time in. The film has the feel of a stage play, written by some-one who wants to bring an issue to life. And I think they have succeeded, well done to all involved.

This short drama was promoted mainly off the attraction of Maisie Williams (she of Game of Thrones fame) and it was the reason I came to it. I wasn't sure quite what the plot was, beyond the title laying out the subject area, and it was a nice surprise to find that it was several things, and because of this, they all worked pretty well. On the face of it we have a drama where two characters communicate across a computer – one of whom we do not see, the other being the main character Casey. This starts slowly, and at first I was struggling with watching characters type to one another, but it got better once the text became voice chat, and the plot started to unfold.

Although it has issues that are not really resolved and did bug me a little, mostly the plot works. The elements where I felt I was just being asked to "go with it" were not always perfect, but it is the movement of the viewer within the plot that makes it engaging. Our sympathies change around slightly through the hour – not really twists and turns as such, but it does move well. This working allows the drama to do something else – which is to be a social message too, but to be one in a way that works and doesn't have people turning off because they feel like they are being preached at. It is a fine line at times, but mostly it manages to stay on the right side of it to produce a topical drama which stands as a cautionary tale that makes one thing about the issues.

The drama keeps it from being too heavy handed, and shifting the viewer round encourages thought – not only of the drama, but of the subjects, which in turn then helps the social message aspect hit home more effectively. I am old enough not to have had to deal with the internet while at school, but I do feel for those who are born into that because it is so easy to have anonymous people tear at you for the sake of it; people like to label others trolls, but as with this drama, often just the culture of cruel comments and sarcasm from "regular" people is just as damaging.

The cast is limited to a handful of people, with Williams being the only person really in it for longer than a few scenes – indeed I don't think she is ever really off the screen since the whole film is in real time and plays out entirely in her bedroom. She is excellent; delivering a lot with her face and really getting into her character – it is not easy to hold the film up in this way, particularly when you are alone and acting at a computer screen, but she does it very well and contributes to making the plot work by virtue of her character. Of the others it is worth mentioning Haruka Abe. Although she only has a few scenes in videos online, she convinces at being cheerful and likable, while also being naïve, but more importantly she sells the change in her pretty well without over playing it; it is a small role but an important one and she does it well.

Cyberbully isn't perfect as a drama, but it works better than I expected and moves the viewer around nicely as well as being reasonably gripping. The social aspect benefits from this, as it delivers a thoughtful cautionary tale and advice, but avoids being preachy or alienating – which is a difficult thing to do, so kudos to it for that.

This movie is a proof that you can make a good film with minimal means - what is important is the right idea, good script, good actress. The audience creates suspense in their heads. This suspense thriller was more interesting than many movies with lots of actors and special effects and fancy sets that I have seen. I think it was because the psychological suspense and protagonists duel with unknown antagonist was so well created. And Maisie Williams did a very good job carrying the movie all by herself. I remember there was once a film with similar idea, phone booth, with Colin Farrell in the main role - but I liked this film much more. And the film had some good messages too.

This was a brilliant bit of TV, that should be shown in EVERY school around the country!!

Plot In A Paragraph: Casey (A brilliant Maisie Williams) is targeted by an online hacker, who begins to torture her, by threatening to post 5 topless photos online that she sent to her ex boyfriend, if she does not do exactly as she says.

If I was impressed with Maisie Williams in Games Of Thrones (and she is one of my favourites) then she blew me away here. She carries the weight of this full movie on her tiny shoulders. She is the only one on screen for about over 90% over this movie, and she does a brilliant job!! Which is even more impressive when you consider how old Williams is. I hope she wins some type of award for this, as she certainly deserves it.

It is intense, gut wrenching, harrowing and utterly compelling!! I could not stop watching from the minute it started.

Taking real life situations and stories, the creators of this one episode drama are geniuses in their work, using emotive languages and even pictures to show how shady the world of the internet can truly be. The main characters actor, Masie Williams, is showing off her true ability and proving, as if anyone would doubt, that she can do much more than just Game of Thrones, with an amazing performance were she superbly expresses the guilt that a person in her position would feel.. It instills a light sense of fear and thrill throughout as the danger is always present and intimidating. It achieves it's goal of also teaching the general public on what they shouldn't do online well. Cyberbully uses the interesting technique of staying in only one place the entire duration, this, as many movies before it have shown, can be tricky and risks getting boring if it isn't executed well, which this certainly was., managing to keep my early attention lasting until the very end. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a thought provoking drama.

A Teenager gets hacked and extorted by a stranger via her own computer. Now she has to cope with his moods and prevent her own calumny.

This short film started accidentally after another YouTube-Video I watched about the issue of cyperbullying. Right since the first second I simply could not stop watching this movie. The tension, the setting, the music, and especially Maisie Williams impressing acting skills got my eyes glued to the screen from beginning to end. It was so enthralling!!! I have never experienced something like that before. Just watch it and not only get an original view on cyberbullying but also one hour of pure suspense.

See, indie movies fall under two categories: artsy, preachy, and empty or interesting, cool and fulfilling. Cyberbully is under the second category. See the reason is because this movie actually understands the issue its addressing unlike the other Cyberbullying movie that I can't stand, and not only that but the entire movie is set inside one room, with one actress: Maisie Williams, who gives a fantastic performance! Gripping, interesting, and an overall good film, and best of all shines a good light on its issue. Its a shame Ms Williams is not in more films because she is a great actress, especially here. In this movie, she talks to a computer program for most of it, and its a very impressive performance. So watch it, but you need to be mature to watch it, a boat ton of cursing lies ahead, but also a well written script.

The movie tried to explain the cybercrimes of modern times, the psychology of the criminals and the victims, the damage they did. Although the film was actually in a single room, he was able to give us the message he wanted to tell us. found it a bit childish and inadequate. nevertheless, I love the fact that such films are available and give a different perspective. watch if you're the one who doesn't get bored of single-shot movies.

'Cyberbully' is genuinely one of the best short dramas I've seen in channel four in a long time.

Knowing that it is based on true stories make it more relatable to audiences of teenagers who are the victims and also speaks to those who ARE the bully whether it be in person or on the web, and this could easily happen to someone one in your school life. It makes you realise that anything posted on the internet can last a life time and that kids should consider and be responsible for what they post or say online as it could end up wreaking someone's life.

Maisie Williams who plays Casey, gives an amazing performance as the one off drama is essentially based around her character in her own bedroom, she gives layers to her character and manages to hold her own. She is a rising star for me and will watch more of her work in the future.

The most chilling thing for me is that a hacker manages to get in to her computer which is a warning that it could happen to you and makes me think about how easily it could happen of I was ever careless online. I would recommend this to future parents to help them understand he risks and to make sure their children use the internet safely.

This movie was like Locke and 12 Angry Men in the sense that it was filmed in one location throughout the entirety of the movie. The dialogue and performance was what sustained the brilliance of the chilling plot. The acting by Maisie Williams was very real and it just completely engaged me in the storyline from the first scene. The fact that the hacker's identity is made unclear makes the villain unique and very sinister. What I also like about it is that the location that takes place is very innocent because it takes place in a teenage girls room, however you are still left on edge for every second that goes on. As the story goes on the girls life begins to crumble and spiral into a disaster she cannot escape from. Brilliant, Exciting, Original and thrilling, all I can say is... Watch the movie!!!

I found this TV movie incredible! I wouldn't allow my eyes to gaze off of the screen. This produced high volumes of emotions, to prove how you should be careful when you use the internet, what you say and what you post up, as everything has consequences.

Fantastic and solid story line just set in one room throughout the whole viewing. I had to give this excellent masterpiece 10/10 as it is so powerful and sends such and important message to prevent bullying.

Does have some use of explicit language but I feel it shouldn't be censored regarding the situation.

Although I do feel the ending could have been slightly better; overall I loved it! I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially for schools and parents to learn from to help stop cyber attacks.

So where to begin?

There are a few bully movies out there but this is mostly just about internet bully and only takes place in 1 room.

Everything about this movie is just right. Except that i think it was too short.

The actress did a very good job in this movie also the way this movie was built is incredibly well made.

I don't want to spoil anything really or say too much. I think this movie should be seen by everyone teenager out there.

Just to see what could happen if you are not careful out there.
