Good story
gweesha23 October 2021
The plot is a good one, but I gave it a five-star rating because the acting in this movie is so bad. Not by everyone, but at least half the people in the cast. It was tough to watch at times.

I'm Crushing your head
nogodnomasters13 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Joanne Kelly (Julie Crisante ) is an on-line fitness trainer with about 150 followers. She wants to go big. She breaks up with her cheating high tech boyfriend and suddenly she is hacked with a stalker. Oh who can be? The guy at work who likes her? The competition? The random guy in the car looking at window through a window? This is so hard to figure out.

They made the culprit obvious and did a bad job with head fakes. Made for TV and it shows.

good topic, amateur acting
NijazBaBs6 February 2021
There is nothing wrong with this movie except that it is too amateur. Meaning too shallow, no depth, and unrealistic story details. I could even hear fake setup background noise. Holes in the story, weak expressions, lame, predictable, boring. But simply looking there is nothing bad. Good serious topic which is stalking, cyber stalking, bullying, cyber bullying. Meaning very real topic, and few acts. Actors are not beautiful or interesting as some others but at least they are real and normal. Similar but much worse than movies Friend Request (2016) and Unfriended: Dark Web (2018).

Oh no no Jo.
savanaraef15 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is absolutely terrible. Got to be bots giving this movie a good rating. Firstly, the acting is terrible. We're introduced to so many characters when they've already figured out who the cyber stalker might be 15 minutes in. Jo is a terrible actress and her choices made zero sense. Who puts on HEADPHONES while breaking into someone else's house? Wow, I'm being cyber stalked shortly after my ex and I broke up. I have 0 enemies and a small circle. WHO COULD MY STALKER BE? Oh please. Don't waste your time on this low budget trash.

Please use females in female roles
lori328814 October 2021
It would have been a lot better if the lead character and supporting female characters were not all obvious men. Please use real women in these roles. I realize everyone's doing it, but it's making a lot of movies unwatchable.

Good modern stalker film
clairelouise514 February 2021
Admittedly it did have a low budget feel to it, like a lifetime movie. But for a stalker/ obsessive type film it was a pretty good, modern story about cyberstalking. I enjoyed it.

Good thriller
mjanssens2625 April 2021
Great performances and excellent production values make this thriller easily worth the watch. Some good edge of your seat moments and the film is a bit of a whodunit as well. Very relatable for our social media generation. A fast and fun albeit scary ride. I'm rating this as a Hallmark/Lifetime-style film, not as an Academy Award contender.

Something to watch for the sake of watching
aydinnasirzadeh2 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It was such a decent movie. Dialogs, acting, cast were quite natural. At times I got some documentary vibes. The ending is like a horror movie, i.e., "to be continued" or "you can't have relief" style. If there were more action and a little bit of sci-fi, I would've given it even an 8.

Rad movie
zack_gideon8 April 2021
This movie is awesome. For a low budget flick i was engaged the entire time. Well paced and well acted and the plot just works. I really enjoyed it. Netflix should pick it up!

Follow Closely
dreamlandislakay1 February 2021
As someone who has been cyber-stalked, I thought this film was quite realistic. The soundtrack was appropriate and nuanced, there was good attention to detail in the many online exchanges, and the main character was relatable. I thought the theme was pertinent - when you put yourself online as a public figure, there is a natural human repsonse to be dragged down. There are many scenes you have to rewatch to read the full text, or to see a clue in the background. And this is an undeniably beautifully shot film. The movie has a stiff Canadian feel to it, but as a Lifetime Movie fan, I personally like this style.

Great production value and stellar acting...
lacibug13 December 2021
The lead, "Jo," played by Julie Crisante was such a down to earth believable character. She was strong, yet showed her vulnerability which made her character so rich and real. I absolutely love this character because she had this beautiful femininity yet this grit.

The technical aspect of the film was also so enriching and really well-done. The instant messages and the text messages were sometimes hard to keep up with, but that is what made it so believable!!!! This is life as we know it right now & this film captured this very real subject perfectly. I can't wait to watch it again because it was fast moving so really kept you engaged the entire time, yet it is so detailed that you just want to go back and make sure to soak in every single moment.

The supporting characters were so believable, as well! The acting was stellar, the scenery was beautiful, and the camera work, lighting & overall production was very well done.

Not the same old storyline
juhnfvb10 February 2021
I was intrigued right away with this movie because it was different then the same storylines that continually get repeated. It is also current touches on the dangers of the reach technology can have in the wrong hands. I also found it to be realistic. I like how the movie ended as well. I want to say so much more but I don't want to ruin it for others. I think it was well done! I look forward to future productions! Very talented group of actors, writers and directors!
