    This is an independent "slasher flick" in which our protagonist is supposed to be "horror savvy", but she is only addicted to horror movies because fear is her kink (the Kinsey institute has confirmed that some humans show heightened arousal when viewing violence before engaging ...( read more)in sexual activity so it's about time a horror plot mentioned this!). The "killer" who emerges from the film to haunt her real life does not look that scary, and this plays out more like an episode of "The Outer Limits" than a feature. Still, it is better than the typical over-budgeted fair that is picked up by monopolizing giants like Landmark and AMC, as it doesn't suffer serious acting problems, and the plot is actually coherent and without gaping holes.

    This movie was not all that bad. The whole thing about people slipping in images to make the viewers do crazy things was a pretty cool twist, but they didn't follow up on that part very well. It would have been more intersting to see who did that to the movie. Or maybe they are m...( read more)aking a sequel.
