Underrated


Am I the only person who thinks this film is a little underrated? Sure, it's not perfect but it had interesting concepts and was rather intriguing

I agree, I like they made the chatroom a real room(s) , rather than watching someone type

reminded me of the cell (that film depicting someones mind)

Just watched it and was surprised at how underrated it seems to be....for me it caught the crap, sometimes nightmare of life for many differing kinds of teenager but the basic thing is being a teenager in a world that seems to forget what being a teenager is like as soon as those years are past.
Not to forget the impact that parents have (often unwittingly) on their kids.

It could be argued that these teens are completely atypical but in my experience I'm not that sure. And just sometimes those a manipulative nightmare kid can grow into manipulative nightmare adult.

I loved the 'chat room' it's an eye opener and I bet for some less savvy teens the fact that you are centre stage is forgotten in 'chat' being watched by god knows who,god knows why...bit like these boards.....

Good film. Well worth watching. Not your usual teen angst.

Opening track,great.

the director can hardly speak english, he doesn't know what's going on in his movie.

Yeah, definitely underrated. When I first began watching this movie, I thought it was gonna be about nothing more than a bunch of depressed people chatting on the internet...which in a way, it kinda was. But then again, it had a real psychological twist to it. There were a lot of parts that took me by surprise. The ending was kinda intense. Great acting as well.
