Ever think that social media is going to be the death of us? Maybe, but it’s not going anywhere. Aside from the positive aspects of bringing people back into our lives that we would have otherwise lost touch with forever (that’s not always a good thing), it becomes relevant fodder for filmmakers. One of the many things that I love about the horror genre is that any thread of social commentary that runs through with the monsters or the murderers on the surface, gets filtered into its purest form and we see the absolute most extreme impact of what happens with the ordinary when things become extraordinary (usually in a really,...

[Note: With the film finally set for a home entertainment release next week, here's a reposting of my review of Antisocial from its UK debut at last years Frightfest]
It’s often been said that people today wander about the streets in a zombie-like state – with their faces buried in their phones texting their friends, tweeting and checking out who likes what on Facebook – oblivious to the outside world. But what if this reliance on technology, and social networks in particular, became societies downfall? What if the thing we shared online was more than just information? That’s the question posed by Antisocial.
Sitting somewhere between Night of the Living Dead, The Crazies and The Social Network, Antisocial sees five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. What they don’t know is the end really is nigh, as an epidemic has erupted outside and around the world. With nowhere else to turn,...

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Breaking Glass Pictures. **one minor spoiler. Director: Cody Calahan. Writers: Chad Archibald and Cody Calahan. Cast: Michelle Mylett, Cody Ray Thompson, Adam Christie and Ana Alic. This reviewer is familiar with director Chad Archibald, from this work on Neverlost. This feature was a Canadian shot thriller. Archibald's latest is also a Canadian feature, but Antisocial is more horror than thriller. This indie horror feature, at its heart, is a zombie feature. But, Archibald and writer Cody Calahan work in a meta-message, about the perils of social media. Beware the internet! This title also works in some satisfying horror elements. The production on this feature is also well done, despite some of the cast and crew being relative newcomers to film. Overall, Antisocial is a terror filled horror feature, with only a few slow bits. The story for Antisocial begins...

With nowhere else to turn, they barricade themselves indoors with only their phones, laptops, and other tech devices. They use their devices to research the possible cause of this outbreak. Information and video footage over flow their computers as they descend further into the cause and the ensuing chaos. As the virus spreads, the mood in the house changes from fear to paranoia.
