Socialphobia (2014)
1/10
Loved the concept; bored witless by the execution
19 April 2020
A film about flamers, trolls, online hardmen and the addictive and destructive reality of Twitter - what's not to like?

The film starts out well, quickly leading to an apparent suicide when a gang of idiots go to the home of a keyboard warrior to expose her identity, but unfortunately, the pace quickly drops off and, at the 40 minute mark, it was a real struggle to continue watching - I was that bored!

Nothing much happening 10 minutes later with the two hapless leads playing The Mystery Gang with an intensity that would have seen even the classic, Scoob, get axed, and the message dropped, the team behind the film clearly overlooked one very important side effect of the internet: lower attention spans.

I consequently turned the film off, hence its low rating... which may seem unfair, given that it was competent and I've (somehow) sat through much worse flicks, but anything I can't bring myself to watch in entirety is an automatic 1 by my personal rating system and, honestly, my only advice would be to avoid this snoozer.
