This film looked great on movie trailers, but as I bought my popcorn and parked my back side on an uncomfortable cinema seat I was quite disappointed.The plot revolves around Jennifer Marsh a single mum and federal agent who works in the cyber crimes department of the FBI. Marsh is given a web address to investigate, and as she delves deeper she discovers a mad man torturing and killing people live on the internet. As more people log on to the site the quicker they are slaughtered.

At first I thought the premise of the story line was a stroke of genius but as I watched the movie the plot became very predictable and the use of the fore echoe I found was corny. The acting is pretty good and I have no complaints about the casting. As we discover who the killer is and his motives, it sends a short sharp shock about the state of society and the influence the internet has had on people of today. It was quite sickening to think people actually get off on this stuff.

The ending was so convenient and slightly cheesy still I thought it was a worthy attempt at a horror movie and it made a change from the predictable Saw saga.
