Net I Die

A year after a social media influencer livestreams her suicide, several girls tagged in her video meet grisly deaths, one by one. The last survivor desperately tries to piece together what is happening and why, before her turn comes.

This Thai supernatural horror takes a hard swing at cyber-bullying, vanity, narcissistic obsession, the cult of celebrity, and peoples inability to put their ****ing phones down. The message; fame matters more than people. We then see why that's a bad thing - and the ensuing deaths are pretty well done. The problem is that whilst those targeted by the ghost are shallow, self-obsessed airheads, whose lives are ruled by 'likes' and 'follows', the ghost (or who it used to be) comes across as clearly wronged and justifiably upset. I felt more sympathy for her than for her victims - which I don't think was the intention. The inclusion of supposed social media videos makes the order of events a little confusing. And despite a runtime of just 1hr 26min, it drags at times. But the cast do well, and the underlying message is a good one. 6/10.
