It starts slow and has little budget but the actors pull it off and there are some quality scares in here. Really good job all around with the visuals as well. You see so many movies like this that just suck but this one clocks in at 68 mins so just hang in for the first 15 or so and then you're off to the races.

I liked the concept especially the idea of it being from a 90s AIM IBM computer period piece. However as intriguing as the concept was it still couldn't make up for the terrible acting and lack of authenticity in the dialogue. "I don't wanna play, I'm logging off" then 1 phone call later of asking without persistent persuasion player 2 is back in camera convinced to play again and all it took was a "I need closure please"? No way. Then when player 2 comes back all of a sudden he wants to be there. No more mention of work. Also I would like to mention that actors nowadays who don't look old enough to have experienced the AIM era themselves couldn't possibly capture the authenticity of the time. In one scene he says something like "it's not voice activated... that would be impossible" almost like he wanted to say "it's 1995 we don't have voice activation yet but we will have it in 2025". It wasn't necessary to put so much emphasis on "it can't be voice activated". Felt like he was trying to convince us that it was 1995. The scenery, software, and hardware already told us what time period it was. No need for convincing. Could've been a 5 or 6 but acting dropped it to a 3 or 4. I gave it 4 because the game did look like something we played at that time.

Anyone who grew up in the late 90s early 00s played some game like this. The nostalgia was real in this film. The ending wasn't great but the vibes alone make it worth the short run time.

I'm usually good with letting every Movie no matter how good or bad play out to the end . . . But this one just hasn't managed to capture my attention.

It's only been playing for 15 minutes, but it's mostly talking . . . And I'm just not that much of a conversationalist. Give me a little Action any day . . .

Or at least something to laugh at . . . Or pretend to be frightened by (Jump Scares just don't make me jump . . . And I'm not much of a reacter either).

I gave this Movie a Middle-of-the-Road Rating of 5 only because I'm not going to finish watching it.

So by all means don't base your decision to watch/not watch solely on my Review . . .

The movie is alright but I'm so sick of language from today being used in movies that are supposed to take place 25 years ago! The use of "same", "ghosted", and "bougie" were never used that way in 1999. Writers these days just need to stop being lazy in their writing.
