I was genuinely scared at a few of the scenes in this film, and I don't scare easily. The premise is an interesting one, creepy to the max. We all spend too much time on our devices. There is no substitute for real relationships. The characters are flawed, just like real life, and the film does have some unexpected twists.

The story does build slowly, and those who want instant gratification may become a little bored. True dramatic tension comes from knowing (and seeing!) what's coming, and being horrified by it. There are a few jump scares, but they are earned.

I went in expecting mediocrity based on the IMDB rating, but it's better than 5.7/10.

Well produced and shot, but why didn't the writers make the characters smarter? Just because you're a genius surgeon doesn't necessarily mean you know how to successfully have an affair. Here are some handy tips:

• Turn off text message notifications. It only serves as a way to alert your spouse that something's up. Same goes for taking calls at strange times of the day or in important meetings/events.

• Don't stare off into space like you've been dealt the worst news possible. Your spouse will ask if everything's okay and you'll have to lie.

• Avoid lying if you're not good at it.

• Don't let your phone ring until a coworker notices and asks you to answer it.

• Don't take calls from your lover in the presence of other people. One side of a conversation can still speak volumes.

It's like the main character skipped the class on "discretion."
