Detail is what seems to be missing from this type of film. If it has the detail then it's so good, but if it doesn't have detail as is the case of this film, I spend my time looking for faults that the writers missed.

When the cop is asked what kind of car was driven and he says I don't remember. My first thought was, "Now what cop misses big details like that?".

Film is just bad. I've seen William Forsythe do a much better job of acting, but given he was following a directors direction with a crap script his lack of performance is understandable.

For the most part Terri Colombino is one of the players that given what she had to work with did a pretty good job. I guess that the biggest disappointment was that the fake land lady never did do a nude scene in the film. I looked like she had the rack to set a world record!

Maybe the worst part of this movie is it isn't so bad as to be unintentionally funny, but it's close.(Charles Durning's psychiatric sessions bring bad acting to a new level). The only suspense in the plot is how some pretty good actors managed to get into this embarrassment of a film. Let's start with William Forsythe, the college professor, who we are suppose to believe much younger attractive women are drawn too. Only in a fat middle aged man's fantasy world could that be true. And this movie. Nothing in this movie is very believable. I feel bad about pointing out just one persons bad acting when there are so many, but Brooke Lewis' performance as the FBI agent is the most frightening thing in the this 'horror' movie. It looks worse next to Tony Todd's performance as her partner who is actually quite good making her look all the worse. The bad plot(you'll know who did it in the first 15 minutes) and acting gets overshadowed by a terrible script. Maybe its a situation where a director falls in love with his own words. Worse dialog you have never heard. Maybe no actor could do a good performance given what they had to work with. So if you are stuck seeing it see it for laughs and maybe you won't feel so bad about wasting two hours of your life.

I'm just going to preface this with, I generally like B movies. I think they're fun and entertaining and I rarely give scores under 4 or 5 as long as there was some effort and/or creativity and the movie is entertaining in some way. This one is just bad though. Honestly, I'm only giving it a 2 for the cast and I will spend the rest of the day wondering how this movie even got half these actors. But otherwise there's just nothing redeemable here, no reason to watch. The story isn't compelling or even vaguely original, the killer is obvious from the second they're introduced, none of the performances or dialogue stands out, cinematography and editing are film student 101 grade, even the score is bad. If it weren't for "Facespace" and a character having a Blackberry, I'd have been convinced the movie was made in 1998 rather than 2008, and actually the movie as a whole reminds me of late night junky Showtime/Cinemax movies of the 80s. Seriously, save yourself the 98mins of absolute boredom.

Imurders uses the popularity of Facebook and other chatting networks as the basis of a murder mystery. Eight members of the site are killed off one by one. Hollywood casting places the usual stereotypes as the victims.

We begin with Sandra Wilson, a yuppie with a mysterious background, and the lead suspect. A professor named Uberoth(did the writer lose a bet?), a scared model, Lindsay(Gabrielle Anwar), a phone sex operator, Meltnurmouth(how creative), and a special effects guy, Mark. The only thing missing is the butler. FBI agents Otis and Lori investigate the case. A decent cast is wasted with a predictable and the characters are wooden. This belongs on the Lifetime Channel. Do not waste your valuable time on Imurders.

A mess, but an interesting one. Deliberately confuses you all the time right until the end, which looks quite cumbersome and unnecessary, because some plot lines seem to be existing just for the sake of it. The motivations are extremely weak, the events make barely any sense. But it also has that 2007-2008 DVD atmosphere (especially with its Facebook clone, chats and and mobile texting) and somewhat engaging to watch. It probably shouldn't work, but it does.

Previously called "Scroll Down" (as revealed in the credits), but seems the name was changed due to the uprising of IPhones of the time.
