Genre HORROR
Theme Cyber Thriller · Ghosts
Style Screenlife
Director: Levan Gabriadze · Cast: Shelley Hennig, Heather Sossaman, Renee Olstead, Matthew Bohrer
The Story
Six friends on a group video call get an uninvited guest: an account belonging to a classmate who took her own life exactly a year earlier. It knows things about them nobody else could.
Verdict
The screenlife format genuinely works here, and I found it pretty scary and creepy in a way a lot of found footage doesn’t manage. What makes it also stick is the cyberbullying angle underneath the horror — the characters’ cruelty toward each other feels uncomfortably real, not just plot convenience, and that gives the scares an extra layer most ghost stories don’t have. Big fan here!
