tedg This promises two things.One is a lightweight system to connect an App with a movie. You download the free App and launch it. It listens to the film and synchronizes some images and a little video from time to time. This is a fantastic idea, but in this case the experience wasn't expanded. The main effect is that the movie is purportedly about an app with the same name that takes over your phone and life, potentially very spooky, like having Ringu in your VHS player.The other promise is a new twist on the charmed evil object merged with the trope of an AI system capable of gathering from anywhere and reaching everywhere. We've seen too many from the AI side already, many of them so uninformed they cannot register. They may as well use genies.That's something of what goes on here. In fact we have three horror notions merged. The app in some instances has to be placed on the phone but in others not. It seems to be connected to everything that is online, but the appearance and behavior is unsophisticated.It also is magical, turning on a radio that it knows will bounce into a pool; driving a truck into a car. Making a phone explode. Reading minds.We also have the technologist conspirators, a supposedly bright student and a medical doctor who have placed this app here and there and also control it to some extent. There is no discernible logic to what we see, though. (The app kills the student.)A typical high tech NSA conspiracy plot can use these without much question: the organization is evil and the tech is often out of control. Simple.Some deaths occur to keep the app undisclosed. The app appears to spy on the student's old girlfriends. It is used to try to control prosthetics for the heroine's crippled brother…One episode seems purely evil, revealing a completely unrelated gay encounter between student and professor. You've got to be pretty soft in the head to not let these key matters get in the way.No redeeming content, despite the downloadable second screen experience.

TxMike I found this movie on Netflix streaming. An interesting concept, it drew me in and I was rewarded with a quite novel movie. The only difficulty is the Dutch language with English subtitles, sometimes the dialog is quick and it is challenging to both follow the picture and read the words. Also some of the concepts are a bit obscure and require some guessing. But I enjoyed it as something quite different and entertaining.The first scene sets the stage but doesn't really give us much clue, until later when she is talked about. A young lady is going home, checking her phone, (hands-free) for messages. She gets a couple, stops her car just over train tracks, then walks back to stand on the tracks and get killed by the commuter train. A sinister warning.The star is very pretty Hannah Hoekstra (looking a bit like Emma Watson and Natalie Morales of TV) as college student Anna Rijnders. She rides a Honda motorcycle, it looks like it may be one the the classic 4-cylinder models like the CB400.She gets a mysterious 'app' on her phone that at first appears very useful, you can ask it things and you get answers. But it turns out to have a mind of its own, it videos people in private moments, and those videos appear all over the media, as just one example. Much of the movie is about Anna and others trying to get rid of the app.At the end it appears they have but, as Anna and a friend board a flight to Spain for holiday, we see a cockpit screen and guess what shows up? Yes, the 'app'. Will they ever make it there?

gavin6942 A young psychology student is drawn into the dark and fearful world of a diabolic and mysterious App that starts to terrorize her, distributing compromising photographs, videos and text messages about herself and delves deeper and deeper into her personal life, flawlessly exposing all of her deepest secrets.Absolutely worth singling out is Herman Witkam, the film's composer. Despite his lengthy credits, Witkam is not well known (at least not in America), but should be. He provides a score that is both unique and energizing, and fits the film's theme perfectly.The general idea is brilliant, especially as apps become more advanced and our privacy gets thinner and thinner through social media. This is truly something that needs to be seen by more viewers.

Istorik Onkologist The Plot is weak. Not a university in a world in which professors call their students with the first name. The live of students is shown in a not appropriate way. To much trying of showing them as party anmials. To much commercials for alkohol and smartphones. How the GEZ can do this? The first review has it all pointed out to a rightfull end: weak plot. And some other points. Why the girl had to clean out the hole in the window she just broke in? She had be quick to save her friend in the water before she is electrocuted. But she comes too late because she had to clean out the shards of glass. Unnecessary. A hipster like movie. Thats just bad. To concentrated upon modern technology must happen n a better way. And how did the militias killed the relatives of the Russian professor? Militia=Police. Or was he habilated in the second world war and the milita was in the regions controlled by wehrmacht? No sense at all.
