tedg You know what? This is pretty incompetent in a few ways, but the incompetence works for it.This is a murder mystery of the old school. You are introduced to characters. Murders are being committed. Clues are placed around. Many suspects and many motives are given.There is a chatroom angle, but that does not matter. There is a horror genre angle, but that does not matter either.What matters is that you really are allowed to be the detective. There are none of the detective genre devices that you expect to find. The situation is very chaotic, more nonsensical than the conventions allow. That's what makes it work. Yes, you are a bit surprised at the end. But they play fair, and in the denouement, you have the film flashbacks to attest that the solution was under your nose.The production values are pretty bad. And the lines are profoundly juvenile. But the mystery itself: cool stuff.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

dianabeltrab I'm a fan of the soaps, so I picked this movie up because of Terri and Frank. I thought the title was cheesy and wasn't expecting too much but any chance I can see Frank especially, I'm in.Enjoyed the funny scenes with Terri and the landlady but was disappointed that there wasn't more chemistry between Frank and Terri, their relationship seemed to move pretty fast.I really liked the Frank/FBI stuff and didn't even realize that candyman was in the movie. That was a bonus.Thought the idea of the script and the way the characters were tied together in the end was excellent which is why I gave this a good rating."i" only wish they would have picked a different title.

mcwhammer iMurders is a film about a small group of cyber-friends that meet-up once a week for an online chat. In their voice/video/text chats, the host (a special effects artist) chooses a game to play that lasts all month long. The winner of the final round gets a prize from the host's memorabilia collection.But being iMurders, things obviously go a lot further than that premise. The month's game is supposed to be a Survivor style game, in which chat members are "knocked off" one by one for saying the pre-determined code word. However, the host of this game is very quickly incapacitated, and the self-ordained replacement host decides the new rules of staying alive in this game.This film struck me with the number of character actors present... it runs the gamut from Tony Todd and Frank Grillo to the wonderful Gabrielle Anwar. However, even though those names get first billing, the spotlight here is placed on the less recognizable actors, such as Terri Colombino (the lead in iMurders).Ironically, Colombino bears a striking resemblance to Diane Lane, star of the similarly-themed (if much worse film) Untraceable.So, with all of these familiar actors finally getting their due, does the film do them justice? For the most part, it actually does! The plot is very interesting, and more interweaving than it seems to be in the first hour of the movie. There haven't been many good movies made about the dangers of "cyber-friends" that you've never met in person. And while the line-writing struggles to express any character's knowledge of the internet (multiple characters stiffly insert the word "computer" in front of other technology-based words, just in case you don't know what a chat room or keyboard is), ultimately the plot matters more than the believability.By the end, you only have so many options for who the chat room killer may be, and the reveal came way out of left field. It doesn't explain everything in the end though, which leaves you hanging with some plot gaps (such as the FBI's immediate knowledge of the chat room... the FBI didn't even know how to stop 9/11 from happening, so you can't tell me they caught on to the chat room the second its visitors started becoming victims), but I can forgive some things ultimately because the rest of the movie makes up for it easily.

Joshua Gilmore For this review, I have to break it into 2 parts. Both of the parts are positive, so here we go. The movie was insanely well made, my horror fan boy side was flipping with every twist and the ending was genius. Usually I have a way of figuring the endings out before the final credits, but I could not do it with this movie. I was honestly surprise with the ending and this one gives you something that is not the "norm" of the normal slasher movie. This flip of the script makes it a definite watch, compared to the run of the mill horror movie. The second half of this review comes from the wannabe filmmaker in me. I loved how this movie was shot; it ran very smoothly and gave you the right jolt as the blood began to spill. Finally, it's great that an original movie idea isn't dead in this movie world.
