This is one of those so odd and bad experiences, you can't take your eyes away from it. Which is coincidentally one of my biggest pet peeves about driving: people who slow traffic to look at others suffering.

I've seen movies like this before, the far better and superior "CAM" comes to mind. It's concerning social media and people desperate to extend out their 15-minutes in the new, ruthless world battle for likes. So, this unstable male decides to, unbelievably, transition into a serial killer to get his site's viewership numbers up.

Well, the basic premise doesn't really work, thanks to never buying his transformation, but as the movie progresses, it's hard to look away and you DO want to see how this plays out. I will compliment it as it's worth it and the 2nd half is mucho better than the first. So, if you made it midpoint, keep trekking.

Now, is it great? Oh, hell no. The acting's terrible, especially by people we've seen act better in other projects. The dialogue is cartoonish and the movie feels really cheap. But, heck, in these days of the world status, I applaud them for making a movie, especially one so bad, I needed to see the whole thing to...actually appreciate a bit.

Recommended...only for people who have HULU (it's free there) and for the morbidly curious.
