The only thing that makes this somewhat interesting is that it's not going the paranormal route.

A cabal of people who can locate and kill random people all across America in a couple minutes without getting caught afterward is sort of going down the route of "it's magic, I don't have to explain shit", though.

Did they just fucking flatline someone via the internet?

That eerily reminds me of those certain kahunas in Hawaiian mythology, I think, that supposedly could pray people to death. I don't know if that actually happened though.

But them producing another one of these movies wasn't too surprising, as the first one did make a very nice profit.

Making a profit isn't hard when all you need is a couple shitty actors wearing regular streetclothes, subpar cameras and like 5 rooms that everything happens in.

Found footage (and whatever this new genre of "Watch people have a skype convo" is called) is very tempting for movie companies, since it costs almost nothing to be made, so even a tiny amount of money makes decent profit.
And you can always hope to be the next Blair Witch Project with a gimmick like that.

I'm shocked no one posted the YMS review yet:




That said, I kind of like the idea. Some kind of Illuminati/Mafia kind of group hacking your shit and forcing you to do things? That's kind of interesting. This will probably suck but I like the idea more than the first movie.

Oh my god this looks re.tarded.
Like, seriously? Evil darkweb gang of haxorz who can do magic via haxing?
The fact that they can apparently track random shlubs for shits and giggles?
The fact that said random shlubs reaction is to sit around like idiots crying over shit instead of, I don’t know, calling the police? Or getting out granda’s shotgun and setting up an ambush for da haxors?

neither have i, but i've been meaning to.

anyway, yes it is
"Shut Up and Dance" is the third episode of the third series of British science fiction anthology series Black Mirror. It was written by series creator and showrunner Charlie Brooker and William Bridges, and premiered on Netflix on 21 October 2016, together with the rest of series three.[1]

The episode tells the story of a teenage boy (Alex Lawther) who is blackmailed into committing bizarre and criminal acts by a mysterious hacker possessing a video of him masturbating. The boy is joined by a middle-aged man (Jerome Flynn), whom the same hacker is blackmailing over infidelity.

with a show that is about the use and abuse of technology, i see little reason for this movie other than "we need some money and we got this actor who eats the scenery like a pro"

I could probably place a bet that not one of them have read an RFC.

How is that for being a grandpa?
