This cross between Clockwork Orange, Videodrome, and Strange Days depicts YouTube culture's race-to-the-bottom competition to broadcast the most extreme content for the highest ratings. The opening scene alone will have you riveted to your seat before the opening credits even start. The film's production quality exceeds its limited budget, with stomach-churning makeup effects that hearken torture porn standard-bearers like the Saw and Hostel movies. Filmmaker Marc Martínez Jordán has a bright future.
Plot summary
Alex meets his friends before leaving to work abroad. During the course of the evening, they will be attacked by three strange individuals whose sole objective will be to impose twisted mortal games on the guests while they broadcast it on streaming, thus making torture and death a viral spectacle.

Brutal take on YouTube culture
Out of ...
Frame or their minds? Or maybe even both? Who am I to judge? Especially when there seems a lot of people have judged otherwise (not on imdb, but considering the nominations and awards this got here) ... And while I do like spanish thrillers and horror movies, this felt a bit "run of the mill" as at least one other reviewer stated.
Good effects overall and visually more than ok. But characters are annoying as hell, have a combined IQ of ... not so much and the story is full of holes/nonsense. Now the last part you may be able to forgive. And I have seen worse movies than this - but I've seen way better movies too, so ...
TikTok gone wild...
A spanish horror flick that reflects viral video culture. It could have been great. Gore effects was excellent. Other than that, i have nothing good to say about it.
Starting scene was alright. Wife murdered cheating husband while being filmed by a psycho 'content creator'. Then comes the house party part where its dumb as turd. Friends being attacked by psycho 'content creators' and none of them had any self preservation instinct (as they all dont in many horror films). Goin outside to check out the situation ALONE.... makes no sense. The house is so easily breached... like the straw house of three little pigs. When killer gets in, everyone scattered like they are playing hide and seek. When captured, they become submissive... even when the killers does even have any firearm. Drugs that controls people's mind like zombies. Network TV allowing violence to be streamed.
Anyone interested to see how bad it is, by my guest. After that you will learn to appreciate much better horror flicks like You're Next, Green Room or Rec.
