So maybe I'm not qualified (as I've only watched 5 minutes),but sometimes you just get a gut feeling that although it looks pretty awful - the acting is bad, the characters are ridiculous, the camera work is laughable - you simply know that it's not going to get any better.
So you head for IMDB and try to guess what the current rating is. I guessed 2 so was pretty close. I even checked the actor who was currently on screen and couldn't believe his profile: "Manny Perez is becoming one of the most recognized Latino Actors in Hollywood. He has embarked into the most pivotal steps in his career."
Really? It was his acting that made me stop watching.
So who writes the profile? Perhaps they are "fake profiles".

Antisocial.app: Simply not as bad as the rating suggests
2.7 is where Killer App/Antisocial.app presently stands and that's absurdly low. Movies only usually hit that level when they're hyper low budget and awful or rooted in politics/propaganda. This isn't either, so where is the hate coming from?
With a competent cast lead by Ashley Rickards and Greg Ellis this little cyber thriller is far from good, but not a 2.7.
It tells the story of a group of tech-head kids who get the opportunity of a lifetime to showcase their ideas to the biggest tech company in the world. However when our leading lady is betrayed and her ideas stolen on this grand stage she takes drastic action against them.
The film is fairly stylish, the cast deliver and the idea isn't entirely terrible it's just poorly handled. In fact sadly you could say that about most aspects of the movie, especially the end. The film chunters along building itself up then hits you with a very underwhelming completely devoid of shock finale.
This is one of those generic 90 minute thrillers you can do a lot worse than so in this guys opinion it's not deserving of such a crazily low rating. Make no mistake though this is light on originality and entertainment.
The Good:
Ashley Rickards and Greg Ellis
The Bad:
Weak payoff
See you later gator
The film develops awkwardly in the beginning attempting to establish relationships. Linus Springer (Jonny Rees) is founder and CEO of Titan, a high tech software company, like Google on steroids. He has a number of young and teen app programmers and developers come work for his company. One such person is Jessie (Ashley Rickards) supposedly Linus' illegitimate daughter. Linus claims his absence as a father is what made Jessie strong..."A Boy Named Sue" philosophy that works better in a song than real life. Jesse has developed an app called "right click" that allows you to make some sort of on-line enemies list. It gets tied into Titan's network and it appears she has inadvertently created a "kill list" as people die around her.
The action takes place in a sparsely furnished neon/LED lit rooms. Not much cost for a set. Likewise the killings are in a small group. The problem with killer computer programs is that a person has to be somehow connected to be a victim and in this film it couldn't maintain that level past two people. Ashley plays the cynical daughter of a ruthless CEO who exhibits similar "coding." The film holds your interest for about an hour and then once things are revealed, the ending was severely anti-climatic.
Guide: No swearing or nudity. One sensual scene.
