Matias (Colin Woodell) gets a new laptop and decides to try it out for game night with his friends. Everyone Skypes in and the games begin. However, Matias' laptop keeps dropping Skype and sending him strange messages. Soon, he and his friends have discovered secret information on the computer. Just as they are deciding what to do with the information it seems that the original owner of the laptop has found Mattias and his friends. And, the original owner will stop at nothing to get it back.

This movie starts off pretty good. The whole film is told via Skype, Facebook, text and video. You get a feel for the group of friends and the tension builds as they discover some pretty evil stuff on this new laptop. But, then the film kind of falls off of the rails. it is billed as a horror film so you know everyone is going to die. It just seems stupid that all of the characters basically sit in their apartments until death comes knocking. It wasn't scary and it just stops being interesting and gets dumb. I would have liked to see the movie where the characters find the stuff on the computer and then try to find the original owner and turn him in or something. But, that is not this movie. Anyway, I thought it was a little lame. Not the worst movie ever but not very scary either. I would say skip it.
