Technology Horror Movies
Whether you like them or not, technology horror movies are a very popular genre of movie these days. Whether you want to see the latest in the genre or one that's been around for awhile, you can find one that you'll enjoy. Untraceable (2008)
Described as a “Silence of the Lambs for the Internet age,” Untraceable is a horror thriller that uses the internet as a plot device to capture a serial killer. The movie also dramatizes the dangers of anonymity and exploitation online.
Untraceable is directed by Gregory Hoblit. He has worked on films such as Primal Fear (1996), Fallen (1998), and Hart's War (2002). He also directed Fracture (2007).
Untraceable takes aim at modern media sensationalism. The film centers on the FBI's attempt to track down an untraceable website that is filming and posting murders of unconnected people. It also dramatizes the role of the audience in bad behavior on the internet.
The film starts out very interesting, but then goes downhill in the second half. It is less mysterious and more predictable than a primetime crime drama. The film also relyes on too much gratuitous gore.
The movie's subtext, however, can be preachy and heavy handed. The film's criticism of net neutrality is misguided. The film also features some more graphic torture scenes than primetime.
The movie also focuses on internet piracy. The film's fictional company is similar to Google and Alphabet. The movie also highlights the dangers of surveillance capitalism. The movie also features a babysitter, Stella Marsh, who works for the FBI.
Diane Lane is the lead. She plays the mother of a young girl. She is also involved in monitoring music and porn sites. The film also features a scene on the Broadway Bridge, which was shot on an actual bridge. The cast also included Mary Beth Hurt, Joseph Cross, and Billy Burke.
Untraceable has a lot of interesting ideas. However, the movie's story is not complex enough. Disconnect (2012)
DISCONNECT is a technology horror movie that takes the internet as its subject matter. It explores the dangers of social media addiction and technology misuse. It also shows the potential for catastrophe in a world where everything is connected. The movie is directed by Henry Alex Rubin and features an all-star cast including Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, Frank Grillo and Alexander Skarsgard.
The movie is about three interconnected stories. One relates to a teenager who is obsessed with social media and uses it to connect with other teenagers. The other two involve a pair of technologically savvy predators.
The movie has a few pitfalls, but it also has its share of entertaining moments. The climactic scene is impressive for its size, but it isn't quite as emotional as it could have been, as there are some loose ends that the writers fail to tie up.
The movie is also littered with eye-popping graphics and tech. The movie is directed by Henry Alex Rubin, who is a master of commercials and has a lucrative film future ahead of him. The film is accompanied by a nice musical score by Max Richter.
While the movie isn't particularly original, it's not a bad instructional movie for modern day kids. It shows the dangers of social media and technology misuse, as well as how to use the internet safely at home. The film has some interesting strands, and the cast is well-rounded.
There is also some violence and sexual content. The movie isn't exactly original in its storyline, and its plot is somewhat confusing, but the film does a good job of capturing the perils of digital communication.
The movie is also notable for its well-chosen title, which refers to the same concept. The title is more of a metaphor than a real-world statement. Open Windows (2014)
'Open Windows' is a 2014 Spanish-American horror movie directed by Nacho Vigalondo. It is based on the video game Chord.
Vigalondo takes a few liberties with the game, but he does not overdo it. Rather than trying to justify science, he uses it to tell a story about the perils of online predators.
The movie takes place almost entirely on a laptop screen, with a few webcams and streaming videos thrown in. Elijah Wood stars as Nick Chambers, a webmaster of a Jill Goddard fan site. Nick is summoned by a mysterious figure (Neil Maskell) to go to a location and open links for a group of hackers.
The story is not entirely original, but it is a clever one. Vigalondo does a good job of capturing the complexity of the digital age. He also uses a lot of techno-gadgets that will spin the head of Bill Gates.
The plot involves a series of high-speed thrills. It is also full of deus ex machinae. For instance, a minor character (played by Sasha Grey) snorts cocaine.
The film is a lot of fun for a while. But as it progresses, it becomes increasingly confusing. There is also a lot of sexual objectification. The characters do not seem like they are who they are portrayed to be.
There are a lot of twists in Open Windows. There are enough deus ex machinae to make it a confusing movie, but Vigalondo's screenplay never becomes a complete mess. Some of the images are cool.
Open Windows' final act, however, is a jumble of weird exposition. It's also a waste of a good idea. It could have been better served with a simpler resolution.edusectors.com Abzurdah (2015)
