A girl commits suicide and a year later her friends get on a Skype group video chat. The dead girl joins the fun and antics ensue.
I was really interested in this film because it's entirely shot on webcams and via screen grabs. In that regard, the film is done well enough. (There are some dumb moments like the friend running some bullshit program that will magically fix everyone's computers.)
Beyond that, it's really dumb.
The whole movie is about not being a bully and being honest. However, if we're being honest, all the people didn't deserve to die or else a lot of other people needed to die as well. That statement is based on the movie's own logic.
And the worst part of all is that the main character gets handed the out early on, and not only doesn't take it, but doesn't inform anyone else of it.
Bad writing. Bad movie. Although, part of how stupid it is has to do with how moronic they made the teens, so...bonus points for realism!
