Just a pulsating pile of unidentifiable goo that loves horror and other genre movies. Trash that loves trash.

Suffocating in dread and unease from the first frame to the last. A haunting portrayal of loneliness and isolation amidst the urban concrete labyrinth and newly emerging digital world. Like in Ring, there's a masterful merging of the timeless world of ghosts and the supernatural with the modern world of screens and wires. A vibes-heavy movie (sometimes frustratingly so, as the exact mechanism for how everything in the movie is happening is unclear) that remains a compelling commentary on technology and isolation even over 20 years later. Essential viewing.
