Keep Watching 2017

Home intruders force of a family to play a terrifying game of life or death. As the mysterious rules become clear, they soon learn that their nightmare is streaming live to viewers all around the world.

This movie has lots of logic holes. Too many to allow my suspension of disbelief. There is no real character development and relies on gut reaction to the drama of the family dynamic.

There are some honest jump moments that don't feel TOO contrived with moments you expect a jump that doesn't come, and they were the best parts of the movie for me.

However

It's not anywhere near as good and disturbing as the French horror "Ils" (Them), or even the weaker American version "The Strangers". The first a truly disturbing story of home invasion!

This movie loses a lot trying to incorporate the concept of streaming online, a violent home invasion in my opinion. And the film seems written hastily.

I'd have liked to seen Chandler Riggs in something with more substance to test his movie chops. I think he has great potential!

I did have fun watching it, but more because who I watched it with. It's a good watch if you're curious, but have a back up film...just in case.
