When vlogger, Julia (Meelah Adams), falls mysteriously ill while visiting her cousin, Hannah (Alyson Walker), it prompts Hannah to go through Julia's vlogging videos where she discovers that her cousin is involved in dark stuff on the Deep Web. Oddly, Hannah is also receiving messages form Julia, despite Julia being unconscious. The deeper Hannah begins to dig, the more she too starts to notice a strange presence haunting her, too - especially when she attempts to take a selfie.
A plot that was an effective horror short loses something in becoming feature length. The film actually boasts some fun and competent effects which add to the tension in the horror scenes - particularly where the selfie taker is slowly stalked by the 'selfieman'. However, the overall feature is a little clunky and fails to deliver the scares promised by the short. The characters also make some extremely odd decisions (of course you'd dump your comatose cousin in your bed...) and don't successfully build a lot of sympathy from the audience.
