Ch@troom

Aroview: J-Horror stalwart Hideo Nakata directs this British-set cautionary tale about a group of self-centred teenagers whose regular cyberspace meetings escalate into a series of sinister and manipulative dares.

The film's interesting visual representation of the teens' online and offline worlds aside, a lack of smarts elsewhere condemns it to the heap of badly-thought-out thrillers. Obsessive social networkers, though, may find more to ponder.
