Five university friends gather at a house party to ring in the New Year. Unbeknownst to them, an epidemic has erupted outside, causing outbreaks around the world. With nowhere else to turn, they barricade themselves indoors with only their phones, laptops, and other tech devices. They use their devices to research the possible cause of this outbreak. Information and video footage over flow their computers as they descend further into the cause and the ensuing chaos. As the virus spreads, the mood in the house changes from fear to paranoia. Who is safe? Who can they trust? Reality becomes blurred as they slowly discover the source of the virus causing the sickness...and there is no going back.

Very best movie i ever watch
Must See Movie...
Admirable film.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
'Teens' are afflicted by a virus which turns them into zombie-like creatures. Quite low budget - everything happens in one house - and irritating at times. However, a fairly good paranoid atmosphere which, surprisingly, kept me watching. Acting was average, script mediocre at best, and everyone does the stupidest of things. However, it is reasonable original and watchable: The title refers to social media, which adversely affects the subscribers in a somewhat unfortunate way.The social media website the main protagonists use is 'The Social Redroom' and Red Room are the production company, so a good bit of self-promotion by the film-makers. Worth a look if you have a few spare moments, but don't expect anything too earth-shattering.
Twenty minutes in, I decided to go clean my kitchen instead. That should give you a good idea of how good this movie is.Let's use the "things I learned" motif:Balcony railings collapse no matter what force is applied.A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless you are the good guy. Barricading a house necessitates a montage. Livestreaming vloggers stay on line until someone sends a video chat. Go ahead. You are undoubtedly the first one to think to do this.Never trust a guy named Chad. Even if he is Canadian. Especially if he is CanadianA glass sliding door will only ever be used once as a means of entry. A person choking next to you should never distract you from web-surfing. Christmas tree lights are remarkably strong. College students don't swear nearly as much as you remember.It's really hard to tell the difference between the aftermath of a really good New Year's Eve party, and a home invasion.I don't have any quibbles with the fictional cause of the outbreak, its effects or its treatment. We long ago gave up on any sort of logic about those things in these types of movies.It is hard however, very hard, perhaps even impossible, to make your protagonist both adorable and bad-ass. But I'll be damned if they don't try.
OK, so this is one of those films you come across & think, 'I'll give it a go', and we're glad we did.Yes, the acting could be slightly better and yes, we could do with something to make us like the characters a little more. BUT, if you enjoy your zombie movies and you like to see a movie taking it beyond your basic shamblers/runners etc. then this does give you that.**Spoiler warning ahead**One of the things we love about watching zombie films is seeing if the makers can come up with 'inventive' kills. This movie has a few... We have 'Death by shoe' great. 'Death by laptop' brilliant. But, our favourite by far, (drum roll please) was 'Death by fairy-lights'.I think part of the enjoyment of this movie is the way they have fully taken in the whole evolution of zombies, which we've all probably seen the 'updated' evolution charts showing the original 'Night of the Living Dead' shamblers, to the 'Walking Dead' and '28 days Later' runners/infected right through to teenagers shambling along with their phones etc. in their hands, (of which we have two!) This movie has captured the sense of living through social media and run with it and, more to the point, done it quite well.And when you find yourself saying 'That type of mass brainwashing could actually happen' (minus the worm-like creatures) then you know it's been done well. So yes, definitely worth a watch. And we are now looking for more 'Red Room Production' and 'Black Fawn Films' movies.Oh, and by the way, this is the first ever movie review I've done and it's been done purely because we think this movie's definitely better than some of the reviews and star ratings would have you believe. Enjoy!
This is an insult to the horror genre and to all genres in general. It is full of stupidity and nonsense It's made up of very bad acting, worst script and story ever. I am a hardcore horror films fan and I feel deeply insulted. Please do yourselves a favor and DO NOT WATCH THIS. I mean c'mon the main character drills her own skull in front of a mirror very calmly and does not even blink. And what can I say about the "evil social network" that makes people sick. This was a very bad, bad joke, I was definitely hoping for a message to appear at the end of the movie telling me it was all a joke. I insist, do yourselves a favor and do not watch this.
