A teenager and her brother are stalked by an internet meme made flesh. Straightforward Slenderman-ish digital fears/viral challenge/ASMR jumpscare horror. Doesn’t add much to the subgenre (and the Big Bad looks a bit too like Despicable Me‘s Gru to be properly scary), but competent enough.
Here’s the trailer.
The story of an online sensation: a clown you can pay to scare your children. Solid documentary (which flirts with the extent to which it might be fictional, an art project, or something else) that explores memes, contemporary media folk devils, coulrophobia, parenting, “behavioural services”, and more.
Four high school girls are targeted by a vigilante posse after a data hack tears a town apart. Stylish and confident Trump-era satire, equal parts The Purge sequels and God Bless America. More set-up than an actual fully-fledged movie, this nevertheless has lots to recommend it if you go with it.
A young photographer becomes part of a pop-up viral game where contestants complete dares for money. Slick and great-looking social media thriller which plays with a number of contemporary tensions, and makes New York feel like a European capital city.
