  SPOOKTOBER V: DEATH’S DEVICE

  One of those movies I had no idea it existed until I just randomly stumbled upon it while searching for movies for this marathon. And while I can’t say I found a hidden gem, it's still a solid entry into the found footage genre with a little bit of a twist.

  Basically, we follow this woman in her daily life. Her time in school, her relationship with friends and loved ones. Her lazy moments. Her boring hours in bed reading, painting her fingers, massaging her legs, mastering her command(!). Really, most of the film was kind of uneventful in that regard. The twist lies in the fact that a significant portion of the film is viewed…

  Top 10 de mis miedos más injustificados (o quizás no tan injustificados, vaya uno a saber…).

  Ratter es entretenida y logró mantenerme en vilo y a la expectativa durante sus ochenta minutos de duración. Hoy por hoy, todos estamos expuestos a que nuestra privacidad y seguridad en línea pueda ser burlada, por lo que se me hizo fácil identificarme con Emma. Además, me pareció acertada la elección de Ashley Benson en el protagónico, pues en ese entonces  Pretty Little Liars estaba en su boom y la serie -muy a su manera y guardando las diferencias- también abarcaba una temática similar (mujeres jóvenes siendo acosadas por un x). Si bien la película no requiere esfuerzos interpretativos mayores, Benson…

  For a pretty boring movie, the ending is surprisingly very strong. It was a genuinely upsetting and disturbing closing scene.

  Review by Ghostsmut ★★★

  A nasty little film make no mistake. Very much about the male gaze and voyeurism. We watch Emma through all her technology - webcams and mobile phones - that have been hacked and providing us with stolen footage of her day to day life. Intimate moments. We know we're a creep for watching.

  In many ways the film is a warning on technology -who has access to your mobile phone camera when it's connected to the internet? Which apps have you allowed to steal your data? What are they doing with it? Who is stealing your private moments?

  At only 80 mins long it still manages to nearly run out of steam before an absolutely brutal finale that lingers in the memory but never really explains anything. In some ways that's really bold and in others it's just frustrating.

  Review by 𝐒𝐜𝐢-𝐅𝐢 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢🍥 ★★½ 9

  Grad school student moves into spacious Brooklyn apartment and her every movement is witnessed by a hacker who's tapped into her phone and laptop.

  I had to look up the title. Something to do with a Remote Access Trojan that, once activated can allow someone to access the user's devices. So we get what should be a static angle found footage flick, mainly from the cameras on her devices.

  Probably an interesting idea at the time, but with too many convenient angles that often made me wonder who the heck carries their phone that way?

  Plus we get a few ghost angles from unseen devices that I can only guess the stalker must have planted.

  Anyway, it does an effective…

  Review by ✯ Miloš⑬ 💀↯ ★★★½

  Ratter is about a hacker who stalks and watches a young girl's life through her laptop and phone cameras.

  Despite being a low-budget horror movie that seems to have had no budget to make, I liked how this movie has a realistic style. The calm atmosphere and apartment setting were enjoyable, and Ashley Benson did a very good job of playing a girl with an average life we've all met. There were a few moments that gave me creepy vibes, but that's not saying much. The ending sucked because the dialogue was so bad, it had no twist and didn't tell me much. However, it still left me a bit disturbed.

  Overall, it's a simple found-footage movie that lasts only 80 minutes and was entertaining. The stalker taking pictures of Ashley Benson's feet through a laptop cam was funny though, lol.

  Review by RobynSummer

  Ratter has a very relevant and terrifying premise, and its ending is bone chilling, but it’s brought down by poor pacing and dull storytelling. I understand that we’re supposed to be watching the everyday events of a woman’s life, which should highlight the horror of the story by reminding us that someone could be watching us on our own devices. But, when I’m watching a boring woman live her boring life while talking to boring men and her boring friend, it’s hard to feel anything but bored. This was only 80 minutes long, but it should have been shorter. That, or more time should have been spent on setting up an unsettling or scary atmosphere. The ending’s great, but it's not enough to make up for the snoozefest that preceded it.
