It is a great thriller with a lot more to it than meets the eye, I think.

There are these little details which I think tell a whole different story about Kelly-Ann. If you look around her bare room, you'll see interesting pictures.

There is print copy of a roundel from XVI century, which depicts Delilah cutting Samson's hair and thus taking his powers away from him. A theme of taking control away from a man which speaks to the ending of the film, I think but maybe also means something in a broader sense.

There is a painting of Grimshaw's 'Lady of Shalott' on her desktop, and LadyofShalot also happens to be her nickname in chatrooms and poker. According to Tennyson's poem of the same name the Lady, who is Elaine of Astolat, is cursed to live alone in her castle and weave all day long, she cannot look out of the window, so the only way for her to see people and the world is to keep looking in the mirror on her wall. One day she sees the reflection of Sir Lancelot passing by and falls in love with him, turns to look through the window, leaves the castle and thus puts the curse in motion: she travels in a boat down the river to Camelot but dies on the way and arrives to her destination dead. It's obvious that Kelly-Ann is also sort of bound to an isolated existence in which she engages with the world and other people via her own digital mirrors.

Then there is her AI friend Guinevere. Named after the queen of Camelot and King Arthur's wife. Guinevere was the tragic love of Sir Lancelot, and she was a rival of Elaine of Astolat.

But if you look at the photograph which is used to represent Guinevere - it's a picture of Alice Liddell posing as St Agnes. Liddell was a famous child model for Louis Carroll and it is said that she was the prototype for the heroine of "Alice in the Wonderland". The connection here is obvious: Kelly-Ann is also a model, and the Dark Web is her rabbit hole through which she traverses the not so Wonderland of the virtual reality of human perversity.

But then why choose this specific picture of a prolific model Liddell as St Agnes? St Agnes is a virgin martyr from Rome, who was killed at the age of 12-13 for her piety and purity. Because she denied all of her suitors, devoting herself to her faith, she was accused of practicing Christian religion and dragged naked through the streets to a brothel, but her prayers shielded her from harm and rape, so in the end she was executed and later canonized. Given that the murderer is accused of raping and torturing teenagers, this little detail seems to speak to that, but also makes me wonder if Kelly-Ann herself is a victim of a horrible crime and so the ending is her catharsis..? So many more questions! But I am so impressed with how these things are so evidently yet smartly placed and weaved into the story.
