There have been a spate of short horror films that got made into features by the original creators over the past few years. For example the likes of Lights Out (2016) and the fantastic Martin Freeman zombie film Cargo (2017).
Selfie from Hell is based on the short film from the same people made back in 2015. Sadly however the short was considerably better than this which is a demonstration that some concepts don't suit 90 minute outings.
With the same creators and the shorts star I was shocked how low its rating was going in. At time of writing we're talking 3.1, that's incredibly low and I didn't expect something that bad! Well, I get it I really do the film is quite dire.
It tells the story of a girl who gets caught up in the dark web and a possible supernatural presence when her friend falls sick while visiting.
The whole thing starts interestingly enough but spirals out of control. By the time you're hit with the finale it's truly seven shades of awful, barely makes sense and just doesn't make for an entertaining watch.
This is one of those films I wanted to like, but the concept simply doesn't work.
The Good:
I genuinely can't think of anything
The Bad:
Some elements are beyond stupid
Offensively ridiculous pseudo computer science
Awful ending
