      Craig: [narrating] When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers. Oscar Wilde wrote that. We didn't read that book. Maybe we should have.

    A Stephen King story without the horror
    When I saw the trailer for this film, I was kind of excited since it's based on a story for Stephen King, and the premise was interesting, plus the two main lead actors (Donald Sutherland, Jaeden Martell) are definitely great.

    As the story progress, I kept waiting for the cool parts to start happening, but sadly they hardly ever happened, and all we saw is a big indirect advertising campaign for iphone (not that Apple needs it), but seriously the whole movie is based on the iphone.

    Another thing that got me confused is how the movie's genre says "horror" but it has no such thing, it's very misleading, it's more of a drama thriller.

    I loved the parts when Craig was reading to Harrigan, and how their relationship got stronger, in spite of the vast difference between them.

    I guess the main message the film is trying to convey is the effect of modern technology (in this case the smartphone) on our lives, and how it completely disengage us from the real world, and end up controlling us and feeding us lies. And also to be careful what we wish for.

    "When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers". Oscar Wilde.
