I just cannot believe that this movie was made by a 23 year old guy who also acted in it ....
"Hitchcock on Facebook" is what Mubi called this movie. It's about Sam (Benedict Sieverding), a high school nerd with a broken leg. He finds a way to access all his school friends webcams, until the new boy Aaron (Tali Barde) behaves suspicious. Sam and his friend Livia (Luisa Gross) try to find out what he did, rear window style.
This is a student film. Made by college students. I just can't wrap my head around this. Tali Barde, the director, was my age when he made that movie. And I'm sitting here, paid money to see his movie and write a review.
Anyway, this movie is well shot, it looks really good. The teenagers behave pretty much like teenagers (except for Sam closing his eyes when his crush gets naked in front of the camera.
The acting is good, especially by the two leads. With Tali Bardes acting I had some problems, he exaggerated a little bit from normal guy to psycho. But that had its own charme.
I haven't seen Rear WIndow (yet), but I've seen the spoof by the Simpsons, so I knew the outline. I enjoyed the way the inserted technology, in a way that is pretty good actually (and actually pretty similar to the new Scream tv show).
The programming was a little weird, but still in the realm of the possible.
All in all, I enjoyed this movie and was blown away by it being done by such young people. I'm rating it 4 out of 5 stars and a like.
