Shot from the point-of-view of smartphones and computer screens, the film follows a father (John Cho) trying to find his missing 16-year-old daughter. It is noted as the first mainstream Hollywood thriller headlined by an Asian-American actor. 93% on Rotten Tomatoes! Just my kinda film. Seeing it on Sunday

The twists are done so well with throwing out subtle hints throughout the film and it works so well all being done online / phone / YouTube videos - making you really engage and works more effectively than say the Unfriended films.

I eventually got the twists (well, kinda) before they unravelled, but it wasn't THAT predictable. Thought the cast did an amazing job overall. The more I think and talk about it to someone, the more I realise how much I enjoyed it.
