Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

pedrolscastelbranco I'm either a complete ignorant regarding cinema's art or have the technological savvy of a granny who stills calls a PS4 Nintendo but nevertheless i found this movie to be quite appealing unlike the rest of the world. Thou I might agree that the pace and the quality of the actors was a bit over reasonable, the central theme and the conversion to the on-line world got me completely hooked. The contrast of the Gray real characters into enthusiastic colorful on-line characters was to me the most interesting and subtle detail which mixed with topics as powerful as suicide and faceless manipulation made the watching of this movie quite remarkable

Sunny Johnson I'm absolutely floored by all of the negative reviews this movie has gotten. Chatroom is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. I can see the point of the film has gone over the heads of nearly everyone who has reviewed this so far, and I'd like to set the record straight: Chatroom is fantastic.Although the characterization of almost all the supporting characters is weak, William is intriguing and of a character quality I, as a writer, aim to construct. He makes your skin crawl with the terrible things he masterminds, yet you can't help feeling drawn to him. You want to help him and you want to know more about him. You know that, logically, you should despise him, but there is a part of you that doesn't.The symbolism in Chatroom is incredible. As William's true identity is revealed throughout the course of the movie, the lighting changes as well as his appearance. By the end of the film, the scenes have a blue tint to them. William's hair, which is gelled smooth and flat when he introduces himself to Chelsea Teens!, is curly, messy, and unkempt by the time he meets the kids in real life. Obviously, these, among many more slight metaphors littered throughout the film, were completely glazed over by critics. These enhance the movie and tinker with your mind.If anything, stick around for the adrenaline rush that hits you in the last 15 minutes of the film. Do not listen to these nay-sayers, as there is so much more to Chatroom than clichés. It is truly an amazing film, and I will stand by that opinion until the day I die.

Laurily Jameson As soon as I finished watching this movie, I made an IMDb account so I could write this review. The movie Chatroom takes place almost entirely online, with the setting being shown in a very unique way on-screen. As the teens log in, we see the internet become personified as a hotel-like place, each door leading to a different room (some locked, some public). The hallways to the rooms are filled with a variety of people, including pedophiles, barely clothed women, men in suits, small children, teens, and every day normal people. The internet is a very diverse place and chatrooms are used by many. Luckily, not all are used in the way it was in this feature.The main character, Will (a seemingly normal, though troubled teen) creates a chatroom and allows only the 4 other characters in to talk to him. Towards the middle of the movie it begins to come to light that Will's intentions for the room are not positive at all. He aims to hurt some of the others, and attempts to convince another to commit suicide. Even though the ending was rather predictable for a movie of this type, I still enjoyed it very much. What made me want to write my ideas on the movie was a review I saw on Netflix about how terrible of a movie this was. I'll be honest, if you're looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat, this may not be it. However, it's definitely honest. Between 12 and about 17, I frequented chatrooms nearly every night. This movie almost portrays my experience to a t. I was a lonely kid, and I found friends who I thought I could trust and confide in. I came across my fair share of pedophiles and generally bad people. I've seen people bully relentlessly and even tell people to kill themselves until they were forced to leave, hopefully unscathed emotionally. This movie brings to light a harsh reality that youth today are living. With technology so readily available- it is going to be abused. We need to be watching our connections and parental block is definitely your friend if you're a parent. Kids are looking for answers online, and it's not a safe place to be looking at all. Don't get me wrong, I have made lasting relationships through chatrooms. I even lived with a man who I met online, but it isn't worth the risk. I've also been black mailed similarly to how the character tried to black mail the other characters into keeping quiet, the only difference is that I got blackmailed into sending nude pictures while I was underage. These things are happening to teens way more than people realize, because no one is telling you. None of these kids told their parents about what was happening, and none of their parents took action because they didn't think anything was wrong. Chatroom can only be considered a horror if you realize the reality of it.I suppose what I'm really trying to say in this review is, if you watch this movie and read the reviews and read this one, take as much of this movie to heart as you can. It's a reality that you're going to probably have to handle with your kids when you have them, and if you have them now, they may already be involved. They may not be in as bad of a situation, or any situation at all, but stay in the know and keep connected. It's too risky not to. The technology may change, but with every good opportunity, there are just as many bad to counteract it.

Leofwine_draca While I admire the rationale behind CHATROOM, a would-be thriller that looks at the dark side of Internet-age communication, I have to say that it just doesn't work as an emotionally satisfying film. The film grabs the topic of Internet chat – and all the bullying, perversion and peer group pressure that goes with it – and explores it in an unusual way. The participants are shown meeting up in physical rooms and speaking face to face. The idea behind this, I guess, is that showing them sitting quietly and endlessly typing back and forth would have been boring, but that method was used in at least a couple of successful documentaries I've seen (TALLHOTBLOND and CATFISH) so I don't necessarily buy it.In any case, what follows is a psychological exploration of both the positive and negative sides of the experience. At first, speaking to fellow teens allows the participants freedom of expression and friendship, but that soon degenerates into violence. Sadly, there just isn't enough plot to sustain the hour and a half run time, so before long the pacing slows right down and we're left endlessly waiting for something to happen.The script, which is based on a stage play, feels staged and slightly pretentious; I can see how it would have worked better given the physical constraints of the theatre, but that format feels artificial here. There's a whole self-conscious feel to the proceedings. It's a shame, because the bright young cast certainly give it their all: Aaron Johnson is absolutely fiendish in the central role, Imogen Poots is lovely, and both Hannah Murray and Daniel Kaluuya give oddly touching turns.The real star, of course, is Hideo Nakata, weirdly imported in to direct a movie which he can't make any mark on whatsoever. A single, chilling scene of an Asian girl committing suicide on webcam is the only reminder that Nakata's a king in the J-horror genre.
