Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Reno Rangan I have been longing to watch this film since it was out, only now it had happened. There are not many hacking film that could satisfy thoroughly. Well, I haven't found as impressive as the recent 'Who Am I'. This film was more like partially a found-footage type. Everything was from webcams and phone cams. Not exactly truthful to the reality. Even people with basic knowledge about computers would know that. But entertainment was there. I enjoyed it, mainly because of the speed and being an edgy.Well, a contest winner is waiting in his hotel room for his dinner date with a celebrity in the later night. While he was updating his blog, someone hacks his computer and gives more contents for the blog than he had thought of. But soon it all plays out differently. Now he's the hacker's puppet, and must follow everything he says or the consequences would be serious. How far it all goes and how it all ends are the remaining story to tell us.As I said not the best in this theme, but watchable film. Everything was a one night event. Slowly started and then picked up the pace before ending on a high. The end was not good, the twist. At least that's how I felt. Should have been better, yet acceptable. Elijah was good. I just checked it out after seeing his nice act in his latest Netflix film. The rest of the cast was fine too. A Spanish film in English language. Soon I'm going to check out the 'Colossal' from this same director. So it is a good time pass film and you might enjoy it as I did.6/10

James Lister The plot is about a B-Star Actor Jill Goddard (Sasha Grey) who is tired of the business she's in and wants out. But feels trapped by her friends and management. Here enters Nick (Elijah Wood) her number one fan who runs a website dedicated to her. After winning a competition to have dinner with her he is later disappointed when a person alleging to be her representative says she cancels the dinner date. Her manager, then gives him the ability to view Jill secretly via her computer and phone. Little does Nick know that he is about to enter a sinister game of cat-and-mouse where nothing-and no one-are what they seem.Described as a 21st Century Rear Window that boasts that it is a unique film that has never been done before. Sadly, it is neither a modern version of a classic nor unique. Yes, voyeurism links both films, but really, that's where the similarities end for me. However, that does not necessarily make this a bad film. In fact, it's pretty a compelling thriller for the first two acts, and then it loses its steam and plausibility by the third act as it takes on an unnecessary Science Fiction element that makes it go a little over the top in my opinion and kind of slightly spoils the ending and the film overall. Although I had a good time watching it. Woods and Grey performances are good, although the former comes off a little pathetic and easily to manipulated at times. Which makes it hard to root for him as he keeps making one bad decision after the next. This isn't a must watch movie for me, but if you do watch it, then I think you will have a good time too. Just don't go into it thinking it's a 21st Century Rear Window because it's not.

Wizard-8 In yet another case of filmmaking coincidence, "Open Windows" shares the same idea as another movie made around the same time ("Unfriended") - that idea being a "live" (or "real time") movie seen almost entirely through computer screens. This effort goes a step further by eventually getting the characters out and moving around, which I admit does help prevent the movie from getting tedious. There are certainly some creepy and suspenseful moments, though I have to admit I found them mostly in the first half of the movie. Eventually, the movie gets really hard to swallow, with some really unbelievable revelations and actions by the various characters. And when you start to think about the movie after watching it, you'll be able to realize some additional plot holes. Also, the French accents of several characters are so thick that their dialogue is really hard to make up at times. Despite these problems, I admit that I was never bored by the movie, but all the same I felt unsatisfied at its end. "Unfriended" did it better despite being cheaper and less elaborate.

JoeyCunninghamLennox I was attracted to this movie after hearing a brief description of format. The entire movie is seen via a laptop screen the central character web-chats and inadvertently spies on others via surveillance cameras and other technological methods which do not necessarily exist yet.This sci-fi aspect to the movie is probably my biggest quarrel with the movie. Though the technology was not so far-fetched as to be difficult to comprehend, I felt that it was a bit of a cheap considering the challenge the writer set himself in making a feature length movie observes exclusively through a monitor. Maybe it's my fault for going into the movie with this idea in my head, but I would have much preferred to see how a story can be told in this way without having to complicate things with technology which is currently beyond us. The movie is commendable for its invention and there are some genuinely tense and exciting scenes, in particular the car chase/getaway scenes which given the way the movie was shot, are unlike any other you may have seen before. Considering the prominence of web-chatting in many of our daily lives, I think there is room for others to attempt something else using this format. I would love to see some form of intense drama unfold using only Skype conversations and private messages - perhaps something reminiscent of the way this was successfully done entirely through a car telephone in Locke.
