When strangers Jim, Eva, Emily and Mo meet William online in his new 'Chelsea Teens!' chatroom, they're completely seduced by his fast-talking, charismatic character. But beneath the surface lies a much darker truth. William is a dangerous loner, channeling all his energies into cyberspace. He's become an analyser, a calculating manipulator who finds it almost impossible to interact normally with others in the real world, instead turning his hand to manipulating people online.

Reviews

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

WildWombatt I am going to admit that I had high expectations for this movie from reading the short description that it had, one of my favorite actor is in it, and the decent amount of reviews it had.In reality, this movie did not make a great delivery. Sure, the actors and actresses are pretty great in this movie and the story overall is decent... I just didn't feel very captivated with how the movie was portrayed. It wasn't as interesting as I expected it to be. At some points, it seemed as though the movie was all over the place.This movie, I would recommend to watch anyway because I did like the overall message. The way the movie played out just wasn't that entertaining to me though.

Its_Just_Joe Chatroom is a look at the bizarre world of the internet. We are forced to examine the behaviour that we see so often in chatrooms and forums and relate it to real life.In Chatroom, the internet is presented as a building with different rooms representing the different chatrooms available. William (Aaron Johnson) sets up his own chatroom in which four other teenagers soon join. William appears friendly and caring at first, giving his new online friends advice in their personal lives.William makes his chatroom private so that nobody else can join, creating a more concentrated space for advising his online friends. But we learn very quickly that William is not what he seems. As the film flashes between the virtual world and reality, we discover William is very unhappy with his home life and not as normal as we first thought. We also see that William has found a particularly unhealthy hobby. It is at this point that we learn that William has much more serious plans than making friends as he persuades them to do very odd things all the while convincing them that what they are doing is normal.I found this film because I had seen Aaron Johnson in Nowhere Boy and Kickass and was very impressed with him. I found his performance in this a bit hammy at times but it matched the tone of the filmI liked the concept of the film. It was interesting to look at real people behaving the way people do online and showing how odd it is. But I felt the film was a bit over the top. Nakata presents the internet as a dark underworld with people who seem to be obsessed with dark subject matters. I found the hold that the internet has over the teens quite unrealistic and I felt that as the lines between the virtual world and reality became blurred the film started to verge on absurd. The film to me started as a quirky insight into online behaviour but descended into a predictable thrillerBut all in all, the film is quite fun if you don't take it too seriously

waysouthern I can't believe all of the high reviews that people has given this movie. The acting was really good, But the movie was so very drawn out to where it was almost boring.I wanted to turn off the movie several times, But I kept watching it in hopes that it would pick up. But it really never did. I think it would have made a better short film. But that is just my opinion.This movie is NOT a Horror film. So if you are looking for someone to jump out of the closet to scare you, You might want to look else-where.Thats about it with-out going into more details about the movie.
