peachtellsyouwhattowatch A Teenager gets hacked and extorted by a stranger via her own computer. Now she has to cope with his moods and prevent her own calumny. This short film started accidentally after another YouTube-Video I watched about the issue of cyperbullying. Right since the first second I simply could not stop watching this movie. The tension, the setting, the music, and especially Maisie Williams impressing acting skills got my eyes glued to the screen from beginning to end. It was so enthralling!!! I have never experienced something like that before. Just watch it and not only get an original view on cyberbullying but also one hour of pure suspense.

Rich Wright An hour long TV special, and featuring my favourite actress from Game Of Throne (Maisie Williams) this is a gripping drama about a very contentious issue... Online bullying. When does is a bit of playful banter on the Internet turn into harmful abuse, which can lead to depression, cutting... Even suicide? The line is a very blurry one... And the effect of it can depend very much on the individual targeted. Some are just naturally susceptible to the trolls... Maybe they've had difficult upbringings, or are extra sensitive to criticism. The wise ones would just roll their eyes, ignore the meaningless jibes and tell someone... But of course, not everyone is that strong, or wise. Whatever the reason, if you persistently target someone online with insults and name calling, there is something very wrong with you.Casey, the girl played by Maisie, is a bit of a troll herself... Mocking girls online for their dubious singing talents, accusing some of her friends of being gay behind their back, etc. Now, she is well and truly the victim... Trapped all by herself in her bedroom, while a hacker, who has somehow gained access to her harddrive, webcam AND phone, threatens to post explicit images of her he's stolen on Twitter... Unless she sit down, and do EXACTLY what he says. She's already on medication for depression due to her mother leaving... And this will factor heavily in the nerve wracking finale.Filmed entirely in the constraints of just this one room, Cyberbully successfully keeps you glued to the screen with it's slowly escalating horror... Aside from the parts where it becomes unbearable to watch, such as when our hacker decides to leak personal videos of Casey's to all her mates which basically insult and ridicule them. You may think this is a healthy dose of karma for her... Until you realise, this self proclaimed 'helper of victims of cyber bullying' is just as bad himself, for doing exactly the same thing he alleges he defends against (Only to a FAR more extreme level). This fact becomes more and more clear as the ordeal goes on.Maisie Williams is brilliant as the girl caught up in all this, expressing a wide range of emotions and winning my sympathy. She may be a bit of a b*tch by laughing and posting comments about those who might be less fortunate or more deluded than she is... But, so what? Everyone who's EVER watched a reality telly show, or seen some drunken weirdo stumbling down the street has had those thoughts at some stage or another... Why should SHE be the one singled to receive this loser's punishment?! I think the perpetrator of the crime is just using these incidents to manipulate her. Robin Hood, he ain't.Thought provoking, nerve jangling, Bite-your-nails-to-the-bone type 'fun'. 7/10

texxas-1 Basically it was an hour and a half of a girl arguing with a computer! I was really disappointing that at the end we never got to find out who her bully was, we never got to see him he was just a machine! I really wanted to know did he know her? Why was he bullying her. What did he look like? Why did he want her to overdose? The only good thing about this show was at the end when she tells him when she stops talking to him hes a nothing then slams her computer off and leaves. The whole thing was really spooky the way she just holed herself up in her room and didn't escape and see her dad when he kept calling her. And I cant believe she took the damn pills and nearly killed herself just because he told her to! Whats more I cant believe she was stupid enough to debate with him for all that time and not just turn the computer off!

markgorman An outstanding performance by Maisie Williams (I don't know her from Game of Thrones but if she's as good on that as she is here it must be worth watching).She singlehandedly carries a one hour drama about cyber bullying drawn from real world examples. It dramatically personifies the impact of trolling in teenage circles and turns Maisie's own trolling on its head through the use of a hacker who communicates directly with her in her bedroom and plays the role of a modern St Peter at the pearly gates holding a mirror up to her misdemeanours.The film has many twists and turns and can never be predicted. It's a tough role for a young actor to carry off but she succeeds with flying colours.The lessons are clear and powerful. That's why it should be shown in social education classes to demonstrate the extremes that trolling can get to.
