TheLittleSongbird Was drawn into seeing 'Selfie from Hell' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. 'Selfie from Hell' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better, can't say that it is a great film because it isn't. It is not a terrible film though, as far as recent low-budget film viewings go it's one of the lacklustre but watchable ones easily. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and terrible at worst.Although 'Selfie from Hell' is far from great and could have been much better, will agree who consider the rating too low. Have seen far worse films recently that have a higher rating, for example a few irredeemably awful films that get around 4.4.Lets start with the positives. The setting is atmospheric and spooky and 'Selfie from Hell' is surprisingly well shot and easy on the eye, was expecting a cheap looking film and to me that wasn't the case here.'Selfie from Hell's' at least doesn't have one want to tear their hair out or annoyed. There are suspenseful and creepy moments and there are parts that capture the horror of this very dangerous subject very well. Albeit, it could have explored the subject more. It could have been more enlightening and said more of what was not already known. The creepiness is not sustained all the way through, with the horror and tension giving away later to dullness and a lack of creativity and shocks. Things start not making much sense and gets silly. The acting is not amateurish as such but is uninspired.Further issues are that it was clear that it was written in haste. There is a very rushed and careless feel to the story, especially in the second half where confusion and choppy can be found, and the underdeveloped and scrappy script likewise. The characters are flimsily developed and bland, the direction lacks focus and the music is far too intrusive, sounds cheap and irritating.In conclusion, lacklustre but not a waste of time. 4/10 Bethany Cox

iamtherobotman Well, I just watched this and I regret having done so. Premise is quite interesting and that about sums up the positives of this film.The negatives? Well, pretty much everything else. They took so many Horror tropes and jam packed them into this mess of a film using the same trope countless times.1 The overly vague responses when a simply clear explanation would be so much easier.2 The Jump scare( or attempted jump scare) ranging from a face suddenly appearing to a phone suddenly ringing directly afterwards.3 Walking around in the dark needlessly and particularly when freaky stuff is going on in your house4 The score - once more the score made up of shrill sharp earache inducing nonsense just took over the vast majority of scenes.5 The false happy ending...I could go on with this but I think my point has been made. In fairness the acting wasn't atrocious, it wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination but I have seen worse.All in all, not a good film, not worth the watch unless you're totally new to the genre and fancy being put off Horror for ever.

glittermatch .Really horrible in every regard, from the terrible score to the painfully bad acting. I dont wish this 'waste of my time" movie on anyone, lest it be someone that has no concept of what a well concieved and thoughtfully made movie is. This was neither.

ops-52535 I might as well admit it, i'm too old for crap like this.it is all about the dangers of cyberspace,selfie selfishness,hyperactive cathatonism,supersticous e.mails,TOR,darkweb ,sosiophathy from living a social life on the internet and all the means that have emerged from science since i passed my learning ''phase of life''. the acting are decent,the music very well used,some jolts of horror were present,thanks to the score,but the story and plot must have been made while under the influence of psychoactive drugs,its based on lsd hallusinations,and rythm of ecstasy. it is a 4'er under doubt,and no more than that. kids will love it,and hopefully not copycat it.
