"Death in the network." The actors of technological horror

"Death in the Network" (actors: M. Papalia, D. Schlachtenhaufen, A. Shapiro, A. M. Holliman) - unpretentious technological horror of the director and co-author of the script Zakhari Donohue. The picture is distinguished by narrative, which is conducted by an unusual video-language, i.е. All that occurs on the screen, the audience demonstrates either CCTV cameras, or cameras of all kinds of gadgets. The reception is not innovative, but it still works.

Creators and timekeeping

For director Zahari Donohue, "Death in the Network" - a film whose actors and roles were selected by personal producer and operator Bernard Hunt, became a debut. But the co-author of the script Lauren Thompson and the performers of the roles of the first plan already had experience working in similar projects, especially Melanie Papalia, who managed to star in the popular series "Supernatural" and "Secrets of Smallville".

The events in the film Donohue begin to develop rapidly from the first minutes of the time - as the celebrated film critics characterized the development of the plot, they did not deny this fact and the actors involved in the shooting. "Death in the network" has an intriguing, good-natured outset, but this is only half the case. Given the fact that the timing of the film is relatively small - 81 minutes, the viewer gives the impression that the creators of interesting ideas end in half an hour after the beginning of the picture.

Plot

The main character - an attractive sociological girl Elizabeth Benton (Melanie Papillia) is working on the study. The essence of the project is important for the concept of the picture "Death in the network." Actors in every way stressed this fact in an interview with the media. The heroine, within the framework of her research, plows the vast spaces of the World Wide Web, focusing her attention on all sorts of video chat. Getting acquainted with anxious adolescents and all kinds of perverts, one day Elizabeth sees an eerie video - a young girl dies on the screen. From the moment of viewing, the life of the heroine changes abruptly, friends and friends, her family and friends are beginning to disappear without a trace; Damien's guy (David Schlachtenhauten), best friend Jenny (Katya Pevek), buddy Max (Adam Shapiro) and even pregnant sister Lynn (Anna Margaret Holliman). This is a brief description of the story presented by Zahari Donohue in the movie Death on the Net. Actors and the role of the film, unfortunately, did not become world-wide after the release of the film in the rental.

Without a single chance

The actors of the film "Death in the Network" did not surprise the audience with their brilliant dramatic talent. Although about what a brilliant acting game you can talk and evaluate, if the format of the horror does not provide a demonstration of their capabilities. The characters of the tape are some wooden-tin, they either just look at the monitor, or they try to portray ordinary everyday life, falling into the frame supposedly by accident. All the emotions of the heroes, according to the author's concept, are hiding behind the semi-darkness or hindrances. Therefore, looking to judge the emotional state of the characters remains only on their own feelings. The director's decision in this respect is not the best for a horror film.

All of them, to the best of their abilities, tried to play naturally and convincingly, depicting hysteria and panic without annoying cries and silly acts.

Recommended for fans of the genre

In details of the denouement and a detailed description of the characteristics of the characters to go without spoiler is impossible. An elegant heap, called the denouement, is hopelessly merged into the culmination moment of the tape Death in the Net. Actors in this are not to blame. It's just that the creators of ideas were enough only for an outset, and hardly having passed beyond the middle, the narrative of the film loses both courage and originality. To recommend horror to viewing follows only to the most devoted fans of the genre, who consider it their duty not to miss a single movie-going movie.
