This was actually a pretty great film! Kind of a "found footage" type but with livestream instead of recordings. Joe Keery is great and actually makes you feel somewhat sympathetic toward his character, even though he's psychotically killing innocent people. It's kinda like a psychotic version of Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous lol. Recommend, it's a fun watch.
Though the moral of the story ("social media obsession bad") gets a little heavy-handed in places, I thought this was actually a really neat and original film. Joe Keery is fantastic in the lead role, the story kept me guessing, and most importantly, a lot of the social media segments actually did feel like an authentic (albeit satirized) representation of what instagram/reddit/whatever is like today. This may cause the film to feel dated within a few years, but I appreciated that the writers grounded it so firmly in present-day culture, rather than using more generic visuals. Fantastic little 'epilogue', too.
