A solid dark/horror comedy and wow did Joe Kerry really carry the hell out of this one. I enjoyed this quite a bit surprisingly and that is definitely due to his endearing, charismatic performance as a psychopath. It was interesting seeing this guy in this type of role when the only thing I've seen him in is Steve from Stranger Things, but he definitely has enough range and talent to potentially become a great character actor in the near future IMO.

They could have did more with the social media element though and the majority of the supporting characters outside of Sasheer Zamata are really weak, especially David Arquette as the dad, but I found it thoroughly entertaining, especially the deaths which are bloody and actually kind of creative at times which was also pretty amusing.

This black comedy/thriller/horror of a rideshare driver and wannabe social media influencer who’s gone off the deep end in his quest to be noticed tells an effective and energetic tale via smartphones, body cams, car cams, security footage, and the like thanks to a steady hand from director Eugene Kotlyarenko.

Agreed with the comments above its really solid and Joe Kerry is great, a definite must watch actor for future. The deaths are really great but social media aspects weren't featured enough to bring out the fascination of it. It starts really well with the murders but for a little too much in the second half. I still believe Searching is the best of social media horror movies of recent times.
