| violence |
Scenes of physical and psychological torment/humiliation, disturbing images, infrequent gory images, scenes of suicide.
The entire movie takes place on a Skype call on teenagers' computers. This creates a very eerie and realistic feeling.
The narrative occurs in the aftermath of a young woman's suicide, following her victimization by 'cyber bullies' who spread a video depicting her unconscious at a party where she urinated and defecated in her clothes. The trauma caused by her bullying led to her apparent suicide, and forms the method with which the protagonists are then tormented, resulting in instances of seemingly forced suicide.
There are occasional brief scenes of strong violence, including a suicide by shooting, a stabbing, a scene in which a woman has a burning object protruding from her mouth, and a sequence in which a man's hand is mutilated in a food blender.
The film begins with the Live Leak video depicting the suicide of a teenage girl who at the high school on it's basketball courts fires upon herself at gross point blank range with a pistol, a brief blurred spray of blood is visible.

| frightening |
Very strong threat and menace, strong psychological horror.
The entire film follows the mature themes of cyberbullying, suicide, and betrayal. The fact that it takes place entirely on a computer screen makes the film more realistic and gritty.
A teen girl is briefly seen being possessed by an unseen force moments before she dies by having a curling iron activated in her mouth. Her scream is very disturbing and the glitch makes it even more frightening.
A teen boy shows a teen girl a website about receiving messages from the dead. Some of the content on the website is quite disturbing and might give viewers nightmares as it looks very realistic.
There is a jump scare at the end of the movie where a demon-like ghost of a teen girl who committed suicide one year earlier emerges out of nowhere to kill the main protagonist.
MPAA/USA - Rated R for violent content, pervasive language, some sexuality, and drug and alcohol use - all involving teens.
