Selfie from Hell
[3/26] I watched "Selfie from Hell" (2018) thanks to Showtime Beyond Thursday evening. I tell you, after last night's series of shorts from ShortsTV, I could tell that just applying any passion that often comes with write-ups I have was nil. And yet I still write. I don't even know the fuck why. I just do. "Selfie from Hell" features Hannah (Alyson Walker) trying to investigate why her cousin, Julia (Meelah Adams) has fallen ill and seemingly comatose. This takes her into the dark web, into a "Black Room" where she encounters a bald creep with rodent teeth sending her "13 selfies" of a hanging victim that seems to send a type of possession. When you see all 13 there is no escape from this "unfathomable evil". Hannah has an internet friend, Trevor (Tony Giroux), with a crush on her, very tech saavy, with a firm grasp and knowledge of the dark web/net and what it can produce if you give up too much personal information. Plenty of figures in the dark or in the corners of a cell screen when selfies are snapped. 75 minutes is quite a short (but welcome) running time. Walker is a pretty blonde who isn't hard to follow for the running time although I figure viewers will be screaming at her for going down the rabbit hole when only darkness awaits her. It got rather confusing for me personally, particularly at the end when Trevor and Hannah eventually locate the source of the evil goings-on. 1.5/4
