About This Movie

So, 'Selfie' is one of those horror flicks that plays with our obsession with social media. It starts off pretty innocuous, but it quickly turns unsettling as this woman starts seeing a creepy figure in her selfies. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing keeps you on edge without going overboard. It has a raw feel, perhaps due to its practical effects which are surprisingly effective given the budget. The performances are decent, especially the lead, who really captures the spiraling paranoia as she becomes obsessed with uncovering the mystery. What really sticks with you is how it explores the themes of identity and perception, something we all grapple with in the age of the selfie.
