directed by Chris Crow
UK 2011
Four users of the social
networking site All2gether.com - single mother JO (Scarlet Alice
Johnson, THE REEDS), nerdy Max (Jack Gordon,
FISH TANK), trendy Gwen (Elen Rhys, SEASON OF THE
WITCH), and obnoxious Dave (Michael Jibson,
THE BANK JOB) - have won a trip on a private jet from
London to New York, with the chance for more prizes if they play
the special game devised by their host - voiced by Joshua
Richard (TROY),
who only appears as a talking alligator on video touchscreens at
their seats. The first round is a quiz which asks each of them
questions related to things posted on their profile, but the
host reveals that he knows more about them than they think and
exposes Dave as a cheat, Gwen as a hypocrite, Max as a stalker,
and Jo as an alcoholic who desensitizes herself both in the
virtual and real worlds. The next round of the game exposes
their online behavior from contradictory statements to
disturbing viewing habits. When the four decide they no longer
want to play the game, the host reveals that forfeiture of the
game means the forfeiture of the lives of people on their friend
lists (with live video of their gory deaths). The four are
unable to gain access to the cockpit or internet access to call
for help (their attempts lead to more deaths) and they soon
discover that the plan is scheduled for another destination
entirely. "Alligator" then separates them and challenges each to
personal tasks with the lives of each of their loved ones - Jo's
daughter, Dave's fiancée, Max's brother, and Gwen's sister -
dependent on their success without arousing the suspicion of the
others. Paranoia sets in as at least one of them is not who s/he
says they are and another has been ordered to kill one of their
number to save those that they love. |
