Parasocial-obsession movies are a glut now. This one beat the trend by a decade — and it gets in, twists the knife, gets out.
A 2014 parasocial-obsession thriller that arrived before the discourse caught up is the prescient kind of pre-pandemic Cam I'd revisit on principle. Curiosity here is high.
Parasocial-obsession drama from 2014 — ahead of the discourse — with the lonely-man-meets-confessional-streamer collapse rendered through stoner-roommate distortions of reality. The protagonist actor sounds like a real find.
Reviews
Impressively getting to the point and getting out.
