To be honest, I only watched this movie because of Maisie Williams aka Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. She outclassed her acting skills. She is brilliant in the movie! The film only uses one setting and that is Casey’s bedroom, showing how trapped she becomes because of the hacker. This movie doesn’t have anyone else on screen, the other characters either appear on videos or over instant messaging, each character helps Casey struggle with the next problem in her ordeal with the hacker. This shows just how much of a promising star Maisie Williams is! Cyber bully tells the very true life fact that people out there will react negatively to material on the internet, while we realize how some comments are just on the mean side, we also see how others are planned to attack a particular person. We see how the consequences of such a single small, insignificant comment could lead to much more serious comments that have the power to change people. The story shows how easy it is to get affected on the internet and how easy it is to become the victim. The film tells us how vile people can be, showing a very true warning. My only concern is, that it is the warning that young people should be seeing rather than the program, which can be focused on later. Because once you are old enough to realize that people can be just deleted, blocked and not everyone’s opinion matters, you can ignore them. This really was one of the best independent movies I have seen in a long time.
Moral: Don't be harsh on the internet or else you might just end up regretting it later on.
