Trivia[edit]

This film has an easter egg to unfriended, another film shot from the perspective of a computer screen. Wasn't sure exactly where that would go on the page. Daleylife (talk) 05:43, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Model or waitress?[edit]

Does David contact the model of the stock photo, or the waitress in Pittsburgh Robert was pretending to be? He called and said something about "you were on your shift," which doesn't sound like modeling, and I thought Vick said she had contacted a restaurant in Pittsburgh earlier.

He contacted the model. There is no waitress. Vick lied. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 07:18, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. My memory may fail me, ~~but I seem to recall he called the model, who was working as a waitress.~~ Actually Abelhawk's version sounds right. "fish_n_chips" (Robert) was pretending to be a waitress in Pittsburgh, and Robert used a stock photo of a model as the image. There was no real waitress, but that was the identity chosen by Robert for fish_n_chips. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 14:57, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Found footage?[edit]

Dispute the categorization Category:Found footage films. Although I recognized the structural similarities, there is no "found footage" and there is no reference supporting the claim. Also, in "See also", there's too much "this movie kind of reminded me of these unrelated movies...", particularly Hardcore (1979 film). Ribbet32 (talk) 22:46, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Production Costs[edit]

I suspect that the production cost of this movie was quite low, but have been unable to find any reference to its cost. I think it would be very interesting to compare this cost/profit ration to The Blair Witch Project, which is the last movie that I can think of that might compare in this way. I'm no industry expert, just what came to mind. Kellycoinguy (talk) 09:06, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Word choice[edit]

While I appreciate the plot section being edited to be more concise, some choices to try and reduce character count were unnecessary: Peter and Margot were probably not having an affair, as neither of them are revealed to have significant others; also, the conflict in the plot is not raised by their betrayal of nonexistent SOs, but by the fact that it is a) a sexual relationship between an adult and a child and b) incest. Raindoggo (talk) 12:30, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, whats with this arbitrary rewording and removing of hyperlinks: livestreaming to vlogging, and the removal of the mention of a stock photograph? Being that these concepts are integral to the plot of the story, removing them just makes the plot summary more confusing. Raindoggo (talk) 12:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should the section on the sequel be augmented with any new material[edit]

assuming that the sequel referred to in 2018 is the film Missing? ELSchissel (talk) 19:57, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
