Of course, the internet is a great way to hunt down the person you have a crush on, or are obsessed with and see their every move – and this is exactly what Nick (Elijah Wood) does when it comes to porn-star, turn actress Jill Goddard (Sasha Grey). When he is lucky enough to win a date with his dream woman, he is let down by her having to cancel for some unknown reason. Nick then receives a call from her so-called publicist inviting him to watch her every move via web-cam. Why would you say no, if you were their biggest fan? It is then revealed that this man is a complete psycho named Chord (Neil Maskell) and certainly not the publicist he claimed to be. The premise sounds exciting enough but are we sure that Frodo possesses the skills in order to save the girl? After all he only seemed to specialise in destroying jewellery and a light football rioting. Who knows he may just surprise us. The cast also consists of the director himself, alongside Ivan Gonzalez and Rachel Arieff.
