SEVERAL college kids stop going to lectures and are not seen in person for days by their friends, only communicating through texts or emails.

When their buddies do eventually catch up with them they are shadows of their former selves, have lost the will to live and eventually kill themselves.

It seems the dead have found a new way of getting to the living through man's best friend, modern technology.

Anyone in the area with a mobile phone or computer is vulnerable prey.

What's good about this film is the male and female leads who survive the carnage realise there is very little they can do to control what's going on so we don't have to sit through any feeble hatching of plots to combat the ghosts.

What's not good about this film is pretty much every other element of it. The acting is quite uninspiring, the horror itself would be hard pushed to scare a young child and the script seems to get bored with itself halfway through.

Although not a totally dreadful film, there are really far too few chills or thrills to keep an audience engaged.
