This has to be another case of having something on my watch list for so long that I forgot why it was there in the first place. Most likely it was because my favouritism of horror moods based on mood and atmosphere.

So this is about a teenage girl who becomes aware of an online game We're All Going to the World's Fair. However what originally seems like something fun eventually becomes sinister. 
Now one might think that such a description would sound like a fascinating elevator pitch. But the end result doesn't quite resemble a horror movie. Sure there is a mood of dread throughout and there are some jump scares but they are few and far between. 
No, this movie is more about a teenager who is chronically online and trying to find meaning in a life spent in social isolation, whilst fighting a losing battle with multiple demons. 

An unexpected outcome? Of course. Does it work? 
Certainly there are some scares and I will acknowledge that this movie does an effective job of portraying someone's mental decline. So much so, I would hesitate to call this a horror movie. 
Still, it does what it does.
