Basically an Alex van Warmerdam film if he didn't know how to make a movie. It's too on the nose and lacking in subtlety to work as a black comedy/satire, it's too repetitive, surface level and poorly written to work as a drama about internet trolling and it's not over the top enough to work as a horror comedy. It somewhat feels like a product of the _Succession_ era in the sense that every character is various degrees of unlikeable, but this film would be so much more interesting if the main character and daughter were written like sympathetic characters. We should be rooting for the protagonist, that's what makes a genre like this interesting and fun. On top of that it also gets way too stupid at points (e.g. how is she tracking all these people down?; the police aren't noticing the connective tissue between the people being killed?), I feel like the directing and Herbers' acting should've done a much better job at bringing out the absurdity. Technically, it's not very interesting either. The sound mix is actually pretty decent for a Dutch production, but visually it's drab and lacking in personality. A key scene taking place at night looked particularly underlit, this is where you really start to feel its tv budget. There's some decent edits here and there, other times I was left wondering what the filmmaker's trying to communicate. Overall, a pretty major failure that feels written and made by people with a lack of experience.
