Interesting little chiller thriller from the Dutch. Katja Herbers plays Femke Boot, a famous journalist with lots of enemies. One of these at the start seems to be rival Steven Dood (Bram van der Kelen), but he says it's all a game. Femke gets more annoyed by the insults and death threats on social media so she starts going after the trolls with increasingly bloody scenes. The police have no idea who the culprit is but Femke's daughter thinks it is Dood. But although he looks creepy he's a red herring. Herbers is excellent as Boot, a nice person driven to murder by reading to many comments on social media, whether she got away with is unknown at the end of the movie.
