Horror and boredom mingle in director Jane Schoenbrun’s new film about a girl obsessed with an online role-playing game.
, out now, without thinking of Wagner’s videos and the Slenderman stabbing. Director Jane Schoenbrun’s debut feature focuses on a wayward young girl unhealthily obsessed with internet horror lore. The protagonist, Casey , is a teenage loner who starts recording videos of herself participating in an online role-playing game called.
Just like Wagner’s web series, the videos Casey uploads have an unsettling found-footage feel. Watching it feels like slipping into an especially eerie nightmare in which nothing much actually happens but you wake in a cold sweat nonetheless. Casey spends most of her time in her attic bedroom, which is lit up with glow-in-the-dark space stickers and authentically messy; if she’s not there, she’s watching a projector elsewhere on her absent father’s property, or wandering around her forlorn town.
The great trick Schoenbrun plays is getting the audience to fret over Casey. The opening, where Casey stares directly into the camera and invokes whatever spirits are meant to animate the game, is reminiscent not so much of other horror movies but of the opening of Bo Burnham’s gentle coming-of-age tale, which follows another lonely and pubescent kid as she awkwardly tries her hand at vlogging.
