[LEVEL UP opens
in Akron on Friday August 26th exclusively at The Nightlight Cinema.]
Review by Bob Ignizio
Technology, particularly a technology as ubiquitous as the
internet has become, has a tendency to engender fear in those who see its
potential for misuse. That fear, in turn, is often channeled into works of art,
including, of course, the movies. That's certainly been borne out by the volume
of internet-inspired horror films and cautionary tales, among them DISCONNECT, UNFRIENDED, THE DEN, and
FEARDOTCOM. Only time will tell whether these films turn
out to be prescient or quaintly laughable. In the meantime, director/co-writer Adam
Randall gives us another film reflecting the anxieties of our modern age in LEVEL UP.
