Social media won’t go away, at least not anytime soon. It’s here to stay and as such will likely remain an ongoing target of cinematic critiques (or rebukes depending on your point of view) for years to come. Films like Unfriended and of course The Social Network turned the spotlight on how harmful the technology can be for so many people. The latest addition to the social-media subgenre of suspense driven thrillers is Nerve, an overtly Nicolas Winding Refn inspired neon drenched tween thriller about an internet based truth-or-dare game divided between players willing to take on the dares enacted by the watchers.
