And it seems that Hollywood is catching on to the creepiness of this digital age. Following the success of Smile, the same production team is gearing up for a new horror film called Monitor, which has a premise that will send a shiver down your spine, particularly if you\u2019ve ever found yourself in the strange world of internet moderation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"83\" data-end=\"551\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"589\">A New Take on Social Media Horror<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"1004\">The idea of <em data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"612\">Monitor<\/em> fits neatly into a subgenre of horror films that explore the darker side of the internet and social media\u2014a genre that\u2019s been growing in popularity over the past few <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/32-years-after-his-screen-debut-guess-whos-now-a-top-french-actor\/\">years<\/a><\/strong>. Films like <em data-start=\"797\" data-end=\"809\">Unfriended<\/em>, <em data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"824\">Follow_Dead<\/em>, and <em data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"847\">Friends Request<\/em> have already explored the chilling potential of our online lives, but <em data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"927\">Monitor<\/em> takes it a step further with a more specific focus: social media moderation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1510\">In a way, it&#8217;s easy to imagine how this concept could unfold. Just think about the bizarre, often dark things that circulate on Twitter or Instagram. It\u2019s only a matter of time before someone decides to turn this into an even more terrifying concept, blending horror with the omnipresent fears and challenges we face online. Scrolling through social media, it\u2019s easy to see how such a dystopian reality could be the next <em data-start=\"1427\" data-end=\"1441\">Black Mirror<\/em> episode, and <em data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1464\">Monitor<\/em> is set to tap into this unsettling potential.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1510\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Widescreen-is-just-a-bunch-of-wet-blankets.jpg\" alt=\"Widescreen is just a bunch of wet blankets\" width=\"1200\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Widescreen-is-just-a-bunch-of-wet-blankets.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Widescreen-is-just-a-bunch-of-wet-blankets-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Widescreen-is-just-a-bunch-of-wet-blankets-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Widescreen-is-just-a-bunch-of-wet-blankets-768x442.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1542\">A Demonic Entity Takes Over<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"2229\">As reported by <em data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1569\">Deadline<\/em>, the team behind <em data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1594\">Smile<\/em> and its sequel, including Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, and John Fischer of Temple Hill Entertainment, is behind this chilling new project. In <em data-start=\"1735\" data-end=\"1744\">Monitor<\/em>, the plot revolves around a group of social media moderators who refuse to publish a disturbing video that goes against their platform\u2019s guidelines. And as you can probably guess, this decision doesn\u2019t go over well. A malevolent, demonic <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/iconic-creature-returns-to-cinema-after-102-years-scarier-than-ever\/\">creature <\/a><\/strong>begins to torment and stalk each moderator, using the screens they encounter in their everyday lives as portals to invade their world. The creature feeds off their fear, slowly inching closer to its goal: escaping from the screen itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2231\" data-end=\"2825\">This premise bears a striking resemblance to the <em data-start=\"2280\" data-end=\"2286\">Ring<\/em> franchise, particularly the vengeful spirit Sadako Yamamura from the 1998 Japanese horror classic. Much like Sadako, this demonic entity uses the power of the screen to control its victims, making the digital world both a space of horror and an endless cycle of dread. What\u2019s especially eerie about this concept is how it mixes an age-old supernatural force with the very real fear many of us have of what lies behind the digital curtain\u2014whether it\u2019s cyberbullying, the spread of harmful content, or the invasiveness of modern technology.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2231\" data-end=\"2825\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3646 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Brittany-OGrady-in-the-movie-Inside-Game.jpg\" alt=\"Brittany O\u2019Grady in the movie Inside Game\" width=\"1200\" height=\"722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Brittany-OGrady-in-the-movie-Inside-Game.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Brittany-OGrady-in-the-movie-Inside-Game-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Brittany-OGrady-in-the-movie-Inside-Game-1024x616.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawsachunnews.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Brittany-OGrady-in-the-movie-Inside-Game-768x462.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2827\" data-end=\"3159\">The film is being written and directed by Ryan Polly and Matt Black, who are making their feature film debut with <em data-start=\"2941\" data-end=\"2950\">Monitor<\/em> after having worked on the short film of the same name. The pair&#8217;s transition from short to feature film shows promise, and fans of modern horror are certainly intrigued by what they might bring to the table.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3161\" data-end=\"3194\">A Strong Cast Leads the Charge<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3196\" data-end=\"3645\">As for the cast, Brittany O\u2019Grady\u2014known for her role in <em data-start=\"3252\" data-end=\"3269\">The White Lotus<\/em> as Paula\u2014joins the project in an undisclosed role, though it\u2019s safe to assume she\u2019ll be one of the moderators who becomes a target of the demon. O\u2019Grady\u2019s impressive portfolio includes appearances in <em data-start=\"3470\" data-end=\"3487\">Black Christmas<\/em> and <em data-start=\"3492\" data-end=\"3505\">Inside Game<\/em>, and she is also set to appear in another horror film, <em data-start=\"3561\" data-end=\"3575\">In Our Blood<\/em>, where she plays a filmmaker dealing with a mysterious disappearance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3647\" data-end=\"4128\">The premise of <em data-start=\"3662\" data-end=\"3671\">Monitor<\/em> is certainly intriguing, and with the growing fascination surrounding social media&#8217;s impact on mental health and society, the film seems poised to capture the imagination of audiences. As our online lives continue to grow more immersive\u2014and sometimes terrifying\u2014films like <em data-start=\"3945\" data-end=\"3954\">Monitor<\/em> will likely find a place in the genre of social media horror. It\u2019s clear that the potential for stories that blur the lines between digital and physical realms is limitless.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4130\" data-end=\"4444\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">While we don\u2019t have an official release date for <em data-start=\"4179\" data-end=\"4188\">Monitor<\/em> just yet, the anticipation is already building. It\u2019s safe to say that if you\u2019re a fan of <strong data-start=\"4278\" data-end=\"4301\">supernatural horror<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"4306\" data-end=\"4328\">digital-age terror<\/strong>, this one is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
