Technology in horror films is becoming increasingly more common. It’s only natural I suppose. Technology is everywhere, and it’s something that almost everyone can relate to; especially a big nerdy bastard like myself.

That’s why I-Lived [REVIEW] is so appealing to me. It looks fun; like a big melting pot of Unfirended meets South Park’s Human Cent-iPad. It appears to use conventional filming methods along with a few found footage shots to boot. Throw in some comedy and violence, and we may have ourselves a winner. Did I mention it’s from the guy that directed the Maniac remake? Yeah…

XLrator Media will be releasing i-LIVED on DVD August 11, 2015.

Josh Fosse is a 20-something guy whose life is going nowhere. His girl left, his rent is late, and he lacks a real job. He is trying to make it as an app reviewer online and decides to review a self help app called i-Lived for fun. He’s signs on and immediately his life turns around. He meets the girl of his dreams and he gets a job offer he can’t refuse. Convinced it’s him and not the app, he signs out… and loses everything. He signs on again but this time the terms are different, the app is asking him to do things that are out of his moral comfort zone… but essential to becoming the success the app tells him he can be.
