Who hasn't looked at something they shouldn't have online?
This new British horror film takes a look at the murky world of online voyeurism and the deadly consequences for four young people who are invited to take part in a gameshow centred on social media.
The theme of social media (eg. Facebook, Twitter etc) is well known to almost everybody and so you might recognise something of yourself in some of the characters in this film (though it might be hard to admit!). I can see this theme being increasingly popular and this is a pretty good stab(!) at the idea.
The film is well acted, has good pace and some genuinely shocking moments. It took a little while to get going, but the talky stuff is interesting at least.
I highly recommend this film to fans of horror, though it may make you wary of going online again!

If you've ever thought twice about posting something on Twitter or Facebook, then this is the film for you. Unfortunately most people don't, and these are the ones that need to see this scary Brit shocker the most. I live by the online credo of never put anything online that you wouldn't want read back to you in a court room, but even I can see how my online live could affect me like the characters in this film.
The plot is simple, 4 social network people win a trip to New York via an all together social network site (think Facebook). On the small plane on the way over, the actual intentions of the trip are laid bare as the characters have their online life thrown back in the face and are given increasingly horrible tasks to do lest their family members get killed. From there it's a quick decent into the depths people will stoop to when it's to save themselves and their families.
The violence is nasty when it comes, but the main driver of this film is the characters on screen. At first they all seem pleasant nice people you wouldn't mind socialising with, but as it progresses, we quickly see this is not the case. It's quite a cerebral film, and despite its claustrophobic setting, the quality of the performances really carry the action along. If only more modern horror films had this level of character depth and story.
If you liked this film then Panic Button's director Chris Crow's first feature film Devil's Bridge [DVD] is out soon. It's a lot in the same vein as this, small simple story with a great cast. I think he is definitely an exciting new UK director, making classy films for us jaded and fed up fans of horror sick on CGI glossy horror 'product' that seldom satisfies.

2 stars for the concept. But was it actually worthy of my time - to spend an hour and a half up in the air with these 4 people. Hummm...probably not, but heck I stuck with it - it slows down a little midway - what film doesnt! - but the difference is...it slows down and your not really caring too much..hence finger hovers over the switch back to tv button.
But give it it's credit, acting was good, it did have some good things to say about social networking today - and certainly was a good homage to the first couple of Saw movies. The pilot scenerio didn't quite work for me - even though his backstory literally could of come from a Saw movie.
Didn't like the ending. Strayed a little too much into darker territory. Not that I expected a rose-tinted End of course.
Not a bad effort overall though. Rare these British movies particularly horror genre so nice to see a half decent one with a uptodate idea for a change.

An utterly appalling film. I can only assume that the overly positive reviews are from people with a vested interest; naughty naughty! Read more

Terrifying
Panic button is an extremely tense psychological horror.
It is certainly unique in every respect and constantly surprises the viewer.
Excellent film a must see.
