When Hana (Sasha Luss), a professional gamer who suffers from acute agoraphobia, is asked to trial sophisticated new gaming equipment which uses AI to interpret the electrical activity of her brain, she sees an opportunity to enhance her game. As Hana and her best friend Jen (Alexis Ren) experiment with this new technology, the line between reality and Hana's subconscious quickly begins to blur and she starts to wonder if the device is helping her or serving a more sinister force.

‘Latency’ is slow, unduly melodramatic, and the characters are bland as can be.

3.5/5

Latency manages to succeed in creating a daunting thriller, which is not only enjoyable but unpredictable. If you’re looking for something intense but not too scary, Latency is the ideal watch.

Latency takes a potentially solid idea for a thriller (a virtual reality gamer begins to lose her sanity) and makes it an incoherent, boring mess. It's hard to take this psychological movie seriously when it's so stupid. The acting is also horrendous.

While the style and tone evoke real vision, the film arrives as lifeless and cold.

3/5

The film is decent, but it’s missing something, it straddles the line between good and bland and the uncut or R-rated cut may very well fix this, but who knows if we’ll ever see it.

Latency, if not entirely original in style or flawless in its crowd-pleasing, is an imaginative, trippy, and modest indie that resists aesthetic overindulgence or perplexing rhetorical angles.

Latency was memorable and unique. I really enjoyed the visual fx and the sound effects work and the lead actress really carried the film.

I wish there had been more of an explanation for the main character's agoraphobia. It was almost painfully slow. Matching her deterioration, her further descent into madness, and adding the somewhat confusing narrative, the ending made me wonder if she acquired some kind of technologically facilitated superpower... the final scream reminded me of Black Canary in the DC Comics world, but did it really happen or was that all in her mind? What was real, and what wasn't? Was that the point? I think it was a good idea, but got somewhat jumbled up in its execution. Nevertheless, it was sci-fi and we lovers of sci-fi will watch just about anything with that label. SMH-IDK-WTF sums things up in texting shorthand.

Watched on a plane. Some elements really quite good, agoraphobia, gaming etc. The "horror" element just about makes sense, but could have been storied better. Ok movie, better than some of the modern slop out there.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Once again, I'm seeing lackluster reviews from people both on IMDB and RT. I thought it was scary, with a twist I didn't see coming. I recommend it.
