Chatroom

Synopsis

Five teenagers meet online and encourage each other's destructive behaviour. But things get out of hand when the charismatic and manipulative William targets the unstable Jim. Chatroom is a high-concept thriller-drama, combining the mounting tension of Disturbia with the razor-sharp observations of a generation as seen in Trainspotting.
