Searclight Pictures landed U.S. rights to “Monitor,” from filmmakers Matt Black and Ryan Polly, following the horror movie’s buzzy SXSW debut.
The premise of the movie hinges on this question: “What if the worst thing on the internet wasn’t meant to be seen?” The story follows as a demonic entity that stalks social media content moderators after they block a disturbing video that pops up online. Despite their efforts, a synopsis teases, “something begins to spread — moving from screen to screen and targeting anyone who watches. No escape. No warning. Once you’ve seen it… it’s already too late.”
