“Catfish” is a movie about a guy and his relationship with a girl he met over the internet. He lives with his brother and friend who are both filmmakers. They decide to make a film about his relationship. This may not sound like a very intriguing premise, but don’t let it fool you--the last forty minutes of the film are easily some of the most unsettling footage you will see for some time.
I am aware that now I have told you this you will try and think of every possible way this movie could end. After a few minutes of brief thought you will just give up and look it up on the internet. But, for the few people that don’t do this and decide not to ruin the movie for themselves, I will say this: the movie does a great job of sucking the viewer in, and when the plot does start to thicken, it takes every twist and turn very smoothly and creates a great atmosphere.
So, in the end, “Catfish” is an unconventional movie that leads to an unsuspecting and deeply unsettling conclusion that will keep the audience thinking over the shocking outcome that they have just seen.
3 out of 4 stars
