The opening shot is a pair of vacant eyes and the sound of flatlining. Except Franck Khalfoun's follow-up to Maniac isn't some desperately moody and morose slow-burn horror, but a swift, darkly comic psychological thriller with ultra-modern themes. Khalfoun is writer, editor, producer and director, and his control of the material shows – up to a point, anyway. i-Lived itself is a fictional app designed to help you achieve your life goals. Type in your ambition, and then follow the instructions that the app churns out. It gets into the hands of Josh (Jeremiah Watkins), a tech vlogger who's trying to get his app review show off the ground. His videos are convincingly abrasive, and packed with amusing narrative references which appear goofy but are loaded with relevance ("Are you proud of me, Dad?" He's really not). Josh is shy and awkward IRL but he's confident on camera. When Josh aspires to woo a girl named Greta (Sarah Power), the app advises he learn to cook, dance, read poetry etc. The strongest section of the story is when we watch Josh attempting to manufacture this perfect personality for himself, in order to appeal to his prey. It plays into the solipsistic fantasy that modern technology can evoke. But then the app starts instructing him to perform more sinister, criminal acts. Is Josh a pawn in someone else's sick game? Or is his bona fide shadow side being given an outlet through this virtual observer? The first half of the film contains many thought-provoking ideas. There's something here about the way it is practically possible nowadays to Google-whack our way to social approval. Also, there are themes about online identity: One way to retain and increase popularity, for example, is through increasingly extreme content. It's when Khalfoun segues into horror that his grip on the high concept starts to loosen. Visually the ideas are still there, and there are some half decent sub-Lynchian dream-states. But Khalfoun's attempts at melding fantasy and reality – thus supposedly drawing us into Josh's mental decline – come across as annoyingly muddled more than devilishly ambiguous. Josh himself is well played by Watkins, who in his gawkiness and intensity reminds me of a younger Adrien Brody. It's a classic case of a lead character whom we may not like as such but with whom we can empathise, and a large part of this is thanks to Watkins' performance, which has nuance and range. I was slightly disappointed by the visualisation of the app itself. For something so supposedly cutting edge it looks distinctly cheap and 2000s. Which brings me to a unique added "bonus": You can actually download the i-Lived app to your smartphone, which pings you pop-ups throughout the film. It's an idea which is both neat and alarming; a gimmick specific to this film, one hopes, rather than the future of movie-watching. Perhaps you may feel that i-Lived is worth it simply for this innovative feature. But aside from that, it's a solidly entertaining movie which manages to be both very relevant (in its subject matter) whilst also niche (in its structure and style). Its black humour may not be for everyone, and the drift into surrealism definitely won't be for everyone. But as far as the tech-horror movement goes, it's a fine entry into the canon.

I didn't really know what to expect from a movie such as "I-Lived" prior to sitting down to watch it. All I knew was that it was a horror movie of sorts. Turned out that "I-Lived" was a laughable attempt at making a horror movie and including modern technology as the source of the torment and problems. Did it work? No, not really. Especially, since the movie was slow paced and weighed down by a very stupid storyline. Nor did it help the movie much that the entire character gallery was a heap of characters that were essentially faceless and could all have been played by the same actor or actresses. These were characters that I didn't care one bit about, and it was characters that weren't properly fleshed out in detail, background and motivation. Which, essentially, made the movie somewhat of a drag to sit through. Sure, "I-Lived" did have some potential, but it was just squandered and wasted at the hands of director Franck Khalfoun. This was a boring movie actually, although I managed to endure the ordeal right up to the very end, in the weakening and dying hope that the movie would improve and pick up its pacing along the way. That just never happened. "I-Lived" is a movie that came and went without leaving as much as a scratch. I didn't even know about it before now in mid 2019, when I happened to come across it by sheer random luck. And I can in all honesty say that this is not a movie that I will be watching a second time.

I was a bit skeptical, due to low ratings,but decided to watch as I thought the storyline was interesting. It did not disappoint a bit! The story is unique, the main character is fun to watch as he seems real. We haven't had movies with similar stories for a while and I definitely found this one very interesting. Acting was pretty good too. Maybe not the best,but I've seen much much worse so this was also a plus for the movie. I also liked the camera work. It was slightly different than usual. It almost seemed "modern" and new. Not sure if that makes sense. Overall, I was impressed and I think this movie deserves a really good scores. Certainly there are many blockbusters that don't even have 1/10th of what this movie has. Though I guess in this day and age, people want action and don't want to think and this story makes you think about your actions and consequences.

Cool concept, terrible execution. Bad acting. Bad cinematics. Bad sound direction. Bad atmosphere. Just Bad Overall. Nothing more to say. Don't waste your time. Youtubers don't act like that. Only good scene was sex scene. 2/10.

This was a fantastic concept that was very well executed especially considering you didn't have a huge Hollywood budget. The newcomer cast did a great job building the suspense taking us on an intense journey into a man's Mental unraveling at the hands of this phone app. Watching this film makes us realize how attached we are to our phones, and how we are living as voyeurs watching each other's lives online. Be careful what you wish for and read the user agreement. Great job Franck Khalfoun excellent as always. Rewatch the movie, and watch the videos closely, very creepy stuff. Enjoy!

Like all low budget films, some of the acting is better than others but I felt the main character was very good. The story was interesting and at times very dark. The ending was depressing so don't expect a feel good movie! I did find the part near the end where we had a mix of reality and fantasy, meant to show you his unravelling mind, was a little confusing. But other than this, it was a great idea and well presented. Like I say, I'm not sure why this received such low reviews. I have seen much much worse than this and if you like these clever low budget types of films then watch, you won't regret it.
