  • Sci fi movie where people disappear

    Ok, I give up... gonna ask a friend

    Looking for a movie I saw, basically about a group of college kids, vaguely think it may have something to do with a website. anyhoo, over time more and more people start
    disappearing, halfway through they start to realize what's happening and try to warn people, can't remember what happens in the end, tried looking for it several times...

    it isn't the movie "Vanishing on 7th street" tho it is kinda similar with folk vanishing LOL

    Any ideas folks??

    Sounds a bit like "Don't Blink", but that was only around 8 years ago, so may be too recent for your missed memory.

      Sounds to me like Lynda LaPlante's "KillerNet" from the mid 90s, set in Brighton and starring [among others] Jason Orange as the local shady drug dealer.

      Not a bad miniseries- although what's most incredible when you view it now, however [other than Mr Orange's , ahem, "acting skills", of course] is precisely how much suspicion the web was held in back then. Especially given how these days, it's part and parcel of our very lives. I mean, here we are now, on this site, using it as a means of talking about this very subject!! But in the 90s, it still scared people- I remember huge walls of graffiti in Clerkenwell/Finsbury where I lived at the time daubed with the slogan "log off, live life", my boss on pirate radio [who now posts on FB every day] referred to it as the "internerd" and couldn't possibly see how it could aid him in his broadcasting, and punk rockers The Vibrators were expressing their concerns in a song called "Killer On The Internet" A TOTALLY different world. No wonder LaPlante herself saw it as ideal subject matter for her latest enterprise.

        Nope and nope, thanks guys, but nah, deffo a movie and people disappearing more and more as the movie progresses, I think these were students that were picking up on something was going on, one clip you see loads of folk going to school (I remember it being grey like overcast weather) the next time you see the same clip but fewer people, and later with same again, still have gut feeling it was something to do with internet and people were committing suicide maybe?

        hmm, away to google people committing suicide after visiting a webpage now LOL
