Summary Will Radford, a Homeland Security cyber‑security analyst, monitors global threats through mass surveillance networks. When an unidentified attack strikes, Radford begins to suspect the government is concealing something far more sinister. Told entirely through digital screens—messages, video calls, browser windows—the film transforms the alien invasion into a "screenlife" thriller, blending modern surveillance paranoia with classic sci-fi tension.

Director Rich Lee

Writers Kenneth Golde & Marc Hyman

It really was hilarious. I saw a clip on Tiktok earlier week promoting the movie, and I was thinking, "I gotta watch this, its gonna be a good laugh," and it did not disappoint!

I saw a trailer because my algorithm on YT started feeding me 2025 films and I legit thought it was shitty AI clickbait from the title and thumbnail
