Synopsis

Cyberbully (2015) is a British TV thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Ben Chanan and running a lean 62 minutes entirely in real time. Every scene plays out on a teenager's laptop screen — no cutaways, no outside world.

Casey is a regular seventeen-year-old until an anonymous hacker breaks into her account one night and starts issuing demands: do what I say, or your private photos go public. Maisie Williams, then best known for Game of Thrones, carries the film almost entirely alone on camera — and the pressure she generates is genuine rather than performed. Ella Purnell appears briefly but shifts the dynamics when she does.

The film arrived at a moment when online harassment was just beginning to register as a structural problem rather than a personal failing, and it holds up precisely because Chanan never reaches for spectacle. One laptop. One room. Sixty minutes. Stream Cyberbully (2015) online on iFILM.
