fuck, this movie is highly underrated. if anybody is reading this, stop reading other comments and simply watch it, it's a mind bending psychological thriller since the very first second of it. you have never seen anything like this. absolutely bone chilling and this will be stuck in my mind for ages.

The fact is that the film was shot back in 2017, and was shown at film festivals in 2018. At that time, Director Timur Bekmambetov actually invented this genre. All the famous screenlife films including Unfriended and Searching were produced by Timur Bekmambetov's company Basilevs.

Timur Bekmambetov then decided not to release the film and decided to focus on producing more spectator films. Apparently, because of the pandemic and the news about Islamic extremism in Europe (the recent execution of a teacher in France), he decided that his film has gained relevance.

Saw this back in 2018 at a festival and have been WAITING to be able to share it with others because it's my favourite of the "Screen-life" style movies I've seen.

My friend and I saw this movie last night. My god this film was intense. Highly recommended.

[Hylss]

Feels like I just saw the whole movie. Searching was great though.

This was SO good I had to find this ad on YouTube to rewatch it.

This movie was so good. And it gives me chills how it could happen to anyone. The internet is a major playground for dangerous people and fantasies

[sophiaisabelle]

This is absolutely terrifying in so many ways. It gives me a whole lot more chills knowing that this happens in real life. If I happen to be in Amy’s pace, I probably wouldn’t have made it out alive in the end. Terrorism is something that continues to be widespread all around the globe.

I don’t know if the people who are opposing this movie know what they are indirectly telling people. That extreme jihadists and Muslims are alike, and that making any media demonizing jihadists is islamaphobic. I’m more than sure that no one viewed this trailer and though of it applying to anyone but extreme terrorists, as the film clearly depicts. Picking a fight against this as a muslim blurs lines that no one even thought to blur. It forces people to view the terrorist in the film as an average muslim who we should sympathize with, because y’all seem to see yourselves represented in this movie when you’re not. It’s not muslims vs everyone else, it’s all of us including muslims against terrorism. This movie is not islamophobic, it has nothing to do with islam, but extreme religious terrorism. Choose your battles wisely because trying to demonize this film only feeds into islamophobia

"A new genre of thriller....from the producer of the two other movies in this same genre."

[Authoravarndal]

Looks epic, loved searching. Can't wait for this one as well.

Фильм обязателен к просмотру! Особенно для тех, кто одинок! Очень наглядно показывает, как на фоне любовной связи террорист пытается внушить необходимость приехать и повиноваться! Манипулирует чувствами девушки, т.к. она на фоне общения находит близкого по духу человека, а это то, чего ей не хватает. Влюбляет в себя тем, что предлагает жизнь, свободную, независимую, иллюзию их совместной идеальной жизни (в подробностях). Обещает жить в большом шикарном доме, якобы будет много детей, типа будут жить долго и счастливо. Но по факту, все ведет к тому, чтобы она была очередной смертницей. Не хочу спойлерить, но настоятельно рекомендую особенно тем, кто столкнулся с подобной ситуацией, для начала, посмотреть фильм до конца.

Amazing movie! Just saw it tonight. Cleverly done; the story was unfolded in screen messages and video conversations, with plenty of changes of scene on screen. The acting was superb.

SPOILERS BELOW

You could see how the young journalist got almost totally reeled in, until she saw that she would not be his only wife. And it was terrifying how quickly he changed when he saw that she had been deceiving him, too. This works as a thriller on many levels, and even offers an insight into the mindset of the jihadists.

[jacobsmith]

This is the sort of thing I would watch on my laptop to make it feel real. I did it with all the other ones too and it was awesome.

[jeffro]

This movie is now on HBO max if anyone is interested.
I saw this movie 4 - 5 years ago and wondered what happened to it. Weird it was so hard to find. All you gals out there that think this may be an option to visit your Syrian sweetheart, think again!

[manishrastogi]

This is a must watch movie for everyone. I think school should make young kids watch this movie. This will certainly make things lot harder for these scumbags to recruit innocent boys and girls.

[kkk]

Just watched this, probably the best of all the “screen recorded” movies like Unfriended. Based on a true story makes it terrifying, her name is Anna Erelle.

[Amakiseul]

Amazing movie and the fact that they use Phoebe Bridgers as the song for the trailer is great

[ggates]

Warning: if you’ve ever been in the armed forces and deployed, this will set off your PTSD. And if you’ve never had any knowledge of the dangers of Islamic Terrorism, you’re in for a rude awakening. This will piss you off. It’s a must see.

[TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Searching was phenomenal so I hope that Profile is just as good I’m excited to watch!
