Over the last couple years we’ve seen a number of horror films play around with the internet and social media as a plot device. Some have been successful while others have struggled. Leigh Sheehan’s 6 Plots will be hitting DVD, Digital HD and On Demand on October 4th from Lionsgate and it appears to play around with these same ideas. The trailer looks interesting but also looks like a lot of things we’ve already seen before, but as it turns out 6 Plots was shot and released in Australia in 2012 and is just now making it’s way stateside. So while 6 Plots looks to be borrowing from things like MTV’s Scream and iLived, perhaps it already beat most of them to the punch and we just didn’t know about it. Either way it looks like it could be worth checking out just for the demented emoji.

OFFICAL SYNOPSIS
After passing out at a party, Brie wakes up to a strange phone message: a lunatic has abducted her six friends and buried them in boxes around the city. Each box has its own deadly terror — water, gasoline, insects — waiting to kill its occupant. To add to the sadistic thrills, the killer is streaming footage of the trapped kids on the Internet — and to each other. Forbidden to call parents or police, Brie must use her wits to locate her friends’ six death traps before their time runs out.
