Ratter is a 2015 horror film starring Ashley Benson and Matt McGorry. Benson plays Emma, a new college student who has just moved into a new apartment. However, things take a turn for the worse when she begins receiving clues that someone is watching her.The film is notable for its voyeuristic POV, as every angle is from a device with a camera that the stalker has hacked into (a cell phone, a laptop, a Kinect, etc).

Found Footage Films: Emma is secretly being monitored by a cyber stalker who has hacked into her phone, laptop, and other devices with a camera. The entire film is shown through each of these devices, as if the audience themselves is intruding on Emma's private life.

comment
Properly Paranoid: Emma grows increasingly anxious once she realizes she's being watched. It's especially tragic since we, as an audience, know just how much danger she's in right from the get-go... since we've been stalking her alongside the culprit.

The Stinger: In a mid-credits scene, the police finally arrive at Emma's wrecked apartment, but she and the stalker are already gone. Whether or not they find her eventually is up to the viewer's interpretation.
