Alone at a remote country house, a young man (Chaneil Kular, Sex Education) watches helplessly as a social media frenzy wrongly identifies him as a wanted terrorist. When online threats lead to an IRL home invasion, he must fight for his life in this tense thriller of virtual witch-hunts and false accusations.

Empire Magazine

... It’s a movie built on a potentially star-making performance from Kular. It’s at its best, though, when it leans into the dread rather than going big; when it’s simmering away nicely, rather than hitting boiling point.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

It’s a film of our horrible moment, not only in its digital wrapping, but in its grim snapshot of the ever-increasing, easily disseminated hatred and fear that have further warped how people see and treat each other.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

The latest nerve-shredding thriller from Philip Barantini, Accused, is a depressingly accurate portrayal of a society driven by technology and poisoned by xenophobia.

A superb movie! Fantastic acting, screenplay, cinematography, and directing. It delivers a very deep and important message about the modern witch-hunt mentality. It's all the same as before—just like in Frankenstein.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
