Elijah Wood is Obsessed with Sasha Grey in Trailer for 'Open Windows'

Movies about the dangers of the Internet Age are nothing new, and have been around since Sandra Bullock was having her identity screwed around with in The Net. And ever since then these movies have mostly had the same core themes presented in much the same way. So it's somewhat refreshing to see Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo attempt to do something different with his uniquely-designed thriller, Open Windows, which has been generating some solid buzz on the festival circuit.

Elijah Wood is back in another creepy genre role as Nick, the lovelorn fan of superstar actress Jill, played by Sasha Grey. When she refuses to go out on a date with him, Nick becomes even more obsessed and begins watching her through his computer, only to have some mysterious maniac with an agenda start messing around with them both. Vigalondo presents the entire movie through computer windows, putting us in the uncomfortable position of voyeur. It sounds like it could only work as a short-term gimmick but it does add a bit of novelty to this trailer, and if the tension stays high enough Vigalondo's creative presentation could payoff big.

Log in to Open Windows when it hits theaters September 29th.

Elijah Wood Stalks Sasha Grey in Trailer for 'Open Windows'

Ready for another film to remind you that personal privacy and Internet security are a thing of the past, but mixed with a dash of celebrity obsession horror? Then Open Windows may be what you're looking for, and you get to watch the formerly squeaky-clean Elijah Wood take on another creepy role as he stalks porn star Sasha Grey.

The first trailer for Open Windows has logged on, and once you get beyond the ridiculous amount of computer screens, mouse clicks, and email, it looks like a very flat thriller that plays like Phone Booth with a keyboard. Directed by the once-promising Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes), the film has Wood as a fan obsessed with an actress played by Grey. When a mysterious figure grants him the ability to spy on her through her computer, he indulges in it until his benefactor starts barking orders over Skype or something. None of this would happen if Grey would do like any sane person would do and toss a blanket over her webcam. That's not paranoid, is it?

Grey is a better actress with her clothes on than people give her credit for, and Wood has taken to films like this better than expected, but Open Windows is a film we can probably toss into the Recycle Bin, assuming it ever gains a release date.
