    Good albeit not great documentary about a teenage couple being harassed with graphically sexual texts for nearly two years and the person behind the attacks. Features everybody involved, including the perpetrator, but the motives wasn't explored very well and would've benefited from interviews with people in the medical field. Still well worth checking out as it is quite disturbing. **3.5/5**
