), who are in the process of breaking up. Home is confusing, and school is isolating for young Oliver. One night, after charging his phone, he spots a strange new app, an e-book or game of sorts, called “Misunderstood Monsters.” As he swipes the digital pages, the story of Larry, a lonely, lanky skeletonoid creature looking for friendship, emerges. Then the lights flicker and pounding footsteps grow closer.
Turns out, he is. Feeding off electricity and desperate to take a friend to his demonic dark side forever, Larry starts stalking the vulnerable Oliver across devices, his visage, invisible to the naked eye, detected only through technology like camera apps.
