The premise

Special Agent Jennifer Marsh works in an elite division of the FBI dedicated to fighting cybercrime. She thinks she has seen it all, until a particularly sadistic criminal arises on the Internet. This tech-savvy killer posts live feeds of his crimes on his website; the more hits the site gets, the faster the victim dies. Marsh and her team must find the elusive killer before time runs out.

Horror Vault's take

When a technologically sophisticated killer begins livestreaming his victims' deaths online, FBI cybercrime agent Jennifer Marsh finds herself in a race against a clock driven by public curiosity — the more viewers tune in, the faster the victim dies. As the body count climbs and the killer proves maddeningly elusive, Marsh must confront a chilling question: what does our appetite for digital spectacle make us capable of enabling? Sharp, socially provocative, and viscerally uncomfortable, Untraceable holds a dark mirror up to internet culture. Diane Lane anchors the film with a grounded performance that keeps the thriller firmly tethered to human stakes.
