These days, there is no denying that we as a society depend on technology. Everything is run on it. From our appliances to our cars, our lives have been programmed down to the most minute detail. However, some would say our dependency on cams, apps, and digital whatnots has opened up a whole set of other problems we wouldn't have otherwise.

Technophobia — an intense fear of complex technology, like computers — has understandably found its way into the horror genre in the last four decades. With people's need to ameliorate every facet of life, the sub-genre is only bound to grow. With that in mind, let's unearth some high-tech horror movies that will make you want to turn off your phones and computers.

Followers (2017)

A popular social media couple goes on a camping trip in a secluded part of the woods. Once they reach their seemingly isolated destination, they realize someone has followed them. Their intentions, however, remain unclear.

It seems as if Followers would be just another low-budget, found-footage horror movie with a penchant for torture and nothing interesting to say. On the contrary, it takes an unexpected pivot that changes the course of the story in a positive way. The movie also grazes the topic of how social media cultivates false idols.

Girl House (2014)

To pay for school, a struggling college student named Kylie accepts a job she never thought she would do. After she moves into a remote house for the employees of an adult website called Girl House, she encounters an emotionally disturbed client called Loverboy. And when he feels rejected by Kylie, he uncovers the house's location and takes the ladies of Girl House out one by one.

Girl House doesn't break the rules of slashers whatsoever, but this attempt at a new spin on a much-trodden setup is better than average. Decent production values, a menacing villain, and some ambitious chase scenes all make Girl House a hot piece of property.

Like. Share. Follow (2017)

A rising YouTube star named Garrett gets involved with a woman named Shell. But when Garrett rejects her after learning she is actually an overzealous fan, she becomes unhinged and stalks him. As Garrett tries to hide from her, Shell does whatever it takes to find him.

Like. Share. Follow reminds us of the erotomania craze — a delusional state where someone believes another person is in love with them — that became popular after the success of Fatal Attraction. The trend did not buck in the 1990s, and it made a small comeback this decade. Although Like. Share. Follow doesn't break new ground, it has some tense moments.

Ratter (2015)

ratter (2015)

A graduate student living by herself in New York City is being stalked without her realizing it. Her stalker has tapped all of her devices, and he comes and goes into her apartment without being detected.

Ratter exploits the universal fear that we are being watched through our computers. That we invite terror into our homes by simply being social and putting ourselves online. Ratter does not exactly advocate for minimized Internet usage; it ends up fear-mongering. Nevertheless, Ashley Benson gives a congenial performance as the victim in this uncomfortable, voyeuristic thriller.

Bad Match (2017)

Young and handsome Harris has a desirable life. He's got plenty of friends and a great job, too. But when he hooks up with someone after meeting her on a dating app, things get too intense for him. The moment he cuts things off, though, is when his life is put in immediate danger.

Bad Match is the cautionary tale about online dating no one asked for, but it turns out to be an engrossing stalker horror so long as you can suspend your disbelief. Fair warning: it ends darkly.

Cam (2018)

Alice is an online camgirl nicknamed Lola_Lola who broadcasts live shows from the comfort of her own home. She is rising on the charts when all of a sudden, her identity is swept out from under her. Literally. There is someone who looks just like Alice, using her alias and her account. The real Alice is locked out and at a loss. Who is her doppelgänger? And what will happen to Alice so long as this other version of her continues to exist?

The idea of losing one's identity is done persuasively through a supernatural lens in Cam. It's a spooky mind-bender that reminds us we are our own greatest enemy.

Ingrid Goes West (2017)

After her mother dies, Ingrid leaves her boring life for Los Angeles. Her goal is to become friends with Taylor, an Instagram socialite she is obsessed with. Ingrid manages to worm her way into her idol's life, but Taylor's nosy brother gets in the way.

Ingrid Goes West is not intentionally a horror movie, but so much of its story can be read as one. Plus, it fits into the overall theme here disturbingly well. This dark and upsetting "comedy" aims to dissect the contentious role of the social influencer and the unwitting effect they have on the rest of us.

Unfriended (2014)

Blaire yelling in Unfriended

A group of teenage friends are chatting online when an unknown party pops into the conversation. To their shock, this stranger is posing as a classmate who recently died. What appears to be a prank, though, ends up being the start of a series of supernatural incidents.

Unfriended is not plausible whatsoever and it is chock full of detestable characters who earn no pity from the viewers. If you are all right with all that, then you might find this desktop ghost story engaging. It moves at a breakneck speed and it has an unforgiving attitude.

Don't Hang Up (2016)

Two teenage Internet pranksters go too far when one of their jokes ends with the victim committing accidental murder. Sometime later, the two teens get a taste of their own medicine when someone forces them into a deadly game of phone tag. Now, they have to play along or those around them will suffer the consequences of their actions.

While Don't Hang Up refuses to avoid the clichés of modern horror, there ends up being a faintly terrifying slasher underneath the familiar premise and framework. One will not feel too sympathetic towards the disagreeable protagonists, but that's more reason to root for the killer.

The Den (2013)

A student named Elizabeth is studying the habits of webcam users when she accidentally witnesses a murder online. Elizabeth rushes to the police for help; they deduce this is simply a staged video. As she takes it upon herself to investigate the matter, she turns herself into another potential target for The Den.

The Den is a wild and vicious ride that will leave viewers terror-struck. Admittedly, so much of the film's story is over-the-top, but the scares are at full tilt. This is one den you do not want to enter if you're easily frightened.
