The film we watched in class yesterday was also one of the strangest things I have ever seen. However, it was shown in kind of a different way. It was not as scary, but more just creepy, and involved a lot of stalking from two main characters. The main guy and girl text each other back and forth causing a fake relationship that ends up cracking the code to many other things.
The guy texts this girl he meets through Facebook and thinks at first it is a girl his age. He comes to find out it most certainly is not and that she is like a 40 year old woman that loves to paint. He is very smart because he comes up with several plots to make her finally admit her situation. He visits her several times and questions her two little girls but they obviously do not really help that much. He soon figures that he can just question the woman deeply and get her to admit her true confession. Thankfully, in the end of then film, things are cleared up a bit. The woman admits she has a fake Facebook profile with a bunch of fake friends and that most of her stories are fake except for the fact she loves to paint, and is deeply in love with the man questioning her. This whole plot of the film is very strange but it also shows the same truly powerful message that the other two films show, which is the power of technology. With a great, vast, and really messed up mind anyone can make their Facebook profile look really cool or weird. She made it look like she was a completely different person than she really is in her tough life. It turns out their are a few final main problems.
The woman is actually an alcoholic and is taken to get treatment for it frequently. She has a family friend portrayed differently on her Facebook and feels she has also majorly wronged him. She has done a lot of damage, but in the end, everything ends up being just okay for her and the man. He forgives her, and although he does not want to date her, he wants to help her turn her life around. The ending is cool compared to the other movies. I will also admit the part where he was making sex jokes while texting was terrible but really funny. All in all, compared to the other to films, this one was also weird, but had a lot better plot, and made more legitimate sense all together.

I agree with you that this film was much more logical and that the plot was better. You did mention that the lady (I am assuming you meant Megan) was actually an alcoholic. I do remember "Megan" texting Nev saying how she could not meet him because she was an alcoholic and she needed to go get help. But that was all a lie. There was no Megan, well not who Nev knew to be Megan. But regardless, no one was really an alcoholic.
