Psychological horror satire is written and directed by Chris Marrs Piliero.
Title is a play on apophenia, the tendency to perceive patterns between completely unrelated things.
Aaron Holliday - Duke
Jermaine Fowler - Cedrick
Sean Gunn - Clinto Binto
Simran Jehani - Poppy
Michael Abbott Jr. - Banks
Paige Searcy - Lazzy
Will Brandt - Texas Tim
Summary
Three intertwining vignettes focus on sociopathic tech-obsessed loner Duke, who after being 'wronged' by individuals, posts a nefarious deepfake video of them as a form of revenge, resulting in brutal, bloody violence.
Turning fantasy into reality
The influence of Pulp Fiction is there for all to see, but slimy degenerate being able to weaponise cancel culture is unfortunately plausible.
Script largely works, but performances are disjointed. However, but Sean Gunn, as cosplay guru Clinto Binto is probably the most interesting character, but doesn't really feature until the final act.
While not a splatter fest, this gratuitously paints houses, with stabbings and shootings commonplace. One icky scene involves a geezer bonded to a table covered with super glue, forcing him to partially rip off one side of face to escape. During mean-spirited finale, peeps are dispatched with a variety of unconventional weapons.
Gorehounds may rejoice, but personally - I found unsubtle approach pretty dismal.
