Untraceable

Untraceable is a thriller film about an FBI agent trying to catch an elusive serial killer, whose victims die as thousands watch live on the internet.

A sadistic serial killer discovers how to put his graphic crimes on the internet without being traced. Each person that visits his site contributes to the death of his victims. The FBI work hard to find the killer. The killer eventually turns his attention to special agent Jennifer Marsh and the race to catch him is on before he can get her too.

Is there a reason to see this movie? Was there a reason to see "Saw," or "Se7en"? The purpose and function of the violent movie thriller remains a subject of debate. Yes, I watched, fascinated. No, it wasn't art. Its message is visceral. Some people will think: This is wrong. Others will think: This is cool. It is the same in countless areas of society. — Roger Ebert

The site used by the killer (www.killwithme.com) actually exists. It's owned by the movie studio and it's used to promote the movie. In it, users are taken to a replica of the FBI computer used by the character Jennifer Marsh. Her desktop gets hacked by the killer who provides the visitor with four test he/she must complete to deactivate his site. — IMDb
