We’re All Going to the World’s Fair
Jane Schoenbrun’s intriguing 2021 indie introduces us to Casey (Anna Cobb), who opens the movie by staring at a webcam and announcing “Hey guys… today I’m going to be taking the World’s Fair Challenge.” Billed as “the internet’s scariest online horror game,” the challenge is a viral stunt infused with vague malevolence; it purports to “change you,” and it takes the lonely teen—whose only social outlet is the internet—to some deeply unsettling places, guided along by murky online connections she can’t turn away from.
