If you are looking for a slick Hollywood blockbuster, this isn’t it. But if you want a tense, low-budget thriller about the terrifying speed of social media cancel culture, you’ve found a hidden gem. The film follows Dani , a high-achieving high school student who seems to have it all: a shot at an Ivy League college, a cute boyfriend, and a stable home life. However, her world shatters after a seemingly innocent house party.

★★★☆☆ (3/5) Best for: Fans of Searching , Unfriended , or Thirteen Reasons Why . Where to Stream It As of 2026, Out of Control (2017) is currently streaming on Tubi , Amazon Prime (with a premium subscription), and Plex . It is also available for digital rental on YouTube and Apple TV.

, as a thriller of paranoia, it is surprisingly effective. It understands that for a teenager in 2017, having your phone blow up with hate comments is scarier than any ghost or monster.

Sometimes, the most interesting films are the ones that don’t make a huge splash at the box office. Tucked away in the streaming catalogs of 2017, Out of Control (originally titled #Realityhigh in some markets, but more commonly known internationally as Out of Control ) is a fascinating time capsule of late-2010s anxiety.

Actress Mia Rose Frampton (daughter of rock legend Peter Frampton) carries the film with a raw vulnerability. Unlike many thriller heroines who make obviously stupid decisions, Dani feels real. Her panic, her shame, and her fight for justice are relatable, even if her situation is extreme.
