Greg is a young genius who has created a wireless robot drone in the form of a fly: tiny, stealthy and powerful.
Greg, however, also has a dark side: he’s using it to spy on his ex-girlfriend Haley. With a virtual reality headset, Greg can see everything that the fly sees, and he often flies it into his ex’s house and spies on her and her current boyfriend — as well as their most intimate moments.
But when Greg is discovered and uncovers the nature of Haley’s new relationship, he has a chance once again to get close to Haley and extricate her from her boyfriend forever.
Directed by Daniel M. Smith, written by Simon Hewitt and produced by Kyran Speirs and Andrew Ornitharis of Flat Cap Films, this dark psychological thriller takes viewers on a compelling ride as propulsive, unexpected and twisting as the flight path of the drone fly itself.
Every element of craft is sculpted and hewn with an eye for style and suspense, whether it’s in the dynamic camera movements and effects or the excellently structured and paced writing and editing. Like the best thrillers, the storytelling manages the trick of drawing in viewers with tension and keeping them invested in what happens next.
While sometimes character building can be sacrificed in the name of plot in most thrillers, excellent performances all around capture the dark, often twisted motives of this cast of dark, lonely souls. Actor Lewis Rainer details Greg as a withdrawn young man fixated on his ex, with equal parts vulnerable, palpable longing and arrogance. He may have remarkable prowess with technology and science, but his social intelligence lags.
And as Haley, actor Ophelia Lovibond has an initially difficult task of playing the love object, but has the flinty intelligence and inner strength to make audiences understand why she’s so compelling to Greg — as well as carry off the film’s final and most engaging twist, which takes one of the most regressive cliches of the genre and turns it on its head.
“Flyspy” isn’t afraid to be smart, entertaining, propulsive and what Brits often call “a nasty bit of fun.” But it also asks fascinating questions about the growing role of drone, virtual reality and surveillance technology in our lives, using those concerns as a central key element in its plot and how the characters move towards their goals. In doing so, the story also illuminates just how powerful this technology can be, especially when used in service of the darker human impulses.
The truth is, Greg’s use of these already existing technologies isn’t such a far stretch into everyday reality. And after viewers have digested the rollercoaster of a plot and enjoyed its wild flight, they may just keep mulling over the real-life implications — and perhaps never look at a bug in the house in the same way again.

My brain somehow blocked out the word Omeleto on the thumbnail and I thought this was going to be a documentary about tiny robots.
Damn u thought this was real lol
Now you can spy your crush under the shower
I should be doing school…
If you put ‘em on a pedestal they’ll always be looking down on you.
Lesson of the story:
Put some self destruct mode in your spy object to avoid conflict.
Just like your incognito mode in your browser.
How much battery does it use.
I have the exact same white mug as this guy
Dud should have known she was a whoe 😂.
When she asked what are u building he should’ve said, “well last time I built a fly… now I’m building a murder hornet.”
The sweetest smiles hold the darkest secrets…nobody’s ever been arrested for a murder; they have only ever been arrested for not planning it properly.
that’s a genius work from Omeloto house! seems the movie was driven by the above quotes 😉 late to the party, however, didn’t miss it 🙂
He have the video of her getting to his apartment that night, she will go to prision and he will be hired by CIA.
I will never look at a bug the same way again!
Intelligence idea story
This u bide or makes
Imagine how much money he would’ve made if he wasn’t obsessed with his ex
So this is the REAL story behind murder hornets. 🐝
Plz full movie name
Black mirror
Not to be the guy that ruins the fun but this is impossiblw to pull off. The camera would need to be so tiny it wpuld just have at max a 240p resolution. The cpu and power supply would need to be twce the size of the fly to even allow a few mhz at most
Flyspy nice name

So she got beat up, went to ex’s house and got laid, then turned on him and turned him in? Maybe I’m missing something but that’s kind of messed up. If I got it wrong please enlighten me. Pretty awesome piece of work just not sure I got it all.
How to get this ?
The moment someone says “open your hand”…..never do because it means trouble
