Crappy film

Better Late Then Never

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This was a pretty good horror flick, but as the case with most horror movies on IMDB, it's rated far lower than it should be. I came into this movie with low expectations, expecting something very silly that's trying too hard to be scary (considering the social media theme), but that was not the case. This movie had genuinely creepy, skin-crawling visuals and a pretty good mystery of a plot going into the backstory of the killer. Although the scariest aspect of the movie was not the visuals, but rather the trapped, helpless feeling of being forced to post disturbing things to your social media and being unable to stop it. It's the modern nightmare. A tainted social image that ruins your goals, dreams, and relationships is terrifying and I almost wish the movie focused on that rather than piecing together the life of the killer. If the killer's life was more of a mystery and the movie was a Black Mirror-esque commentary on the potential dangers of social media, that would've turned a good horror film into a great one.

This is a good movie. Story seems unbelievable though. But overal, the movie is decent and I do recommend it..

Friend request is simply put a killing spree of a girl who befriends an outcast then her life goes to hell...the scares were predictable but more jumpy then expected...an okay film but honestly needed a lot more work and effort put into it to make it worth while...It's a mix of Unfriended and House Hunting...but not much for its own originality...horrible film but all this had going for it was its storyline...

I'd like to start by saying I never review movies, but I have to say that this could have been a good movie.I remember when this came out I thought it was the most stupid idea for a movie. 2 years later, it gets added to Netflix, I have nothing to do, so I think why not? The first part of the movie where she is stalking Laura, is excellently done! It's actually very creepy and kind of disturbing. I would have easily given it 7/8 stars. But as soon as that stops (I'm trying not to spoil the movie) it becomes so horrible and boring. It proved my first instinct that this would be a dumb movie.I wish they kept it more of a creepy, disturbing, stalker movie. It would have been much better. Overall I would give this movie a 1.5, but i'm boosting it to a 3, because it suprised me by having a great beginning.
