Reviews
That was an excellent one.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
This movie was just ok...story concept was good but the movie was predictable from he start. Acting not bad. No twists. Again...Just ok
FRIEND REQUEST is a serial killer-themed indie thriller featuring a couple of once-popular 1980s stars which makes this an '80s reunion of sorts. A serial killer stalks his prey via social media, which is timely enough, but the film suffers a great deal from the usual problems associated with independent cinema, i.e. a budget so low that it can't stage anything particularly interesting or memorable. It feels very much like a '90s Hollywood B-movie, only cheaper. Martin Kove, of THE KARATE KID fame, has a small role here, but for the brunt of the screen time the focus is on Anthony Michael Hall, that geeky ginger-haired kid from THE BREAKFAST CLUB, WEIRD SCIENCE, and many others. He's unrecognisable these days but I did get a kick out of his presence.
