Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Melanie Bouvet 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.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
miaka697 Good thing I don't go based of reviews only. It was decent.
Jeff Davis 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...
Nick Duguay I was actually very pleasantly surprised by this. So without further ado, let's get into it.Pros: The film is genuinely engaging. I did not feel bored or annoyed at all during the duration of this film and I honestly expected to. Gorgeous cinematography. The camera work deserves a better film to go along with it so whoever that was, kudos. Oh yeah, um also I have huge crush on Kobe.Cons: I feel like they could have delved more into the first part, perhaps made that around half of the film. The initial story has a lot of material that could have been looked into more and would have made the plot more interesting. Sadly it devolved into formulaic slasher mode. The jump scares and scary imagery are not well used. I could have done without them.Overall I think this film is a lot better than most of the 'social media slashers' that have been coming out. I really like the idea of incorporating social media into the modern horror tropes because I think it can help contextualize the story and help people of my age and younger relate to these films, which in turn makes them that much scarier- but sadly a lot of the movies that attempt to do this just end up using the social media aspect as a gimmick, or the tech aspect is highly unrealistic due to using imaginary sites or programs that aren't even halfway believable. Luckily this one delivered a genuine and normal portrayal of the programs and websites people use.
myerschristopher The internet will always have it's dark edges and the surface where friends and people you care about exist and can keep in touch with you and your life. This movie simply starts off happy and relaxing until you begin to experience the true supernatural haunting a popular college girl. She is haunted only because a single girl whom she lies to, commits to such rage and vengeance against Laura. No spoilers it is very depressing and leaves the audience feeling just as helpless as the main protagonist's life is just erased. It's not a movie where you will leave with a happy face on and I urge not to watch it's punishing.
