One thing all horror films seem to have in common is finding something often seen as "normal" and typically not scary. Like moving into a new house, or going camping. That's why it always starts happy-go-lucky before the inevitable crap hits the fan. So what else is normal that they could use to their advantage? Could it possibly be social media, something we use more than anything else? Maybe on some level. If you could scare someone who loves using social media, that would be big...but you have to do it right. Friend Request started out interesting and then something horrible read more

quick hit: friend request is everything that's wrong with internet-themed horror films. i liked unfriended more than some but even if i had problems with that one, it would be miles better than this trite mess. simon verhoeven's script combines a preachy moralism about social media with a cheap, hackneyed slasher tale about a ghost out for misdirected revenge.  the film would be a complete waste if it wasn't for the cast, who ty their hardest to make it all work. alycia debnam-carey is an amiable lead and connor paolo does good work in the role of the requisite tech nerd friend with a... read more

not as bad as i thought it would be. some parts are genuinely scary, some are just funny attempts. marina's art sequences were really well done and it was great seeing them play out. read more

the ring, meets unfriend meets the cheesy scary video you use to receive from your friends. poor performances from almost every actor, edition errors; the main carachter is in one place and second after is making a call from a taxi. come one , you can do it better. read more

A creepy high school reject seeks revenge on the one girl who has accepted her as a Facebook contact and then unfriended her. Social media is little more than a pretext for the usual array of predictable shocks in this repetitive, simplistic teen-horror - but the idea of one's wall being taken over by witchcraft should be read as a warning to anyone who still believes they own whatever they publish on social media. read more

My quick rating 5;7/10. Ever wonder who that Facebook friend is that you just accepted since you play the same game? Here is your darker look into who that person may be. These days we accept these requests all the time and most likely don't think much of it. For Laura (Alycia Debnam-Carey) it turns out to be a mistake befriending a social outcast at her university. Fans of these types of movies will be pleasantly surprised at what transpires. The obsession factor is acted out very well and does use the supernatural aspect to give it a little more "umph" then just some crazy chick stalking... read more

A thriller about Facebook hmmm, unfortunately is been done before only recently in "Unfriended" which is slightly better than this. The idea seemed ok in principal but it just didn't come off in practice, maybe a simple killer would of been better than the supernatural part of the film. The actors and actresses are relatively unknown where only the main girl is currently in "Fear The Walking Dead". Interestingly the whole film is shot in Capetown South Africa. read more
