What the critics say

It's the highest praise to describe Friend Request as "a hoot" — the kind of midnight movie best seen with a large crowd laughing and screaming along, offering words of advice or encouragement to the naive characters on screen.

First 2015’s Unfriended, now this — social media-themed horror is apparently a thing. Here popular student Laura (Alycia Debnam-Carey) accepts a friend request from the mysterious Marina (Liesl Ahlers), a loner she barely knows. It turns out to be a bad idea — her admirer moves from obsessive cyber stalker to e-poltergeist as Laura’s friends begin to disappear, and not just from her Facebook feed.

Friend Request may be a little heavy-handed with their jump scares, but when built effectively, screams are an easy find.

2866d ago
It predictably utilizes Facebook to superficially spit-shine another wanly Americanized J-horror retread.

A vengeful witch using Facebook for mayhem generates zero scares — but plenty of unintentional laughs.
