Just perfect...
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
best movie i've ever seen.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
FRIEND REQUEST is another pointless, pathetic slice of teen horror with various 21st century twists on an age-old theme. It stars Alycia Debnam-Carey, of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD fame, playing another gormless and pouty character as unsympathetic as they come. The Facebook-focused storyline is about a malignant friend whose suicide begins a plot of murderous revenge, but it's all done in a cheap, digital style which makes it horrible to watch. Pity poor old William Moseley, who went from THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA to this tedious addition to the wave of Internet horror flicks that they never should have bothered making.
I didn't expect to see a fantasy horror movie which reminds me every two minutes of "The Ring", but I definitely guessed the quality right. Pretty boring movie with the typical averagely talented teenie actors and a rather uninteresting story that borrows elements from pretty much everywhere in its genre. At least the ending was good.
I had such high hopes for this movie. First I'd like to say the makeup and special effects were amazing, but the story fell flat and never really picked up. I know a lot of horror movies have the slow parts that add details and then a shocker at the end that puts the pretty bow on the building plot line, however, this movie was too predictable. 35 mins into the movies I accurately guessed the end which also stucks because I didn't even like the villain even though I knew her background. Her punishment to these people in no way added up to what they did. I may be a bit of a "horror movies snob" but I will say this movie, if tweaked properly, has the potential to be awesome.
Extremely long and boring saga mixing in typical ingredients, freaky girl, social media, somehow witchcraft. There is no payoff in the end. I don't know if there was some morality play in the screenwriters mind but it was done poorly with no good scares or kills.
