Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
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.
