Review of Friend Request (2016) by Creamy C — 04 Nov 2018

I liked this, but I don't know if I can recommend it to everyone. This is kind of a brain-off/past the time type film.

Although I think Unfriended is better, I thought this horror flick did a decent job of tackling today's obsession with social media. Basic plot works with both a relatable protagonist and antagonist and a an effective ending. The kills are freaky enough.

Like I said, the plot works, but there are moments where the dialogue can be better. The authorities are frustratingly dumb and illogical in reaction to the killings.

I was surprised by the visuals. There are some pretty effective images.

The acting isn't the best, which might be due to the director as there are cast members with experience on this.
