Friend Request Audience Reviews

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
dimipetrov The film have a nice idea, not bad effects and even having in mind that I hate jump scares, this film have some good jump scares and also I think the bad vote is result of people who hate jump scares or got scared easly
massamchris Starts off intriguing then after that it slowly bores you to death where you don't realy care how it ends. The frustrating thing is. 20 minutes in and you think you have a decent film. But thats when it goes flat as a pancake.
CinderFall To say it was all bad is being a little generous. This movie was a trainwreck all the way from the opening scene through the ending. As a college student, I would know that your professor WILL NOT tell you in class that a fellow student died. Your campus email will get something saying something about a student dying and when memorial situations will be held. That's not the only unrealistic thing about this movie. The character relations are just so bland and robotic. There's nothing to say that these people are actually friends because their conversations feel obviously scripted. Let's not even get started on Marina. Or should I say "petty". Seriously? The girl decides to ruin another girl's life because girl B didn't invite girl A to her birthday party. Wow. First rule of college, don't go friending someone that already has a group of friends! They're NOT going to spend so much time with YOU because YOU want to be THEIR friend. You have to friend her and her friends and just get into the group. What you DON'T do, is do what Marina did in this movie.EVERYTHING about this movie is unrealistic. Nothing feels right in terms of fiction. I wanted to watch an interesting movie, but this was just a teen slasher that has teens yawning. And this is coming from someone who liked Unfriended. Friend Request is a waste of your time. Don't watch it, please.
myerschristopher The internet will always have it's dark edges and the surface where friends and people you care about exist and can keep in touch with you and your life. This movie simply starts off happy and relaxing until you begin to experience the true supernatural haunting a popular college girl. She is haunted only because a single girl whom she lies to, commits to such rage and vengeance against Laura. No spoilers it is very depressing and leaves the audience feeling just as helpless as the main protagonist's life is just erased. It's not a movie where you will leave with a happy face on and I urge not to watch it's punishing.
