CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

TheLittleSongbird That's because the idea was brilliant, the negative effects of social media being very much a relevant issue and something that anybody would wholly relate to. And if done right, Social Nightmare also could have been good, what turned out to be though was a movie that was as far away from good as you could go. There are worse movies around and it at least has the idea and a decent performance from Kirsten Prout that salvages it somewhat. But not enough to ignore the badness of everything else, the worst thing being that the reveal of the perpetrator and their motive was not believable for a second(mainly because agreed the person was the least likely one to have done it and the movie at first made it like they couldn't possibly have done) and was actually rather insulting. The characters never rise above the cardboard, shallow stereotypes, and the writing had no natural flow, was lacking in any real sense and sounded increasingly ridiculous as Social Nightmare wore on. The story was just one lazy and WTF plot point after another complete with some irrelevant filler and the closer Social Nightmare gets to the end the duller it gets rather than more suspenseful and compelling, by the time you find out who was responsible you just don't care anymore. And that was reflected in the acting, with Rachel True and Daryl Hannah(at her most unattractive) phoning in and Tim Russ having very little to do, Prout is the one bright spot, you don't engage or identify with their situations and the characters and the actors act like they don't care either. The production values are very Lifetime-movie like, over-saturated colours, editing that jumps around and the odd overlong shot, Social Nightmare is flatly directed and the music is little more than a monotonous bore. In conclusion, an awful movie on its own and to have an idea as brilliant as this gone to total waste is unforgivable. 2/10 Bethany Cox

wes-connors Sexy blonde high school senior Kirsten Prout (as Catherine "Cat" Hardy) seems to have everything a young woman could want. Besides being drop-dead gorgeous, she's smart enough to be re-elected student council president and is planning on attending an Ivy League college. She lives in an immaculately furnished Los Angeles mansion with her fantastically wealthy single mom Daryl Hannah (as Susan Hardy). Rounding out Ms. Prout's perfect life is best girlfriend Chloe Bridges (as Emily Hargrove) and cuddly kissing partner Brandon Smith (as Daniel). As if all this wasn't enough, nobody wiggles around a pair of shorts like Prout. Nobody. Naturally, her wonderful world comes crashing down. The avenue for evil is social media and the offending cast member is revealed by re-titling this TV Movie "Mother" for home video release. The attempts to drive "Social Nightmare" into most awful rating territory fail as this one amuses by being insanely predictable.**** Social Nightmare (8/31/13) Mark Quod ~ Kirsten Prout, Daryl Hannah, Chloe Bridges, Brandon Smith

Jelena555 I can not express myself right by just stating if I liked or disliked this movie. But if I have to chose one option, I will say I liked it. I liked the fact that it was made in this particular way. The weird thing is I knew from the very beginning that it was the mother. Okay, the alternative title kind of gives that away, and many people might have thought of that, but... just one scene with the mother and I knew... That possessiveness of a parent that sometimes reaches past limits of sanity is just ... I don't even have words for it. I hate possessive and selfish people, I certainly know how manipulative parents can be (doesn't have to be from experience, observing can be more than enough sometimes), and it grosses me ...I'm glad they made this movie, and although the acting has it's flaws and there are fair number of goofs, in this case, it's the thought that counts. Many teenagers and young adults who are still living with their parents and feel like they are constrained, not really doing what they want in their lives only because they might hurt or disappoint the parents, should see this movie and reexamine if everything is okay in their home environment. Bullying doesn't have to be from outside, it can be right in front of our eyes all the time, and we might not be able to see it, because it comes from people who we love and trust the most.Parents are known for blackmailing their children from early age. First they are innocent and protective blackmails, but with time they should just stop.I loved the scene where the mother tried to strangle Emily again even while the police was there, because it clearly shows her determination and belief that she is doing something right for her daughter and herself. But no, she was selfish and sick.The ending made me very happy, because it says that although there may be a struggle, betrayal, broken heart, lost trust, pain, chaos and confusion, if you do the right thing and don't give up until you know the truth, there is a way out, there is possibility of finding the right path again and a chance of starting over. Only thing is, during the whole process you should be sure who you are, where you are going and to believe in yourself.And one more thing... I hated the way the school dealt with the whole thing. I mean, yes, it was the mother, but... they just gave up on their best student. No one with the right mind changes that abruptly. They could've kept Cat in office and see that changes happen on her page while she has no access to the Internet. I consider that a plot hole, but it had to happen in order for the movie to end as it did - the painful way, Cat finding for herself.Without further ado, I give this movie a 7.5.

edwagreen A definite call for watching what goes on regarding the internet.Is Darryl Hannah portraying a mommy-like-dearest character?The lives of two best friends shall head southward quickly when postings begin showing not such very nice things going on.The lives of the girls are literally turned upside down. College acceptances are rescinded, one girl, a previous honor student, may not graduate on time.Everyone is yelling at everyone else. Accusations are flying as the one girl who is allegedly doing this is protesting her innocence.You know something is amiss when a mother says that her daughter, as a result of all this, is so anxious that she says nothing when the doctor prescribes anxiety pills.Too much going on here for one's taste.
