Atom User Reviews for Friend Request
Definitely made me jump at times
too short
I like this movie because it had a message to it which was treat everyone equally but, At the same time every human being needs space and due to us being human when people start to act a bit awkward we start to stray away from those awkward individuals which is normal.
strangely interesting enough to keep our attention and new material
Im not taking a shower tonight
it was scary as hell.
Metacritic
There’s nothing remotely clever about this web-based fright flick, visually or conceptually. It’s flimsy genre junk of the most generic variety, just with a really groan-worthy Facebook spin.
With no real suspense and little empathy, Friend Request devolves into your standard horror cast-killer time-killer. There are more frights in the trailers for upcoming Halloween horror films preceding this — “Jigsaw” and “Happy Death Day” among them.
Sadly, Friend Request is not even the first movie to travel that harrowing Dead Girl Who Still Maintains an Active Facebook Presence road.
