Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I'd like to start by saying I never review movies, but I have to say that this could have been a good movie.I remember when this came out I thought it was the most stupid idea for a movie. 2 years later, it gets added to Netflix, I have nothing to do, so I think why not? The first part of the movie where she is stalking Laura, is excellently done! It's actually very creepy and kind of disturbing. I would have easily given it 7/8 stars. But as soon as that stops (I'm trying not to spoil the movie) it becomes so horrible and boring. It proved my first instinct that this would be a dumb movie.I wish they kept it more of a creepy, disturbing, stalker movie. It would have been much better. Overall I would give this movie a 1.5, but i'm boosting it to a 3, because it suprised me by having a great beginning.

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.

I honestly don't know what I expected. The trailer looked awful, the reviews were awful, and yet I still watched it .For starters, this movie relies entirely too much on jumpscares. Jesus Christ, it seemed like every 5 minutes you were spooked with obnoxiously loud noises, a glitched face, or the demon witch girl's face . The plot was interesting but it just turns into any other "horror" film that has anything to do with social media. This whole situation probably could've been avoided if Laura walked up to Marina and told her "Hey you need to chill out, we can't hang if you're going to text me 40 times in a minute." Boom problem solved, no suicide, and no deaths of everyone you love and no stupid ending.
