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 use the term 'thriller' loosely. This is SO predictable, but if you've got 90 minutes to kill, you may want to give it a look. If not, here's a quick synopsis, with a major spoiler. Laura, a popular student, who apparently is attempting to garner as many Facebook type friends as possible, befriends a sad lonely girl she notices who is eating alone in the cafeteria. The girl, Isabel, has no friends on her Facebook site. BIG mistake! I won't go into the gory details; suffice it to say ALL of Laura's close friends die horrible deaths. And at the end, you guessed it, Laura is sitting alone in the cafeteria, with no friends on her Facebook page. I smell a sequel brewing. One interesting fact that has nothing to do with the story...I tried to place the (California?) beach town where the story takes place. It turns out the flick was filmed in Capetown, South Africa!

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.

Extremely long and boring saga mixing in typical ingredients, freaky girl, social media, somehow witchcraft. There is no payoff in the end. I don't know if there was some morality play in the screenwriters mind but it was done poorly with no good scares or kills.
