It's a film devoid of subtext, which is especially disappointing given that the subtext would have been so easy to incorporate.

Do yourself a favor and unsubscribe.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Sep 28, 2017

The characters aren't as obnoxious and unlikable as the ones in "Smiley" and "Unfriended," but then again, bland and forgettable is only a marginally preferable alternative.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 23, 2017

So gloriously dumb that it is surprisingly a whole lot of fun.

While Friend Request dives deep into the darker side to social addiction, and how it transforms us as a society and as individuals, it's too shallow of a film to have any true impact.

| Original Score: C | Sep 22, 2017

Among the most unintentionally funny films of recent vintage, starting with the periodic on-screen appearance of the heroine's Facebook friend count as it spirals downward, which is presented as equivalent to the tragedy of a string of murders.

| Sep 22, 2017

When dealing with something as stale and formulaic as Friend Request, you have to take what you can get.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 22, 2017

Look, people doing dumb things in a horror movie is par for the course. Heck, it's even part of the fun. But there becomes a point where things can get taken a step too far.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 22, 2017

It's flimsy genre junk of the most generic variety, just with a really groan-worthy Facebook spin.

| Original Score: D | Sep 22, 2017

"Friend Request" is less insightful than a tossed off status update. Request denied.

| Original Score: D | Sep 22, 2017

Evil is trending, indeed.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 21, 2017

Flimsy and forgettable ... seems made with the sole aim of being perfectly adequate background noise for something else.

| Sep 21, 2017

Despite a few well-timed jump scares, "Friend Request" never really builds much tension.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 21, 2017

It predictably utilizes Facebook to superficially spit-shine another wanly Americanized J-horror retread.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 20, 2017

Despite an overreliance on loud bangs, director Simon Verhoeven pulls off a couple of chills ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 24, 2016

A movie that yields line like 'unfriend this dead bitch' has a certain camp appeal but this is an unpleasant and manipulative affair that makes increasingly grim viewing.

| Apr 22, 2016

Friend Request is a thoroughly unpleasant and somewhat laughable horror movie with a warning to young folks at its core: be careful whom you friend on Facebook.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 21, 2016

This militantly appalling horror film offers so much to complain about that it hardly seems worth taking offence at its interpersonal politics

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 21, 2016

It's slickly made but shoddily scripted, with sub-reality 온라인카지노추천 dialogue ("This chick is just damaged") and a range of unengaged, soapy performances.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 21, 2016

It's not likely to be the next Paranormal Activity but it's far more engaging than the uninspired title suggests.
