This is yet another film based on social media and the law of diminishing returns is in full effect. A college student (Alycia Debnam-Carey) is stalked by a creepy outcast (Liesl Ahlers).

A college student (Alycia Debnam-Carey) is stalked by a creepy outcast (Liesl Ahlers). After the loser is rejected, the popular girl starts losing her friends in dull and somewhat confusing ways. The predictable plot is just an updated version of the haunted curse genre. The addition of Facebook only makes it relevant to boomers..haven't the kids moved on to Instagram and Snapchat and ones I haven't even heard of? There's nothing especially disturbing or original about the evil beings and the film is never scary or even tense. This pitiful attempt at pandering to the youth crowd should be "unfriended" by all ticket buyers.… Expand

Friend Request is a ridiculously dumb horror bait that somehow manages to make Unfriended look as if it could easily be converted to become the best high-quality game on the Nintendo Switch.

By that, I mean this dumb horror bait-to-the-eye makes Unfriended, another similar horror bait, look as if it could easily earn a ten out of ten just by watching it. That's literally saying too much especially if I'm comparing a dumb horror bait with another similar premise.… Expand

What is this. I'd watch Nut Job 2 over this boring, cringey jab at teenagers!! Awful visuals, terrible acting, laughable story, the only thing thats GOOD about it is thats its not The Emoji Movie! 0/10.

Friend Request is boring as tin foil. Full of nothing but internet fails. Like that cat scare. I don't see that's exciting about Friend Request, it's not good.

Bad movie with poor storyline, predictable jumpscares. Totally waste of time.

"Friend Request" is a German production. In Germany it is known as "Unfriend". "Unfriended" is known as "Unknown User". "Unfriended" definitely is the better movie of this subgenre.
