Social media and bullying are scary enough to be the perfect backdrop of a challenging horror film. Last year's Unfriended took that idea, mixed it with a revenge story and an inventive use of storytelling to create a stirring horror filmSocial media and bullying are scary enough to be the perfect backdrop of a challenging horror film. Last year's Unfriended took that idea, mixed it with a revenge story and an inventive use of storytelling to create a stirring horror film about the effects of cyberbullying. Then there's #Horror, a failed satire of social media that feels more like a slap on the wrist than the provoking it was trying to be. #Horror follows six preteen girls who live in the high society of money, success and comfort. One night, their compulsive addiction to social media turns a moment of cyberbullying into a night of chaos. The movie is exactly as preachy as that synopsis sounds and just as annoying as the middle schoolers in it. What #Horror never quite figures out is if it's trying to be an allegory for the dangers of social media, an actual horror film, or a lesson on why pre teen girls are **** Those themes never mix with each other in a cohesive way and instead battle each other throughout the whole movie. One moment will have smart phone animations barraging the screen, the next scene will have some random act of bullying, and then the movie remembers it's supposed to be a horror film and for two seconds, you see the girls being filmed by someone. I mean, the movie is called #Horror. There should be a little more horror than a couple of shots in the first hour and then a few poorly filmed kill scenes at the end. What Unfriended did right was not let up on the social media aspect of the film during its scarier moments. #Horror just sends mixed messages about what movie it's trying to be. Director Tara Subkoff presents timely themes and a glimmer of potential from her confident direction. Unfortunately, instead of being provocative and subversive, #Horror just ends up being annoying and pretentious. Expand

As a daily internet user like most people I was floored at how misrepresented social media could be. This movie depicts a strange combination of instagram, facebook, twitter, and a bejeweled knock-off that has an animated hashtag (pound sign) as its mascot. This mascot appears during some of the "scary" scenes and completely ruins everything. There is also a character named Ava who is as flat a character as you can get, I didnt even notice her until about 30 minutes in. While I am giving this movie a 1/10 I still highly suggest getting drunk with some friends to watch this, its funny to see how little people can understand such a widely available topic. Expand

I had a friend over for the night and we were watching some horror movies on Netflix. This was one of them and it's one of the the absolute worst horror films i have ever watched.

This was one of them and it's one of the the absolute worst horror films i have ever watched. I thought this movie would be about a killer going to kill some teens and spoiler alert: It doesn't **** happen until near the end of the movie. For most of the movie, we have to put up with **** whiny, drunken teenage girls. It was **** exhausting and i just wanted to blow my brains out. The only good thing about this abomination is the dad. The dad acted like a psychopath and i thought to myself, "how is this guy not playing the Joker right now?" If you love horror movies, then here's a tip for you: STAY THE **** AWAY FROM THIS FILM!

Holy s***, that is an hour and a half in my life I will never get back. This movie was all around a mess. The plot was hard to follow and jumped around, the dialogue was ridiculous and downright stupid half the time. There isn't even anyHoly s***, that is an hour and a half in my life I will never get back. This movie was all around a mess. The plot was hard to follow and jumped around, the dialogue was ridiculous and downright stupid half the time. There isn't even any action until pretty much the very end of the movie. The rest is listening to a group of brats having unbelievably cliche conversations, being annoying, and laughing. At the end there's like some kind of message or lesson about the danger of social media that was so poorly executed it took me a minute to understand their angle. On top of that there's like knock-off, off-brand pop-ups of different emojis, bejeweled graphics, and just to make it even dumber, a hashtag with a knife. I am not exaggerating when I say that I wanted to punch myself in the face multiple times watching this. The only reason I didn't turn it off was because I had already invested so much time in it. I would give it a negative rating if I could, and am willing to say with no remorse to those involved this may be the worst film I have ever seen in my life. The only way I think this movie could be enjoyed is watching it high or drunk with friends, and going into it with the idea that it's a comedy. But even then, it isn't funny, clever, or witty. I wish there was a way to personally punish the creators of this travesty, because they punished me tonight. Expand

The only thing I'm scared of is where the genre is going. If anyone NOT being paid to support this movie can genuinely say it has any redeemable quality, they've got some really good drugs on hand.
