Friend Request Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
Jamie Righetti
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.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Friend Request" is less insightful than a tossed off status update. Request denied.
RogerEbert.com
Mark Dujsik
When dealing with something as stale and formulaic as Friend Request, you have to take what you can get.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
It's flimsy genre junk of the most generic variety, just with a really groan-worthy Facebook spin.
Salon.com
Matthew Rozsa
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.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Evil is trending, indeed.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
Despite a few well-timed jump scares, "Friend Request" never really builds much tension.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
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.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Do yourself a favor and unsubscribe.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
It predictably utilizes Facebook to superficially spit-shine another wanly Americanized J-horror retread.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
It's a film devoid of subtext, which is especially disappointing given that the subtext would have been so easy to incorporate.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
So gloriously dumb that it is surprisingly a whole lot of fun.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
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.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Flimsy and forgettable ... seems made with the sole aim of being perfectly adequate background noise for something else.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A senseless and forgettable second-rate horror film.
Seven Days (VT)
Rick Kisonak
This is a film in which a goth from beyond the grave exacts revenge for being unfriended by-are you sitting down?-making her victim less popular on Facebook. The horror!
JoBlo's Movie Network
JimmyO
With October coming up, fans are going to want to get their horror fix, and frankly this isn't it. If you get this FRIEND REQUEST, make sure you delete it.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
There's no indication... that Friend Request has the smallest clue how actual college students use anything at all.
Screen It!
Jim Judy
It's really bad. As in "Please let the supernatural entity kill everyone as expeditiously as possible so that the ending will arrive and everyone can leave" bad. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, Scares, etc. - also Available)
Reel Reviews
Frank Wilkins
An ill-conceived, poorly executed, total mess of an attempt to mine terror from a popular cultural phenomenon
