#FRIEND REQUEST 2016 FULL MOVIE FREE ONLINE MOVIE#One of the other major problems I had with the movie is this whole subplot of Marina doing some sort of scrying ritual in order to get her revenge by becoming some sort of malevolent spirit after her death. Perhaps that's a little harsh to say, but there's really nothing to this movie that warrants recommendation. In fact, this is like Unfriended and Final Destination had a baby and that baby ended up being this sad excuse for a movie. #FRIEND REQUEST 2016 FULL MOVIE FREE ONLINE SKIN#And that's fine, but that modernity is only skin deep, since there's nothing underneath the surface that you haven't seen done better elsewhere, like Unfriended. The whole social media thing is a way to appear to be modern and relevant with today's digital age, where we rely more on electronic devices than ever before. But the only thing you get to see is her friend count go down every couple of scenes as her friends keep dying and Laura "shares" the videos of their deaths on her profile. ![]() ![]() The idea of Marina's revenge seems to be to erode Laura's friends' list on Facebook (even though it's never mentioned by name) so she can know how lonely Marina felt, when she was alive at least. It's really not as relevant as you think it would be. The whole thing with social media is really just a plot device. That would have been, at least, somewhat cool. Marina is clearly depressed, but it would have worked better if Laura valued her social media more than Marina's friendship and/or life, even. It should have been the other way around. But it shouldn't have been that Marina is a creepy girl who, quickly, becomes obsessed with Laura for being nice to her. There'd at least be a kernel of truth in that, since I'm sure plenty of people don't want a certain kind of person watching their every post on social media. I mean, there's still SOME of that here, but I don't think Laura is as obsessed with keeping her social media pristine as much as she should be. But, realistically speaking, there's nothing to Laura as a character, so her being a bitch to Marina for, essentially, reaching out and trying to find a friend would have been better than what we did get. Of course, this means making Laura into an unlikable character. Like Laura's obsession with maintaining a pristine Facebook profile being thrown into disarray when she befriends a strange girl that, seemingly, has no one in her life. I feel that this movie could have certainly touched on that obsession with social media in a way that wouldn't necessarily have been fresh and exciting, but it could have been an interesting perspective regardless. They want to be popular, they want the views, the likes, the shares, etc, etc. There's a reason why you see a bunch of people doing these stupid internet challenges. ![]() And I can see how someone might become obsessed with the idea of social media, having lots of friends on Facebook and followers on Instagram/Twitter. But I, of course, use it like most people my age. I have other shit I have to do to be preoccupied with what's going on social media. As far as social media is concerned, I'm not obsessed with it. Here I am, talking like I'm some old fucker when I just turned 30 like three months ago. I get the whole concept, of course, and I don't know if I'd say I like it, but it's a concept that's relevant in today's day and age with social media, seemingly, taking over young people's lives. Having said that, barring some sort of uncontrollable incident (like another fucking hurricane), I don't plan to stay away from horror movies this long again, damnit! But, sadly, this is the movie that I choose to come back to from that little 'hiatus'. There's obviously still some more serious movies here and there but, for the most part, I stuck with lighter movies to cheer me up, even if they may not have ended up being great films. What is wrong with me? Seriously though, it just wasn't a good month and that's why a good chunk of the movies I reviewed ended up being comedies. That's almost a month without my beloved horror movies. I don't really count the last Tremors movie, which I reviewed a couple of days ago. I don't, but if we're talking only 'serious' horror movies only, then you have to go back a couple of days prior to that to Before I Wake. Can you believe that it's been a little over three weeks since I last reviewed a horror movie? The movie in question being Patchwork and some would even disqualify that given that it's a comedy. ![]()
