fuckkkk i (unironically! genuinely!) love really shitty/tone deaf/offensive depictions of youth/internet culture and mental illness!!

after the krazy girl hangs and sets fire to herself on camera and posts it to her #victim 's fakebook account, the final girl goes to a kewl tattoed hacker boy she knows for help and her actual boyfriend is like "do i have to worry about u seeing him in his dorm room!!" yes now is the time to get possessive and paternalistic about ur girl, dude! right when she's being cyberstalked by a spooky witch ghost is when you need to assert your ownership over your gf because she talked to a male friend aslkghaklhgkasg

i'm pretty sure undergrads arent even on facebook…

Facebook really needs to examine its security protocols and quit acting like it doesn't possess extreme vulnerability to the threat of lonely mentally-ill witches hacking Facebook using witchcode and suicide rituals in order to get revenge upon those they are unsuccessfully cyberstalking because this is clearly going to be an even larger issue than it is today if FB does not immediately employ a staff of counter-hexers to investigate and witch-proof its site. Everyone could end up friendless!

As far as sensitivity towards witches, the lonely, those suffering from mental illness (esp. in regards toward trichotillomania which can be a horrible condition to deal with) goes, Friend Request earns its F grade for keeps, yet it is such a dark…

While Friend Request was Germany's answer to the popularity of Unfriended, I sort of preferred this to the successful 2014 film??

Friend Request is playing into both the modern witch wave and the anxiety of social media users, sure, it's far from an instant classic, but I like to think of it as a relic of 2016, if we bury it for long enough, in 2030 someone will unearth this time capsule of a film and laugh at us for being so fucking ridiculous.

Maybe it all boils down to the fact that I had incredibly low expectations going…
