Dislike

About This Movie

So, 'Dislike' is a curious little horror flick from 2016, and honestly, it dives into that whole social media influencer culture with a pretty dark twist. The setup is intriguing; a group of popular vloggers lured to a mansion to sample this new energy drink, only to find themselves in a deadly game. It has a claustrophobic feel, like every room is closing in on them as they try to unravel who among them is the real threat. The pacing is decent, not too rushed, allowing for some character exploration, which is rare for this genre. The practical effects are commendable, and the performances—while not Oscars material—do capture that blend of anxiety and bravado typical of the online fame game. It's distinct in how it tackles modern fears of online persona and survival.
