Fatal Friend Request offers a chilling look at the dark side of social media. You’ve got Vanessa, whose overzealous sharing of her life ends up drawing in a rather sinister figure. The atmosphere is tense, almost claustrophobic at times, punctuated with a steady pacing that keeps you on edge. The film dives into themes of identity and the consequences of our online presence, which feels all too relevant today. The performances, while not groundbreaking, carry a weight that makes you empathize with Vanessa's plight. It's an interesting mix of psychological thriller and cautionary tale, with some practical effects that ground the horror in reality. Definitely leaves an impression, especially for those of us who appreciate the complexities of online life.
