About This Movie

First Like is a curious blend of comedy and horror that plays with the absurdity of social media culture. It’s not just about the scares; it’s the satirical edge that makes it stand out. The pacing is tight, and the humor often arises from the characters' over-the-top reactions to their dire situations, which adds a unique flavor. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, emphasizing the horror without overshadowing the comedy. While the director remains unknown, the performances are surprisingly engaging, capturing the overzealous nature of social media enthusiasts. It’s a short film, but it packs a punch in its commentary on likes, mortality, and the often ridiculous lengths people go to for validation.
