Quote:
|
Laura is a popular college student who is highly active on social media, which includes her Facebook account (totaling over 800 friends!). She then receives a friend request from Marina Mills, a classmate she barely knows & who has no Facebook friends. Out of pity she accepts the request. After being messaged constantly by Marina she decides to lie about going out for her birthday in order to avoid her, however photos from the evening end up on Facebook and soon after Marina attacks Laura at school before filming herself committing suicide, which is posted all over Facebook. Following the suicide Laura and her friends come under attack from a demonic force that appears to be Marina out for revenge.

Initially it delivered few fairly done jump scares but later it seems they just ran out of idea on how to scare the audience more with sudden loud sound & creepy encounters of the ghost. Moreover the ending was also a let down, expected a lot more 'fun' at the finale. Overall, typical plot but not that bad, found it at least far better than
Unfriended (2014).
