Friend Request - Phelous

[@AlbinoLoki]

It annoys me how this movie treats Marina, who's extremely lonely and wrecked with trauma and antagonize her. It kinda gives the message of "lonely people with mental illness are psychotic and should not be interacted with because they got evil witch powers. Let's instead sympathize with the rich priviliged popular girl"

[@Theladywiththeblackdress]

"I can't believe she invited all her 800 friends except me" OMG PHELOUS I LOVE YOU

[@sillygrl23]

I agree with Phelous that having 0 Friends would be a tad unrealistic, depending on the situation she would probably have Family Members that would friend her, and anyone that sees her artwork whether they are goth or not would be impressed by that and Friend her to see more, particularly people online who are in the creative online art community. Very unrealistic even for a movie.

[@TheBonkleFox]

[@HerrDeutschBlood]

I think the real villain of this movie was Mark Zuckerburg. His website seems to be letting people possess different accounts and making people die in the most horrendous deaths while he's probably swimming in his bathtub of money and not giving a single shit in the world about what happens when people unfriend one another.

[@FarelForever]

I tried to come up with a good response to that, but I think I can't top that. It's ingenious!

[@KuWota2k]

***** you are truly a god.

[@TheMellowFilmmaker]

A creepy Facebook film could actually work if they ditch the supernatural stuff and have it be more realistic. Have it where the villain is a creepy hacker that becomes obsessed with a girl, finds out all the information about her on the internet he can find, stalks her in real life, and becomes possessive of her. That would actually be creepy.

[@alucardyoici]

yes but already done even without internet, which is usually creepier since it means the guy is close enough to break in the person's house and interrogate workers

[@EvilDoresh]

That would be Doxxed.

[@H20No]

TheMellowFilmmaker reminds me of that one Jim Carey movie

[@H20No]

Project Reel Ripping. Yeah that's it

[@Nightrace99]

They already did this, it's called 'The Den' (funny enough, I think Unfriended was inspired by it, and Friend Request was inspired by Unfriended, meaning Friend Request was ultimately inspired by a movie with the plot you suggested. The Den is also better than both of them because the villain is a real person (not a ghost) and he actually lures the girl out of her house, or enters her house in disguise, and kills people she knows, or in general mindfucks her, all while hacking her computer to communicate with her. Also means every person she meets or knows in real life could be the killer, which makes it more paranoid.

[@TheLadyofthewest]

I never understand how these things are supposed to be karmic punishment for the main characters when they didn't actually do anything wrong to begin with? At least the idiots in Unfriended pulled a mean prank, this idiot just stopped talking to a crazy person who was harassing her.

[@alucardyoici]

They aren't karmic punishment it's a horror movie. The girl from the Ring wasn't Batman. Leatherface wasn't defending his home from stranger and that girl was just another person that wants to kill over slight justifications

[@TheLadyofthewest]

Well sure, but there's different kinds of horror movies. In this type of movie that's specifically in a school setting and about a dead classmate, it usually because the main character(s) did something, ie in bullying in Unfriended, Tamara, Carrie, ect so when the kid snaps it ends up being karmic punishment for the bullies.

[@EvilDoresh]

I dunno, this almost comes across like Marina did this on purpose. Remember Thinner, aka "Archetypical Gypsie Curse Movie"? Now imagine a remake where the old lady does not get run over because the protagonist is an asshole, but because she _jumps in front of the car_. Same general idea, really.

[@TheLadyofthewest]

That's a good point. Maybe it could also be like the "moral" choice in something like Drag Me To Hell. The protag in that /could/ have given witch granny a loan but she'd already had 3 chances, so denying her was fair but it wasn't the kindest option. It seems asinine to the audience because it was witch granny's fault for not paying but it sort of works like old fairytales where it's necessarily being cruel that'll get you in trouble, but not choosing the kindest option (even if it's reasonable and neutral at worst). I mean both movies are shit either way but yeah

[@EvilDoresh]

***** Exactly. A character _can_ make a wrong, dickish or mean decision without having to be a total jerk 24/7. But horror movies can't into nuance.

[@Iamafishproductions]

This movie's plot is hitting all the same notes as a bad, cliched creepypasta, it's no wonder Phelous keeps lapsing into Old Man voice. HEEEEE!

[@dunes8817]

This movie surely isn't going to be dated in a few years.

[@ChaoticPesme75]

I think it's already dated for how much garbage tropes it recycles.

[@TheMellowFilmmaker]

Things can be dated when stuff is used as cultural short hand or there are plots and jokes about stuff that are happening at the time. Like a movie referencing an internet meme might be funny at the time, but then ten years later less people get it (even people who were there barely remember it). Things can also be dated by how attitudes and morals change over the years or how we learn new things that make old common knowledge obsolete. For example, Frankie from Beach Party would probably be seen as a villain if there film was made in the 80s or 90s, but since the film was made in the 60s he's the hero.

[@PrimeTF]

It's already dated.

[@ryansg1000]

At least it wasn't a Vine movie, then it would be.

[@Crrrow]

atleast if it was a vine movie it'd be five seconds long

[@KOTEBANAROT]

"Wasp factory" sounds like a much better concept for a horror movie

[@purpletomatocinema]

You know, the movie came across as a psycho-thriller. Laura befriends Marina, who becomes obsessed with her and starts stalking her. Laura blocks Marina for being too creepy so Marina takes revenge and posts rude stuff about Laura and some people now have a different perspective of Laura. It gets out of hand to the point Laura goes insane. I would love to watch that kind of movie. Not only it's suspenseful but that kind of stuff really happens all the time.

... You know what the weirdest thing is?

Except somehow, somehow it utterly and hilariously fails on every level on the execution. (Plus it forgets to make the character a horrible person whose abandonment was actually deserved... this Laura is just basically a victim of what Hollywood for some stupid reason still thinks codependency looks like.)

I always loved the horror reviews best over the last 8 years. Congratulations on 50,000 subs.

[@Landfall364]

Don't underestimate the power of a pop tart jumpscare. It made me drop a plate once.

[@PKMN37]

Hollywood, do us all a favor, no more Facebook movies.

[@valeriaabsinthe]

8:54 I don't care if it's haunted, I want that fucking mirror lol

[@CreditR01]

I really don't understand why these movies act like they're tech-savvy and then proceed to ignore virtually everything about how technology works. Like disregarding spam, ignoring that people get hacked, and using things like Chat Roulette years after everyone's forgotten it exists. You can't take modern conveniences into account and then act like it's the fucking 90's or earlier. (They also make all the cops in these movies fucking morons.) Unfriended at least didn't pretend its main cast weren't a bunch of assholes and watching them slowly destroy each other was kind of interesting if not at least satisfying. If this movie expects us to feel bad for Marina when she acted like a fucking cyber stalker, they didn't do nearly a good enough job of making Laura 'worthy' enough of this haunting bullshit.

[@EvilDoresh]

I think the problem is that these movies tend to be written an directed by olders guys who are apparently not very up to date or something. Or the scripts are really that old.

[@Crrrow]

It's probably because these are the same fear mongering asswipes that say that violent videogames will turn your kid into an edgy 4chan school shooters when they don't know what half of those words even mean.

[@PaceBreaker]

You just know someone tried to pass off the whole being stabbed thing as "It's a movie, duh. Doesn't have to be realistic. Not everyone's a medical professional, geez."

[@mandatory1709]

I don't think this movie gets that it's really really easy to have thousands of friends on Facebook and no one is actually proud of how many friends they have on there

[@goob_goob_gooby_goob]

I feel as if Marina should just get into making KZbin Poops. I think she’d be pretty good at it. Ok, maybe not good, but at least... “passable”?

[@SarahsKnight0]

I once went on a date with a girl named Marina and am still friends with her today .... Does this mean she's going to reveal herself to be an overbearing Goth girl obsessed with the macabre and haunt me forever if I get scared off and unfriend her on Facebook? .... Oh, wait. Marina is just one solid name in this case; not a pretentious "Ma Rina", with the space between. I guess I'm safe.

[@gaumatz9039]

I love the way he says 'AND HE DIIIEEES' 😃

[@omguho]

"How could this happen to me?? I've never made any cyber mistake. Well except for everything I've done." The fucking best.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Dang, how many more internet ghost films are there?

[@HouseCatTV]

Hopefully enough to entertain us in perpetuity!

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Get the red tape.

[@EvilDoresh]

I'm waiting for a movie about a haunted "Enlarge your penis!" mail.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

EvilDoresh I'd watch that.

[@masterofgaburincho]

I'm waiting for the vaporwave horror movie so I can see less people posting about that shitty music genre. The plot to it is that it's calm and nostalgic at first, but then the calming music gets twisted into intensely scary music with satanic chanting in the background and the neon nostalgic scenery starts turning into graphic and bloody scenes. Oh, and everyone, including the main character, ends up dying.

[@jasonlee6062]

Such a nice surprise every time there's a new Phelous horror movie review, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. Thanks, Phelous.

[@GloombyBoy]

Dang it I missed you hitting 50,000 subscribers. Well, I guess I'll say it now, I'm so happy to see you get 50,000 subs. I've been watching ever since you were still on that guy with the glasses, and I honestly preferred you over Doug anyway. Can't wait for 60,000.

[@culwin]

He'll never get 60,000 now because he unfriended an internet ghost.

[@skyhazel6205]

He actually used to have 70,000... enjoy him while you can before his inevitable transformation into Phe Lan...

[@EpicJasonX9000]

and I thought the way to clear up Cyberdemons was either 45 Rocket Launcher missiles and/or 3-4 BFG shots. the Plasma Gun also works as well.

[@alicedarhk9790]

Doug is the new Marina

[@Pastshelfdate]

Hi, Phelouss, I think I just realized one more reason I get so much out of your reviews, and keep coming back. Someone with actual professional training said that lots of people find horror movies good for dealing with depression. Mine is in remission, but I still have to be careful. I never have liked being scared, but I figured out a way to experience a pretty good horror movie, the English language remake "The Grudge," with RiffTrax. And your reviews are like short subject versions, wonderful little snacks of comedy and horror. Thanks for creating so many of these, and putting so much into all of them. I can tell you're doing what you enjoy and do well, which I hope is a working recipe for success for you. :)

[@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787]

If marina was more of a likable but misunderstood lonely person verses a creepy crazy stalker from the getgo this might’ve worked better. Or if she was a crazy stalker don’t treat it like the main is in the wrong or maybe have it be a stalker horror more

[@danathurmond4340]

Thanks for doing more horror. That's why I started watching your channel years ago, and what I continuously look for. The other stuff is good, but the horror is where you really shine.

[@gracekim1998]

Um all of his content is cool, mate

[@jongauthier9289]

Alright! New Phelous! My night is complete!

[@kevinwr7093]

I loved leaving my phone under my speakers so I can hear a text or call coming in before it happened. That little "blip la blip blippty blip" was comforting.

[@rustinpeace1992]

Facebook horror movies are a thing now ?

[@EvilDoresh]

Any hopes that movie actually knows how to do hashtags? Or do we get a #HashTagKillDotCom#

[@EvilDoresh]

UltiGeek I'm actually more shocked at the correct use of hashtags than the shitty ending. I bet it had some last minute "Evil demonic face Twitter ghost screaches into camera" or some bullshit.

[@EvilDoresh]

UltiGeek So they're now even starting to fail at shitty horror movie endings? This world is doomed.

[@AmaryInkawult]

Imagine if they did a MySpace movie...I mean it's scary because the site is dead. Spooky.

[@thealientree3821]

Yup, and they are as cheesy as their jokes.

[@Mokona127]

I just came across you a few weeks from now and binge-watched basically everything. Seeing your current stuff now, I have to say you mighty improved. Keep up the good work! ^^

[@Parai666]

love it when movie cops are bone dead stupid... "we suspect you of uploading these videos...but were not gonna take your computer/laptop for analysis...also we can't link the uploads to you IP addresses...but we're still gonna suspect the shit out of you and blame you for all these events even though we have zero solid evidence.." Once again I feel like these movies might have had potential...hell I think a movie just about a stalker friend without the silly supernatural stuff would have been pretty good. Keep Ma Rina as an awkward social outcast, maybe even explore and give more weight to the hair pulling thing. Have her latch on to Laura, maybe because she could have been the first person outside the internet to have shown her some interest and then things start turning for the worse as Ma Rina realizes that Laura has other friends and can't monopolize her time. So as a misguided and twisted solution, she hacks Laura's facebook and starts posting disturbing videos and images to drive away her other friends, with the plan of becoming her only friend...yeah my idea is still stupid but I still think it would have been more interesting.

[@tomknoll5546]

Like your idea. Also, she could be killling her friends in real life in some sick twisted way to remain Laura's only "friend".

[@vendy-py7247]

Didn't know that the unknown Pokemon were the true bad guys all along

[@BK-jn9cp]

Im gonna go write a sequel called Link'd In: This Time its Personal. You think Blumhouse would buy it?

[@marytijerina9764]

"Unfriend that dead b****!" Me: Wasn't that what caused this whole mess in the first place?

[@jaxparra8168]

unknown pokemon code

[@johnalogue9832]

unown.

[@gr8kat1]

But... it's so hard to complete Farmville quests when you don't have "friends" to spam for requests! That's the real horror of a dropping friend count!

[@k-trashradio5163]

aww man I though when I got notified about this I thought it was an ACTUAL friend request from phelous himself =(

[@lapytop]

YES! I was missing these, although your analysis of 80s cartoons has been pretty damn good so I guess I didn't miss these as much as I would expect.

[@andreasnickmann370]

I think we should be enemies.

[@WolfoftheDM]

this guy is living in the future and we're all still just HERE "She can't make you lonely if you're dead." GENIUS

[@Loboking2015]

I was sitting here wondering if facebook would have just taken down the suicide videos, but then I remember some extremely grotesque things on facebook
