Does anyone else think this was better than unfriended?


There was way too much group webcam stuff in ufriended, they should of used a combination of webcam and regular format filming...it just wasn't scary to me. Friend Request was way better, imo!

reply

No. =P Well I though Unfriended was better and thought this one had too many similarities to that film. Unfriended was creepy since one can relate to sitting by one self in front of the computer. Made it more real and creepy. I liked it.

reply

Sorry, have to disagree!...=p The whole "split screen webcam gimmick" just wasn't scary to me. The story line was ok, but would of liked it better if was like i mentioned in my op. Also, i thought the movie Ratter was more creepier than unfriended too.

reply

Sorry fans of Unfriended but Friend Request was heaps better (you did care for the players, while in Unfriended, the players played horrible characters (that overweight kid was annoying as well)).
And Friend Request was a lot more scarier as well.

Each to their own...let it be.

reply

Ya, everyone has different tastes i guess. Glad some ppl agree with me though.

reply

exactly, scarier and better in every way. you cared for the main girl in FR and every character in unfriended was so generic and bland that you couldn't care for any character in it.

reply

I did like this one better actually.
Unfriended was intense and good also, but I find this one sadder and depressing.

reply

Thanks! glad i'm not the only who feels this way.

reply

I agree with ya Otis, FRIEND REQUEST is heaps better than Unfriended (my mates agree with you also...we love Friend Request.

reply

FR is the better film, it's a lot better than unfriended which is just a basic and generic slasher movie dressed up to seem great just because of the modern technology aspect.

reply

I liked Unfriended better. Agree with the guys above that Unfriended felt 'real'.
Both were still garbage-tier horror flicks in general.

reply

Oh.

reply

I haven't seen this, but anything has to be better than Unfriended. It was annoying that the entire movie was webcams, and half the typing was so small I couldn't read what was being said.

reply

No. But they were close... liked Unfriended slightly better... to me it was scarier and Friend Request felt too MTV-ish for my taste.

reply

UNFRIENDED - 8/10
FRIEND REQUEST - 4/10

reply

Oh this was easily miles better than Unfriended. Although I don't think either film was all that great, Friend Request was still the better film on almost every level.

reply

almost every level, what level was friend request not better than unfriended? are you just talking about girl hotness and beauty?

reply

i just made a post about this. yes, without a doubt, friend request is substantially and significantly better than unfriended. unfriended is just a forgettable basic, and shallow slasher movie disguised to be something more just because of it's modern technology aspect. friend request is so much deeper in terms of original plot ideas, scare scenes, details, original ideas, and character development than unfriended. it's so much more of a fulfilling experience watching friend request compared to watching unfriended.

the 5.3 rating on here is a joke. this film, friend request should be at 7.0 on here because it's a 7.0 out of 10 rating film.
