a review of
A cheap Unfriended knockoff where a couple of highschool girls get their supernatural comeuppance after posting hateful words on a dead chick's Facebook page. Notable for featuring performances from a pre-To All the Boys... Noah Centineo and a YouTuber known more for his many controversies than actually entertaining his fans. Honestly, I watched this to see just how egregiously terrible a movie starring Logan Paul would be only to end up surprised that, not only can the dude legitimately act, while still bad it's not nearly as awful as you may expect. Director Tim Shechmeister has a few decently creepy ideas that show the potential he could have in the genre if handed some better material. His frights simply lose steam the further he strays away from the technology-based scares into generic haunting tropes that take place in dark classrooms and cluttered basements as opposed to in front of computer/smartphone screens. It might also be a little too geared towards teens as outside of brief instances the world seems devoid of parents or any other real authority figures, allowing these young adults to do things like stroll into private schools they don't attend and dig through their files well into the night without a single faculty member taking issue with it. Something that destroys the believability of the writing. The biggest problem though is that it's ghost is too clearly just a girl in bad face paint. As you probably guessed long before reading this, the movie isn't worth watching. However, the thoughts your mind likely cooked up of this having a particularly loathsome lack of quality are a bit overblown. Rather, it's merely on par with your average, forgettable straight-to-DVD dreck as it plays off of a much better (and underrated) work that delivers the whole anti-cyberbullying concept more effectively. Still, I think between this and Ouija if I ever stumble across another horror flick with Ana Coto in it I'm just going to look away.
