   @ChrisReynolds, not sure what movie you saw, but none of the characters were mean girls or jocks. Regardless, the movie was bad. 6 years 6 months ago

   There should be a drinking game for how many jump scares there are. 7 years 7 months ago

   I was actually very pleasantly surprised by this. So without further ado, let's get into it.
   
   Pros: The film is genuinely engaging. I did not feel bored or annoyed at all during the duration of this film and I honestly expected to.
   Gorgeous cinematography. The camera work deserves a better film to go along with it so whoever that was, kudos.
   Oh yeah, um also I have huge crush on Kobe.
   
   Cons: I feel like they could have delved more into the first part, perhaps made that around half of the film. The initial story has a lot of material that could have been looked into more and would have made the plot more interesting. Sadly it devolved into formulaic slasher mode.
   The jump scares and scary imagery are not well used. I could have done without them.
   
   Overall I think this film is a lot better than most of the 'social media slashers' that have been coming out. I really like the idea of incorporating social media into the modern horror tropes because I think it can help contextualize the story and help people of my age and younger relate to these films, which in turn makes them that much scarier- but sadly a lot of the movies that attempt to do this just end up using the social media aspect as a gimmick, or the tech aspect is highly unrealistic due to using imaginary sites or programs that aren't even halfway believable. Luckily this one delivered a genuine and normal portrayal of the programs and websites people use. 5 years 11 months ago
