“Friend Request” (*** out of four) was a chilling horror thriller about a college student (Alycia Debnam-Carey) who befriends and then unfriends a mysterious girl online but then finds her closest friends being murdered one by one. Story goes a little over-the-top and gets excessive but it’s kept watchable by solid performances and filmmaking and a good amount of thrills and scares. Director Simon Verhoeven shows a flair for striking imagery and style in his first horror movie.
