“Fatal Friend Request” (** out of four) was a slick but empty, predictable thriller about a successful restaurant owner (Bree Williamson) who begins to use social media for the first time and is soon progressively stalked by a woman (Sarah Lind) who turns out to be the biological mother of her adopted daughter (Annelise Pollman) and turns out to be a deranged nutjob who will stop at nothing to get her back……….and we’re into another cliched revenge stalker melodrama. By the standards of these direct-to-DVD/made-for-television revenge stories, this isn’t bad and is well-acted, but by now you’ve seen it all before plenty. Pollman in particular is strong as the daughter caught in the middle of all this.
