Clickbait

Really enjoyed this film. I must say that I don't normally leave reviews, but I really appreciated this film. The acting was refreshing and found myself genuinely cracking up at certain moments, but I must highlight the writing in this film. Put simply, it's fantastic. It's a must watch! Thanks!

Why do I ever watch anything on Plex?

Another late night Plex hunt finding this. Clickbait a movie with no plot and everything about it is done poorly. Acting, camerawork, music, plot. Nothing really works here. Blending horror and comedy is tough and very few people can do it successfully. Doing it because your horror movie wasn't scary to begin with is something else. This is a no effort movie dumped onto whatever streaming service will have it and, in the end, it succeeds at nothing. It´s not scary, it´s not funny, it´s nothing.

An internet celebrity and her nerdy friend is stalked by an insane fan.

The acting in this movie is really bad. From the delivery to the face acting everything is clearly someone´s first gig. The way lines are delivered makes everything sound like no one cares about anything in the movie and except for some screaming at the end, everything is delivered horrendously. The voice over at times doesn't help either. Some scenes clearly had the lines dupped over and the sound mixing is not hiding it well.

This isn't helped by the most stale camera ever. All the angels are basic and boring and nothing is really happening in frames. It´s just wide shuts and close ups without any meaning or variety to it.

The comedy goes from bland to unfunny to kid's humour. It´s all over the place and has no tone nor identity. The delivery doesn't help it either, making the actors sound like they don't really believe the jokes either. The humour is fart humour, sex humour and some "I´m smarter than you" humour. Again it´s kidish and not really something worth seeing.

This movie says nothing, even though it had a chance to do so. About fame and internet culture. About real and fake friendships. Instead it wastes it´s entire runtime with basically nothing and the plot really kicks in the last 15 minutes of this 1 hour 14 movie, I´m not joking. Nothing happens in the rest of the movie. You could look away from the screen for an hour and still kind of follow along. It´s insane to me how bad this movie is and how poorly executed it is. And the twist really is wasted and the mystrey is easily solwed, yet really stupid in general.

This is just a huge waste of time and really offers you nothing. Nothing over the top, nothing to laugh at, nothing to cling to for any form of entertainment. You are just left with nothing here other than wasting time.

Silliness about a self-centered, college kid, peripheral, internet "star" who cares only about her viewership and does whatever it takes to increase it. When she goes missing her plain-jane bestie comes to the rescue. Some cartoonish elements are bewildering like the soft sculpture cadavers.

It's not a horrible movie. The film quality is really good, I thought the acting was really good by the 2 lead actresses, Colby Stewart and Brandi Aguilar. They are definitely 2 stars in the making, their on-screen chemistry was really good, and they're both cute. I was not a fan of fake commercials in the movie, I didn't get them? It throws off the plot of the movie and I got lost. So a lot of times the plot gets confusing. And while I will not give away any spoilers, the ending was a bit disappointing too. Like there needed to be more to give closure....so the ending was a bit of let down. All in all, the movie kept my attention, but there were some missing plot holes that I wanted to know the answer to...that we never really get to know the answers to. It's a cute movie though. It's entertaining. Funny at times. I think the 2 young lead actresses make the movie worth watching with their performances, with the otherwise just "okay" script and plot holes. I give it a 6 out of 10 for the reasons I said. It's a good movie to pass the time.

Clickbait is a very clever look at fame culture, but in a different light than most similar movies. It's not an indictment of the people caught up in it, but rather the society that forces them to participate in order to be successful. I saw a Q&A where the directors talked about how the whole movie is intended to get the viewer to reflect on their own choices about how they consume on the internet. That's an important message. And Toot Strudels are funny as hell!
