Clickbait: Unfollowed

This movie started off different with gen Z and seemed interesting before the group started dying off. Within 30 minutes, is when things took a bad turn and started getting dumb with the low budget killing scenes. I did not see any funny scenes that made me say, wow that was funny and the plot at the end was just plain stupid. I really cringe at the sex scene that did not make any sense to even why it had to be placed in the movie. The pace of this movie was all over the place and the directors need to not make any more films if this is the best they can come up with. I recommend not watching this movie and find something else to occupy your time.

I watched this with friends and we all had a great time. It was funny, witty and absolutely crazy. The horror scenes were gory and we kept thinking how on earth did they come up with such crazy ways for murder. The dialogues are catchy and memorable. The acting was superb with all the actors fitting their roles perfectly. The sattire on todays obsession with social media likes felt quite apt. The relationship between the two sisters was the highlight of the movie for me.

Although this isn't a genre I usually watch, I enjoyed particularly how the movie married horror and comedy perfectly. Really hoping they make a sequel. All round fun and craziness - The writers/directors sure had fun and they transferred that to us, the viewers.

I will be watching it again soon.

Called out to a remote mansion, a pair of influencers arrive to find other influencers at the house on the same mission where they find themselves competing against each other in a series of dangerous games for their hosts where the losers are killed off, forcing them to get away alive.

This was a much better feature than expected. One of the finer points of this one is the fun way this goes about subverting the expectations of everyone during the game. The fact that everyone tends to play by rather obvious influencer personalities and tropes with the self-help guru, fitness freak, make-up guide, positivity promoter, money maker, and the kid with a stage mom all come together with it seemingly being obvious who they're going to be and what type of personalities they all have. Instead of going with the obvious, there's some fun to be had with the different ways the group shows off how different they really are with the way they go about changing up the formula involving the group coming together to help each other in between the games and making sure they stay involved in the process, coming together as the rounds get tougher and more vicious. That gives the games they play throughout here a lot of fun integrating games with deadly consequences. Operating on the idea that they have to lay bare their soul even if it doesn't equate to their cultivated image beforehand makes this one feature some ingenious challenges including filming videos about their true self or trying to create a viral sales pitch under the guidelines imposed upon them at the last minute with gruesome implications for failure, it makes for a fun touch here to see how this plays out here. As the games continue and the idea of fighting back starts to impact how it's played, this one gets some intriguing twists and revelations out to help make the games even more impactful as the manipulation to figure out what's going on at the house. With some decent enough gore in the games, these are enough to give this one some positive points although there are a few issues with this one that hold it down. Among its biggest drawbacks is the weird decision to unveil the mastermind and the plot behind everything at the mid-way point in the film, only to continue the games anyway. There's little reason why this one would go about introducing a storyline where they figure out the secret villains in such a manner as they do where it comes together logically yet still seemingly accidentally blurting out everything yet then putting the pieces together later on while then going on with the games anyway. Hence, this feels like a highly contrived setup. The other issue here is an equal amount of flimsy knowledge about who these people are, using just these bare outlines of plot points and character development about the world they're involved in which makes for a lot of guesswork to help figure things out. These all bring this one down overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, a sex scene, and children-in-jeopardy.

I watched this movie with my friend and it was a heck of a time. We both had a lot of fun and it was a funny movie to watch. Instead of watching Brokeback Mountain we picked Clickbait: Unfollowed. And it was the best choice of our lives. This movie has changed our lives and taught us real world important lessons. It taught us to always be careful of how we trust and to make sure we know our real friends. This movie has left a big impact in our life and we can not go a day without thinking of Clickbait: Unfollowed. We are in dire need of the second movie and need it right now due to how good the movie was. We loved it. The ending was good and possibly the best ending i have ever seen.

Stumbling into this film, I knew very little about it. Being into the horror gameshow plots such as "Escape Room" and "Cube", I decided to give it a watch.

The film moreso reminded me of "Influencer", another film in the horror/dark comedy genre. This film tilts more towards goofy comedy and mediocre script and acting, as any classic horror movie.

It keeps you entertained and laughing at times, not necessarily because it's the best horror comedy you've ever watched, but because there's an element of fairness, integrity, values and influencer dynamics.

One will discover that it's not just everyday people who'll get on each others nerves...

Bonus that one can't tell it was all shot in South Africa with mostly south african actors/actresses.
