So we went to the cinema yesterday, we being me, Amy and Tom to see a horror film called Friend Request. Tom enjoys a horror, as do I whereas Amy is quite happy to cover her eyes and ears and pretend that it isn't happening. Both approaches work pretty well. Here's a link to the IMDB page if you'd like to read up and look at the actors/actresses in the film.
I always find with horrors you get a niche pool who tend not to appear in any other genres. For example, the main character (Alycia Debnam-Carey) in this, the only other thing I recognise her from is Fear The Walking Dead - and by that I mean I watched one episode and forgot to carry on because it's awesome. Whilst I have no problem with this, it does throw me off a little bit. For example, whenever I see Patrick Wilson in a trailer now I think they're making another Insidious film, I honestly thought they were but it turned out to be the trailer for The Conjuring 2. The only other thing I know him from is Watchman but I like to think the owl get up separates him in that from confusion.

So what did I think of Friend Request? For me, I think I'd give it a seven out of ten. Let me explain why - so naturally there may be some spoilers from here on in.
