Clickbait: Unfollowed

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.

The title itself demonstrated a complete misunderstanding of social media influencers. The movie while it has a few good gags and laughs. Just enough to keep you watching hoping it will overcome that awekward teenage stage and develop into a grown movie, it never does. This movie could best be described as video acne. Somebody put money into this effort as the video work, audio work, and other elements were quite well done. If you muted the dialog you could believe you were watching a Hollywood movie. As lame as Hollywood's dialog gets nowadays, this movie manages to make modern Hollywood dialog seem sophisticated. Even National Lampoon seems mature compared to this movie which actually seems aimed at kids under 10 but has some very adult elements too it.

First you start off hating every character in the movie almost instantly. Starting with the Munchausen mama, the gay gay not sure what he does besides be gay dudette, the feminine ideal of a toxic male, the fake guru, and finally the skinny muscle dude who comes the closest to being likable. I'm forgetting one very forgettable character in this forgettable movie. You get the idea, however. Whoever wrote this hates everyone and isn't afraid to stereotype to the point of actually turning cardboard characters into the kind of thing you see a 3rd grade playwright create.

The mystery doesn't last long at all, and when revealed makes fairly little sense. The attack on social media is so stereotyped that it is neither social commentary nor social comedy. The horror aspect is so goofy that it isn't going to scare anybody over 7 years old, but this is a movie kids under 15 should not be watching. It's not even comedic horror. It's just a distraction in an already weak effort. I gave it 4 stars just because there are a couple actual good laughs and amazingly there are much worse movies out there.

If you're a fan of Melanie Scrofano and Kat Barrell then you will get it. No one is trying to make a pretentious film or win major awards. It's two friends, or more like twisted sisters, having fun working together to churn out something people will want to watch more than once. We've got Easter eggs, references, and a kid you will actually like with a manamomster from Hell.

One may ask, "What's so clickbait-y about it?" Gotcha! You took a peek and found out. Whether that was intentional or not I will choose to believe it was. If you've ever watched every reality show on Netflix, this is for you.

I give it 2/10 unfollows.

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.

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.
