The start and middle was really boring and nothing to digest about...it is in the last 20-30 minutes where they were being stalked and eventually killed that made me give it 3 stars....not worth watching, find something else to watch....anything really!

They were fixating with their cell phones but never used them when they should, stupid story, good acting thou

This review contains spoilers.

I saw the low ratings for this movie but decided to watch it all the same. Why? Three reasons: I live in Los Angeles and always love recognizing movie locations, it is a found-footage movie which I generally like, and finally, it was only 90 minutes long.

I think, by going in with low expectations, this movie was not bad at all. There are English three women ("Sophie," "Jessica," and "Lisa") visiting California. Sophie is a travel vlogger. All three look about 25 - 30 but act like teens and the dialog is pretty silly. In my mid-30s, I regularly went on wonderful road trips with two male friends and freely admit that our conversations were just as silly, or worse!

The girls meet two guys near the iconic "Hollywood" sign and bring them back to their rental place to hook up. I would consider this risky, but again, plenty of people do it.

The Lisa character notices that her phone is missing. Where did she leave it? Maybe someone took it? Also, someone is leaving them strange, hand-written notes. Well, the theft suspicion is confirmed when they later start receiving incredibly obscure texts (meaningless combinations of numbers and peculiar riddles) from Lisa's phone.

They attempt to drive up to San Francisco but end up in a non-descript motel in the middle of the desert. It becomes apparent they are being stalked when they find a fresh note at the motel. An obnoxious man they meet there becomes the primary suspect... and they are murdered that same evening by a man wearing a spooky mask (a la Texas Chainsaw Massacre.)

The movie then ends with this message: "#JusticeForSophie ... The FBI believes the killer could be one of Sophie's two million subscribers."

I did not like this ending since there was no reveal. Who was the killer? What was his motive? He wore a mask and we don't know. But there again, even if he had removed the mask, it wouldn't satisfy us since the only men the women met were seemingly harmless (with the exception of the obnoxious guy at the motel.)

While watching this movie, I did notice two clues, if I might call them that. The first was when the women were leaving LAX (the airport.) Some guy walking the other way bumped into Lisa very hard, causing her to react angrily. It had the appearance of him taking something from her. Possibly her phone? It makes sense, and I think this might have been placed in the script as a clue, but was never fleshed out. The other thing was when the TV news was broadcasting a piece about the "Cryptic Killer" who was still at large after murdering many women. The numbers and riddles coming from Lisa's phone were cryptic enough... so the Cryptic Killer was behind this? But here again, it was never fleshed out. We have no idea who the killer was, or what his reasonings were.

I don't think this movie was terrible, but I would not watch it again. Also, I don't think I would recommend it. It's watchable, and it shows a lot of locations in and around Los Angeles.

A few annoying women on vacation meet a couple of annoying men who turn them all obnoxious. The vlogger complains. There might be a pregnancy. A cowboy changes a tire. Tears.

Then, about 1 hour and 13 minutes in, the movie starts.

There's no buildup of tension (unless you consider "scary" notes telling you to drive carefully and text messages of random numbers to be tense), nothing really interesting about the characters (unless being engaged is a trait now?); it's just you, the viewer, stuck on a vacation you don't want to be on with people you don't want to be on vacation with. Though, there _are_ choice lines like: "This literally can't get any worse," right before she finds her dead friend. And, of course, "Don't stop filming. Whatever you do, keep filming. The camera is our lifeline right now!"

And, my god, the epilogue. "#JusticeForSophie ... The FBI believe that the killer could be one of Sophie's two million subscribers."

It's too ridiculous to even laugh at. But just for good measure, they tacked on a post-credits scene which entirely consists of one of the women waking up in an unburied coffin and screaming for a few seconds.

Honestly, I'd roll my eyes, but I'm too busy yawning.

This should have been a short movie and not a whole full-lenght movie. The characters are shallow and annoying and make you wish they would die faster. The ending is the the best part of the movie although it is far too short and over too fast. Overall i wouldn't recommend it.

After 4 minutes, I was cheering for the girls to die. Annoying doesn't begin to describe their incessant yapping about nothing. Too bad it took so long for them to meet their fate, as I was really cheering for the killer from the onset. Complete trash. Avoid!

I see lots of good reviews for #FollowMe that I don't understand at all. This isn't a horror, or a slasher, or a thriller. It's a bad drama full of unlikeable characters. Three shallow, vapid, and gorgeous British women take a trip to California. Things don't go great, they fight amongst themselves, and then they all get murdered. No tension or scares until the last ten minutes, and by that point you're so sick of the characters you kind of root for the anonymous, unexplained killer. 2/10; it gets one point for the attractiveness of the cast.

There is no way that she had 2 million subscribers on YouTube who would watch her at all.

I spent the whole movie just wishing they could die already and I was so bored I actually missed the first death.

Simple plot following the holiday of 3 friends, 2 of which are more than annoying... Throw in a late seriel killer zodiac rip off vibe and you can see where this is going. Got bored half way through and the acting is just as bad, only real motivation to watch to the end was to see if there was a twist to have made it worth it.

Three loud, irritating women take a trip to california. they act inappropriately and rudely, and somehow no one likes them. eventually people start messing with them. theres a very loose wrap-up toward the end, the women realize the psycho killer has been stalking them via social media because of a popular hashtag. oh wait, the hashtag is the title of the movie. wow. this could have, more simply and effectively, been a cautionary tale about carrying a camera around all the time and acting like a vapid moron. its truly terrible, not recommended

The "plot" in this movie made absolutely no sense, and provided zero suspense throughout until superfluous "frights" that happened in the last 10 minutes or so. Watching vapid, non-dimensional characters was excruciating to the point that the viewer was just praying for their death to be relieved of the misery of partaking in their inane, soul-draining dialogue. Utter garbage without a second of interest or intrigue in the characters' stories whatsoever. Please don't bother with ever trying to tell any story pertaining to anything ever again: writer, acting personnel, and anyone involved with this utter crap of a film.

A great film in its category. Easy watch with a relatable cast and perfectly warns what social media can do when you are mindlessly tagging yourselves etc. Main criticism is that it felt too short and wanted more clues/suspects 🤓
