Like.Share.Follow.: Directed by Glenn Gers. With Keiynan Lonsdale, Ema Horvath, Abraham Benrubi, Michael Boatman. Garrett is a rising YouTube star. Shell is a deeply emotional fan. When they begin a romantic relationship, he’s forced to question whether opening your life to strangers online is an invitation to community and rescue…or to stalking, obsession and madness.

“Obviously this is a genre movie, to be specific: a love-interest obsession thriller. Like.Share.Follow includes the standard features found in such classics as Fatal Attraction, where a spurned former lover undertakes to stalk her object of desire. I am not sure why people hate this movie so much, as there is plenty of suspense and much of the acting is decent. The ending offers a nice and unexpected twist, turning the entire production into a cautionary tale for the internet obsessed. Yes, obsessions can be transferred, and what attracts a person to one thing can just as easily attract another person to the same thing, or the same person to something else.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLike.Share.Follow deserves a 6.5, in my book. No need to watch it a second time, but it is much better than the panners say. Bear in mind, again, that this is indeed a genre obsession thriller, and the requirements of that genre have been satisfied. People who are asking for more are looking for a non-genre creation.”
