Well it's not an original movie in any Way. But I find it to be a pretty entertaining watch. If you're not too snobby you might like it too!

Fatal Attraction for the internet age
skepticskeptical15 September 2019
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.
Like.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.

Can't even believe how BAD this mess is!
plamen_xp_lv4 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Seriously, did the people who gave it more than 6 stars actually watched another movie, or is it their first one? I am not going to go into great detail, watch it for yourself, but I can only advise you to find a better movie, this is not worth it even for free!
This was a poorly done cyber/stalking thriller/horror. In every aspect. The plot was not very original, although the premise was decent. But everything was badly executed to an extent which ruined the few scattered positives. The screenplay was hilariously bad, written by a 14-year old. The guy playing the cop cannot be a professional actor, he was comical.
The male lead actually tried, but as I said, the words they put in his mouth were so wooden and stereotypical, that I felt completely emotionally detached from him. Ema Horvath actually impressed me for a while, but even her character was butchered by the mediocre directing and screenplay.
At the end, after the "twist", I was bored out of my skull. The actions of the people involved were so devoid of any logic or reality that even a teen horror flick could not copy that. Like not having a police protection even after a murderer is stalking you? Or going to a house you specifically described in a video, including how to find it? This mess actually has some comedy value, that's how abhorrent it is. But seriously, 15-year olds, go watch some more movies, and then rate this one again. 5.2 is far too generous. And this is coming from an avid horror fan who always believes moves deserve higher praise than they get in general, particularly horrors. But this one cannot be salvaged.
Be afraid, of a five foot girl that apparently has the same ability to inflict fear as Michael Myers
gustheaffen13 November 2018
I couldn't stop laughing at the total fear in the thought of men having hand to hand combat with a petite 100 pound girl that looked more like the kid in The Bad Seed than anything very sinister. Particularly since she spent her private time crying and rolling around in agony. This story has been told before with a little spin to update it, Garrett is a YouTube 'star' with a lot of followers. I guess the moral could be beware of social media or being famous. Nice little spin at the end also a rip off of Stephen King's Misery. Nothing new here. Overall pretty much a Lifetime television movie.
Not terrible but close to it.
jjstfuplz14 November 2017
I honestly think this could have been a much better movie. One of the major flaws is the male lead. Also the fact that his ridiculous videos could actually make him famous is just beyond stupid. The only decent thing about this movie was the new actress Ema Horvath. In my opinion i thought she did a very good job and basically carried this film on her shoulders. So for that i give it 3 stars. If it wasn't for the awful male lead and the terrible, flawed plot. This could have been a decent movie.
If you have a chance to watch this movie and its free, sure why not. But i wouldn't even bother going to a redbox to spend a dollar on this garbage.

Better then expected cyber thriller
stephenw-301809 November 2017
Like. Share. Follow was much better then I expected. The dim starts out a bit slow but picks up speed at about the 20 minute mark. Garrett is a YouTube star with his Friday night show which is about his life and antics assisted by a couple of friends.
He is very popular and has many viewers. He has a self imposed rule of not getting emotionally involved with any of his 2,000,000 viewers but one girl seems Insistent on meeting him and will do anything at any cost to do so.
Avoiding spoilers at this point, let's just say it's not an original theme and has been done before in the fashion of "Fatal attraction", the king of all stalker films. With that said, however, this film is better then most and keeps you interested throughout. It has some very creepy scenes and the acting is very good. The elements of the plot are simple enough but done without going over the top and without gratuitous violence.
There is a great twist at the end as well. Enough said.
I recommend this film to any fan of the thriller and stalker sub genre....7/10.

very poor remake of fatal attraction sort of
MLDinTN6 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This movie definitely takes its theme from a fatal attraction type of vibe but it's not very good. You tube star Garrett is stalked by Fan girl. He meets Shell has a one night stand only to find out, she is really fangirl. She breaks into his house, drugs him, keeps sending texts. Then it gets serious when she sets an arrow to fire when Garrett's door opens and kills a cop instead of Garrett. Garrett learns she was in a psyche ward for a hit and run on an ex, may have killed a girl he was talking to, and quite possibly offed a 6 year mail employee for the job so she could meet Garrett.
Garrett goes to a secluded cabin to hide from her but using old videos, she figures out where he is hiding with his friend. She shows up, his friend bails, they have a fight, Garrett gets stabbed but she's the one who dies.
Then the twist, some girl shows up to rescue him. Problem she's also a weirdo stalker fan and has intentions of keeping him to herself. NO hospital.
FINAL VERDICT: A thriller for the electronically obsessed. A very bad imitation of a stalker movie. Not worth checking out.

Decent enough to be entertaining

It's somewhat predictable it's low budget, it's fairly predictable. Typical obsessed fan stuff like Swimfan or any other similar movie. What I did like about this is the acting. Ema Horvath was quite good as She'll seeming like a deeply troubled stalker. Kieynan Lonsdale was pretty good at times too. I'm giving it a 7 based on the decent acting of Horvath and Lonsdale but I have to detract some because the adults are less believable. If you're just looking for some generic entertainment with some better acting amongst the younger starts it's worth a watch. Could have found worse ways to spend a late Halloween night,

A Flamboyant man has a YouTube channel where he has 2 million followers and can talk to them all at once via video chat! (error sound)
One of his fans stalks him by moving closer to him, pretending to meet him anonymously, then revealing her online identity after a night of sex. So he freaks out that she stalked him and he doesn't wanna see her anymore, only shes still stalking him and killing any girl he talks to.
In a way, it's a done to death plot. Its just implementing it into an online... no, actually, it's been done before heaps of times and done much better.
It may play something like "Unfriended", but the big problem is, the online celebrity thing he's supposed to be is just too unrealistic and laughable. I just don't care about his character enough to care what the outcome turns out to be. It's too predictable and boring, and hard to stay focused on having felt I've seen this sort of thing done a million times already and this is not going to be anything worthy of upping the game of. Its just a typical play-it-safe plot with no thought put into making it interesting, or leaving it's mark on these kind of films.

Warning: Spoilers
so be warned, there might be sort of spoilers concerning the characters in the movie. why? because i don't really know how to sum up the things happening, without mentioning key elements of the story-line. so well, Garrett is a young social media star on the rise, with his two coworkers Lyle and Kiki, he produces a successful YouTube show that got a soaring number of subscribers and hardcore fans as well. some of those are more twisted than others, while you come to judge some characters loyalty way before Garrett is faced with the realities. i was positively surprised by the story development, there were some interesting takes and twists on the almost classic "Stalker" theme. If you got movie time at hand and have no other pressing film that you feel you must see, this one here is a fine choice if you like suspense and thrills, with a bit of teen horror and a modern take on it. go watch it and then decide for yourself
This century's reincarnation of "Play Misty for Me". But it's all internetty and stuff.
GiraffeDoor19 May 2019
A very likeable little thriller on obsessive love that has a few unpretentious things to say on the nature of modern day celebritydom, exhibitionism and the conflict on our need to stay anonymous but be seen.
The movie works mainly because we have a likeable main character who feels pulled straight off the net. It's fascinating to take someone who seems at first to be such an embodiment of joy and fun and see the more vulnerable side of their character and to have them deal with a real problem. It makes it 100 times more effective than a lot of TV dramas that might be 10 times more macabre but just have no idea how to make a character just pop off the screen.
As technology turns into the supreme weapon to frame, track and damage someone, a seemingly inescapable nightmare that anyone of us might have been tempted to bait emerges.
It packs a punch.

It is an internet movie, unlike Following or Unfriended, more like Thicker than Blood, but in the quality department it lays right in the middle.
I had some fun with Like Share Follow, and I do believe it tried to make the most of its budget and plot, but as Unfriended 2 showed, you can accomplished a great deal if you put some real effort into it. I will recommend this one because it is a decent production, one that should get some attention but I don't think it will turn any heads.
Nothing truly memorable, few scenes that stood out, good acting, good dialogues, overall a film that managed to stand tall on its own.
Cheers!

Frustrating Letdown
Brakathor29 June 2022
There's an unsurprising growing trend of showcasing our modern reliance on social media and interconnectivity in as cynical a way as possible, so going into this, I did not have high hopes. In a word, I expected to find this movie tedious, pretentious, and cliched. While it doesn't begin that way, by the end of it, you suddenly realize that you've just witnessed so many hackneyed tropes, while the premise itself has been stretched so far to the breaking point, that the film more or less turns into a caricature of itself, though I suppose you can say it happens too late for you to be filled with a sense of tedium.
Honestly, 20 minutes into the film, I thought I was not only watching something outside the box, but something REALLY good. The whole premise appears to unfold in an extremely organic way; the dialogue is strong; the psychotic obsessive personality of Ema Horvath, I thought was really well portrayed. She actually reminds me of someone I knew in real life, in terms of appearance and mannerisms, and they were every bit as much of a psychopath. I would actually be shocked if this person hasn't fallen into a serious criminal situation by now. Suffice it to say, at this point, they completely won me over based on style, and I thought the film was very well cast.
Onto the character of Keiynan Lonsdale. He comes across as a complete A. Hole, and at first this is what REALLY makes the film seem like it's a cut above. There's a grey line created where he is very much responsible, and a participant in everything bad that's happening to him, because HE'S the one who pursues her at the start. This makes Ema Horvath's character seem human, sympathetic, and in some ways justifiable, so naturally I thought "Wow this is amazing: a REALISTIC portrayal of a stalker scenario that doesn't devolve into absurd caricature where the characters are behaving in a way completely beyond reason or logic... which of COURSE is when the writer/director steps in and says "Not so fast..." and kicks you right to the nuts... You think to yourself, ok that was a bit rude, but maybe this thing can still be turned around. "NO IT CAN'T," the writer/director fires back, then he squats over your face and drops a big steaming log right into your mouth.
Out of nowhere you're barraged with virtually every cheesy hackneyed trope you can think of. For one, way too much planning involved, from Ema Horvath's character. She kills a postal worker so that MAYBE she can get hired as the new postal worker, so that MAYBE Keiynan Lonsdale's character will talk to her, so that MAYBE they can go on a date. Wow, nice master plan, stupid. Literally all you have to do is follow him in as a customer and strike up a conversation with him, and your odds of success would be exactly the same... minus the complication of committing a murder and getting away with it. In movies like this, wouldn't it be so great if she kills the postal worker and then she shows up "So, I hear you're hiring," ... "Yeah and we've found someone else. Go away." It's just so dumb.
I did learn something fascinating from this movie though. If a cop is brutally murdered, apparently other cops don't care. "Hey, Bob just got an arrow through his neck... should we interrogate the stalker girl who keeps having missing people turn up around her?" ... "No, whyever would we do that?" This is the type of stuff you have to accept, aside from the basic fact that cell phone technology pretty much eliminates 90% of every horror movie premise these days. This isn't 1980 where you could just terrorize a group of people all night and they would conceivably be too isolated to call for help. Also, how are we still doing the "Oh no, muh car won't start!" thing. That's not a thing. It NEVER happens. Like I said, just about every trope. What a shame. The ending itself though... I won't spoil it other than to say it's like squashing an ant with a nuke: over-the-top cringe like you wouldn't believe.

pieraussie14 July 2019
This movie is just watchable. Two things make it not believable: 1)how someone can get two millions followers with such a silly YT channel 2)how a young can even think to reject such a gorgeous girl just because she is a fan.

Bad introduction led to a bed overall expression.
undeaddt4 December 2018
The first 1 hour of the movie are horrible, the acting is bad, the scenery is bad, it is slow filled with useless sex scenes, dirty language, monotony and that is the downfall of this movie. The last half an hour is good, with very good tension, pace building and a twisted ending which I did not expect. 5/10
Pretty Darn Good
lizaio13 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is social media/stalker/psycho horror movie with solid performances. Keiynan Lonsdale is charming and relatable as Garrett, the rising YouTube sensation. Ema Horvath is captivating as Shell, the fan who loves just a little too much. I kept waiting for her wide-eyed craziness to come off as heavy handed or ridiculous, but she managed to play it pitch perfect.
Some of the dialog was sort of dumb, but overall this was a fun to watch, well-paced movie with good performances and a neat twist at the end. It's not groundbreaking or amazing but it definitely entertains.

Don't let its poor rating here detour you from watching
jeffsmithey15 November 2017
Like.Share.Follow was an all around solid thriller... though the guy's YouTube videos sucked it was the least important part of the plot. I feel like this is rated so poorly, because of the way that it ends; however, I feel like content-wise this movie had me on the edge of my seat through the climax.
I feel like this has a great moral to the story of not knowing who exactly you are sharing with when you share online, especially when most of the people you share with are completely anonymous. Don't let its poor rating on here detour you from the film, give it a chance and see what you think.
It kind of reminds me of Amber Alert how it really seems to have a bad rating due to the fact that mostly they tried to make this feel almost TOO real and it seems to devoid a little bit from the "movie" style feel that most may know and love. Don't get me wrong it is still very movie- esque in filming and plot, but it really does have a very... almost eerily real feel to it.

Non pretentious, entertaining thriller
johannes2000-120 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
There are lots of thrillers about homicidal stalkers, usually after some casual one-night stand situation. This one is more or less comparable, but the slightly original and nowadays twist is that de victim is a famous YouTube star. So there's clearly an extra message: when you invite hundreds of thousands of followers into your private life you have to realize that there are probably some pretty creepy people among them.
Anyway, as a thriller this movie does a fine enough job: the story is solid with some good suspense, and Ema Horvath is totally convincing as the beautiful but increasingly scary stalker, who's violent actions get more and more extreme. Kenyan Lonsdale is fine too (and looks absolutely adorable!), but the writer (Glenn Gers, also the director) made his character almost unrealistically sweet and civilized and correct, a bit out of sync with the image of a big moneymaking influencer. And oh boy, all these illogical things (obviously to enhance the thriller element, but still!): with all his (presumed) money, why did he not install a high tech security system in his house, why not put cameras outside, why not send a private detective after her?!?
The end of the movie was probably supposed to be cynical, the unexpected twist was clever enough, but to leave it at that felt a bit too easy. Come on, why after a fine movie send the viewers to bed so disappointed!? I had so granted Kenyan Lonsdale a happy end!

Was suprised - better than I thought
english_artist2 February 2019
I read a few reviews on here and was in two minds about watching this but had a spare few hours so sat down with my wife and watched it thinking it might not be on long as we would switch if off if it was rubbish...
But Its actually a decent movie with some good tension and its a lot better than I thought it would be. I have seen some movies recently with loads of hype and great reviews that were terrible so it good to see a movie that is getting average reviews and I personally had not heard of being such a surprise.
I think Ema Horvath played a great part as Shell in the movie and the whole movie was certainly entertaining with a good ending and well worth watching. Don't believe reviews (even this one) just watch it yourself and see
You might be surprised....
