Antisocial (2013): Hilarious, but it isn't Comedy


This movie is so hilarious. I actually laugh several times while I’m watching it. But the problem is it is not really made to be a comedy. It supposed to be under the Horror, Sci-Fi and Thriller genre. For that, it an epic fail for me.


The concept is crazy, but not crazy good. It is about the apocalypse where people are transformed to zombies by the virus transmitted via the social media “The Social Redroom.” How pathetic. This is not really effective. The use of social media in this movie fails so bad that it wasn’t worth the try.


I don’t know what gone in the heads of the writers of this movie. Are they desperate enough to discourage people from using social media? Scare them off to make sure that people will get paranoid about their Facebook or Twitter account? That might be right. They use something that everyone uses daily, turn it to something terrifying for the hope that people will talk about it, so the movie will be viral. That sounds a good idea, but that is not just effective at all.


People get paranoid with the movie The Truman show. Everyone thinks that they might be in a reality show and there are cameras everywhere. That movie is really effective. But Antisocial, a big NO NO! I’m glad it is antisocial because I will not really talk to it if we’re in a party.
