Platypuschow The Asylum is an awful company, truly embarrassing. They essentially ripoff existing blockbuster movies, yet every once in a while do something original......like this.Daryl Hannah may well be the biggest star The Asylum have ever had in one of their movies and she hams it up perfectly in this drama/thriller.The whole cyber bullying theme won't be new to you and has been done a great deal better but this isn't without its merits. A bearable cast makes the mundane script and beyond belief predictable "Twist" watchable.Though this brings nothing new to the table you can do a great deal worse. If however you want something similar but made better then give "Nowhere Safe" a go.

John Pampalone Great movie! I don't understand all the rips on this film. My wife & I decided to watch this movie so we could stand up for what is right in the film industry. What did people expect? The movie hit on an important topic of cyber bullying, as well as smothers. I recommend it to people with common sense & good tastes with real expectations. Rated 7 out of 10. Considering we need a max. of 10 lines, I will point out that the student/teacher relationship was a little absurd, as well as the mother seemed flaky at times when her daughter appeared to be suffering from depression. For a TV movie, it had a decent budget & a good cast. People need to realize that cinema isn't reality & sometimes we need a good dose of a reality check. A mother felt the need to protect her child at all costs, which meant social suicide for her daughter.

Elissidel Nope This movie is so bad that it forced me to write my first review on this site, after years of just browsing. That is how bad this movie is, it forced my lazy nature to actually do something.Everything is bad with this film...every...single...thing. The acting is atrocious, the editing and directing are completely awful, the writing and dialogue is painful and uninspired. Honestly, I do not have one single thing to compliment this movie on. This movie would be considered awful even by "after school special" standards, which is all if could possibly be compared to. Everything involved with this project should be ashamed and embarrassed to have their name attached to it in any way whatsoever.Avoid it at all costs and do not waste about an hour and a half of your precious time.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Social Nightmare" (or "Mother") was actually somewhat of a surprise. When I saw The Asylum in the intro, I was literally rolling my eyes, as The Asylum tend to make really questionable movies that are just as weak on effects as they tend to be on story. However, this is probably the one that flips it all around. Without a doubt, then "Social Nightmare" is the best movie from The Asylum that I have seen to date.The story is about two girls who are about to graduate from high school and apply to go to the same college, when events turn the entire school upside down. Friendships are tested, loyalties fail and switch, and Cat's life quickly turns to ruins.Story-wise, then "Social Nightmare" was interesting and had a great story to tell. Sure, it was predictable, especially with a secondary title as "Mother". That really was the ultimate spoiler. But still, as predictable as it was, then the movie was entertaining, but most importantly it was really well acted by those in the various roles. Especially Kirsten Prout (playing Cat) and Chloe Bridges (playing Emily) were doing outstanding jobs.I must admit that it was the lure of Daryl Hannah that got my attention drawn to this movie. And having seen it, I must admit that this is a rare gem from The Asylum.Every now and again you hear stories in the media about things such as this, that tragically lead to very sad endings. And it does give you something to think about."Social Nightmare" is well worth a watch, especially in this age where our entire lives flourish on the social networks are are within a click's grasp for just everyone to witness.
