  • I read a comments elsewhere that this guy was crazy? I don't think so. I think i'ts crazy to make up fake people and fuck around with others. Some people are successful finding people online, including Facebook, but increasingly, people are bull shitting constantly. So its hard to believe shit. Its easy to bull shit people, if you try hard enough.

  • MY friend falls for this stuff all the time..this guy bull shit her saying he dated emma stone and was rich and followed the miami heat..that sounds so fake right? And says he has no last name.

  • I believe this.

  • I feel sorry for Nev. He desever a good sweet girl!

  • THIS MOVIE WAS SOO GARBAGE. We got up and walked away mad. I actually asked the manager for my money back. Thats how misleading it was.

  • @Jaydoug99 ...you're just mad cause you didn't see a hot babe, grow up a bit

  • @Jaydoug99 I agree, the films was shit and the trailer was nonsense.

  • I don't mean to sound like an idiot but... The movie isn't real, right?

  • @ToDahRANDOMOBILE no it's COMPLETELY real..there was absolutely no fiction about it..look it up.

  • LOVED this movie. I never expected the ending. So enlightening for sure!

  • I think what a lot of people don't seem to get is that in a very unique way, this is a horror film. It's not horror in the whole, hey this terrible evil force is chasing you down sort of thing. Look, if you're the sort of person who needs explosions and heads getting ripped off or ghosts terrorizing people, you're not going to enjoy the film. The horror in it comes from the reality of people's lives. It's about seeing how hugely, terribly misled you can be. It's about life being ugly sometimes.

  • Me am my friends were trying to think what this film was called for months and we found out the other day , and we realy want to watch it but I just want to know what it is actualy like , because if it's like supernatural stuff I will not watch it :L

  • Well after seeing this movie on HBO, I never want to have an online relationship.

  • The best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never directed? BULLSHIT! This trailer is so misleading. I just saw this last night on HBO. It wasn't bad, but it was NOTHING like the trailer would lead you to expect. This isn't a horror film at all, but it does make you think about online relationships with people you've never met.

  • I SAW THE MOVIE TODAY. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING ASS.

    I HAVE SEEN SOME BAD FUCKING MOVIES IN MY TIME BUT THIS FUCKING TAKES THE CAKE.

    DO NOT WATCH. HONESTLY JUST WATCH THE TRAILER AND MAKE A MOVIE IN YOUR HEAD AND I GUARENTEE IT WILL BE BETTER.

  • @kingcainjr Dude, seriously? This isn't even CLOSE to being the worst movie ever. It actually makes you think about every layer involved until the end. But, you're clearly not a big fan of thinking.

  • @MY2SENCE NOT WHEN YOU EXPECT SO MUCH FROM SO LITTLE!!!!!!!!

    And dude you have no idea how many bad movies i have seen and chill. you don't know me. don't say i don't think much, i watched this movie and i didn't like it for so many reasons. want me to list them?

  • I thought it was raw and sincere. Our imaginations are incredible. I highly recommend this movie. I like the explanation of catfish, we all need someone snipping at our fins to keep us on our toes. Complacency kills.

  • the trailer does make you think something sinister or supernatural is going on. It's going to lure the horror fans who will likely feel cheated or aren't the type to appreciate it for what it is.

    If the family is real it is a good little movie. Better than alot of garbage being spewed these days.

  • This "documentary" is so fake its being sued for copyright infringement. Like any sane person believes, professional directors etc, would make a documentary about a Facebook relationship regardless. Like the woman would have let them film her, then lie on camera knowing this shit was going public. They even told the "family's" full name, so some one had to agree to that shit. Oh she felt guilty so she let them do it, yet she lied the whole time? Yea fuckin right.

  • this move sucked ass, I'm all for independent artsy films but this trailer completely lied to me. If they would have advertised it more honestly then it would have been a decent facebook film. But the theme of the movie seems to be when you get old life gets really boring.

  • This trailer did a great job making you think the ending is so much more intense than it really is. To be honest i enjoyed it, but if you're looking for some insanely twisted ending don't waste your time. props to the directors tho, had me fooled.

  • This is the biggest example of false advertising for a movie of all time, "the last 40 minutes will leave me shaking for days"?????? this movie was bull**** and the fact that they say unpredictiable and spellbinding is just ridiculous and pathetic, and i swear to God that if i ever get a chance to meet the guy who put that line about the 40 minutes leaving me shaken for days, im gonna punch him straight in the face and hopefully that will knock the sense into him that he obviously Fing needs

  • Comment removed

  • Can anyone tell me what happens when they pull up to the farm so i know if its worth watching

  • Comment removed

  • @ryanreardon16 she tells him she has horses but when he looks inside the farm there is none. Then they leave and that's the last time they show the farm in the whole movie. I don't think it's worth watching.

  • @ryanreardon16 nothing, its just the wrong house, then they go to another one

  • where can you see this movie at?

  • I did enjoy this film but the trailer is very deceiving.

  • People who say this wasnt scary or something: seriously i have a major horror collection, seen about everything. and this movie right here? this keeps me busy. im glad it didnt turned out to be some lame horror like i've seen thousands.

  • me and my friend had to pause this movie at the point he drove up to the house. seriously.. it aint horror or anything but havent seen this kind of suspense ever in a movie. AMAZING piece of cinema!!!

  • It isn't scary. Its just creepy.

  • Can someone please explain what actually happens in the end cause I hate scary movies and I don't have the balls to watch it!

  • @izzienannonturtlea It's really not scary in the slightest. Just emotional and creepy. Made me feel quite sad at the end if anything.

  • @izzienannonturtlea

    It's not a horror AT ALL. Just watch it.

  • How can I get the inbred dude's speech at the end about the catfish. It was too good to let go.

  • Dude i thought this movie was gnna be terror but Nooo gayy its not

  • lol philip defranco sent me

  • @bookgirlwithglasses Ya. Nice job, directors. You made me feel disappointed and regretful that I watched your movie and I made sure I told everyone I know to skip it. Absolutely genius!

  • do they actually ruin the twist to this movie in 'community'?

  • This film was brilliant! For a couple of minutes I was really upset that the two handicapped twins hadn't beat them to death, or that the little girl hadn't been possessed. A disappointing ending, until you think about it.

  • Where can you see the movie at?

  • THIS FILM SUCKS

  • LMaO this is hilarious I've watched this at least 3 times lol poor man and his friends shame

  • Did anyone else who saw the movie think that nev is just such a nice guy? After all the fucking bullshit this old lady has put him through, and after she STILL continues to lie when they MEET, he still remains calm and kind and actually considers her feelings? What the fuck, he just a brill guy. I could not believe it. Anyone else?

  • @13Bee1 He lied to her by doing the documentery without asking her, so he lied just as much as she lied to him.

  • Comment removed

  • britta ruined this for me

  • i cant really say that i dont like trailer, since it is honestly better to mislead than to spoil the film.

    i was honestly glad for the outcome not to be another wannablairwitch-horror-film

  • this movie is 2 cool. i rly liked it

  • Dude, I am so fucking mad at that fat peice of shit who screwed him over. She's so fucking dumb. Nev deserved better than a fat fucker.

  • To me, it wasn't a good movie. It was boring and predictable.

    Spoiler alert: It was the mother, the whole time.

  • wot it bout

  • that's what webcams are for, duh.

  • how long did they talk for before meeting?

  • @nawal10 9 months O_o

  • Hitchcock?! Seriously?! Your so full of shit, at least Hitchcock captivated his audience instead of boring them to death.

  • @weapondrift But this movie isn't boring.. :p

  • @KrazzyKittyy are you serious?! you really need to get educated in movies

  • @weapondrift I don't really care lol. Personally I didn't find it boring, I don't need something huge and exciting constantly to keep my attention. And uh no I'm fine thanks, got better things to do.

  • @KrazzyKittyy lolol like correct people on youtube...give me a fucking break

  • @weapondrift hehehehehe  :-)

  • @KrazzyKittyy you shouldn't take youtube comments so serious!

  • i already seen this movie, but took the time to look this up just to say-

    He looks like Chad TimTim

  • You guys have to realize, the reason this trailer is so misleading is because NEV was also mislead to believe to believe that he was about to meet the girl of his dreams but instead, he gets an ugly, fat chick. The feeling of disappointment you had after watching this movie to discover it's not a horror film, is the same feeling of disappointment Nev had! get it now? Do you now see how smart the directors are??

  • @smartsy1 hahaha

  • @smartsy1 Amazing.

    I thought it was about a pedophile.

  • @smartsy1 lol maybe you are on to something; the key word here is "disappointment"

  • @smartsy1 yess they are GENIUS!

  • @smartsy1 Thanks for telling me now I wont watch it lol

  • @smartsy1

    That's just a bad excuse to get away with overhyping a movie. The guy in the film wasnt just dissapointed. He was freaked out, grossed out, disturbed by the entire situation. I guess they "forgot" to transfer those emotions onto the viewing audience.

  • @can0mark

    A-Fucking-men.

  • @smartsy1

    They knew no one would give a flying fucking about some boring ass drama documentary, I wanted to go out and see a scary movie not waste my $ on this piece of shit, I've never been so disappointed in a movie... :@

  • @smartsy1 The directors are smart but the trailer is VERY misleading. It makes it look like they go on some bizarre trip. They clearly take advantage of the many docu-style thrillers and horror films out there. I saw the film before I watched this and it clearly misleads you into thinking that something horrific is going to happen, like some Texas Chainsaw shit is about to go down. Great movie though! :)

  • @smartsy1 yea yea....OR....the ending is just not that good but director made it look exciting to his best effort so the trailer is just overdramatic to grab attention not to use the same storyline as teh movie as on the trailer aka ur stupid theory u fuck

  • @KateyInRunescape

    Learn basic grammar before throwing the word "stupid" about?

  • @smartsy1 I watched this and I think it's brilliant. I expected some horror story too, but I have also had these experiences like Nev. Maybe not so elaborate, but very similar. It's so disappointing when you build someone up in your mind only to be so let down. The greater your imagination and expectations, the worse it is.

  • @smartsy1 Oh wow. That is clever/

  • @smartsy1 Damn. That really does make a lot more sense now. It's no wonder why Paramount wanted them to direct PA3.

  • its the mother

  • This was a FANTASTIC documentary.

  • So where the fuck is the movie this trailer is showing off? I watched the movie before seeing any trailers and the movie is just 90 minutes of boredom and SUCK. The final 40 mins a roller coaster of emotion? Yeah because you feel you've been scammed into watching this fake, BORING, film. The scene in the dark walking up to the barn seems like a hillbilly should pop out and stab somebody but nope, just "huh, no horses." and they leave. Fuck the makers of this film and anyone involved with produc

  • @insinuwait u absolutely have no idea what a good film is about. stupid shallow gore-hound

  • This documentary gave me the heebee geebees

  • Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

    Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

    WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot.

    Thumbs up to keep at top

  • ive seen some shitty movies in my day buh ga damn this one was just awful

  • i watched the movie and i accidentally skipped to the end.. NOW I KNOW HOW SHE LOOKS. Damn.

  • what does this have to do with catfish

  • @TheLovetocatchbass Towards the end, someone talks about catching catfish or something. I forget the exact conversation.

  • @TheLovetocatchbass In the end, Angela's husband talks about how cod used to kept with catfish in order to make it better. It's about how, in life, some people are the cod, and other are the catfish. Catfish have to be there just to make others' live's better. :)

  • @WhiteRainbowful sounds like a shitty movie. goodfellas is a kickass movie

  • @TheLovetocatchbass

    Its a documentary about lonely people in america and the things they do to make themselves feel better, its really fascinating.

  • @WhiteRainbowful Im totally with you buddy, cuz when I finally saw it I was really shocked and apalled and everything, but when the husband talked about how 'angelas a catfish. we need people like angela. we need catfish in our lives" and it just moved me and the how they got the name of the movie totally clicked. very ineresting film indeed

  • this movie pissed me off this is the most misleading trailer ever fuck youuuuuuuuuu

  • watched it today in english:') was pretty good tbf!!

  • I watched this for the first time today in my film studies class and we all loved it. I feel it makes you more aware of your online security and what kind of people are out there.

    But after reading some of the comments below, I think people are watching for something that it isn't. This is a true story and the events of the narrative unfold at the same time for them as they do for us.

    So watch the film in the right context and appreciate it as something different.

  • angela trolled him good!!

  • @mauram15 i know right! I had to keep rewinding to understand just what the hell was going on! :P

  • this film doesnt look too good to be honest, plus i was told that this was a "Fucked up" film but now remember seeing this advertised on channel 4 not too long ago so im guessing it aint all that. If anyone is interested in a fucked up film on the same kinda basis check out "Megan Is Missing". The last 20 minutes of that film are disturbing!

  • Like a lot of people, I thought this was gonna be a thriller, but it wasn't. That doesn't mean is wasn't interesting though.

  • great movie. and yes it IS a true story.

  • i hate this movie, worst movie in history, these guys are not to be call film makers, there just abunch of hungry money attention whores, ashame on them, they suck

  • @MrKingtyrant05 Says the man who films his chicken and cat, then posts it on Youtube.

  • apparently this isn't a true story. Waste of time if it isn't

  • I thought this was a legit, real life horror story and I was so stoked to see it. Me and two of my friends drove an hour from where we lived just to watch it because it was only in select theaters. I was literally shaking during the scene where they drove up to the farm, and then when nothing remotely scary happened, I was so pissed. Due to the false advertising, I refused to even like the film for weeks until I realized it was actually a very important film for our generation.

  • I thought it was gonna turn into Dateline NBC or something

  • "Don't tell everyone what it is." because if everyone knew, NO ONE will watch it. It sucks, I feel cheated. This is a DRAMA, a very bland drama.

  • good flick. Yes the trailer made me think it was a horror movie which in some ways it is its even more scary. I kinda wished one of the sons would of started smashing people with pots and pans.

  • had seen this story on ABC and looked all over the place and found out this.Can't watch online (sucks sites) but just put the netflix queue!!!cant wait.Incredible story.Angella is very interested.Nev,you are totally HOT

  • This movie sucks major balls...

    It has one of THE biggest plot holes in recent filmography. Skype...

  • I know a lot of people expected a real horror movie ending... but this is supposed to be a documentary. How likely was it that this Megan girl would turn out to be some kinda Leatherface?

    I think the story was scary enough.

  • Vince is the fucking man. He was the comic relief of this film.

  • So does the trailer spoil the entire movie or can I still watch this?

  • @Dontmakemecomeover5 The trailer is so incredibly misleading. Definitely watch it.

  • this was so fucked up i think i pooped my pants

  • No, it wasn't scary but it was a good movie.

  • Okay yeah, the trailer is misleading and all but this movie was fucking awesome.

  • If I saw this trailer before I saw the movie, I never would have watched it. I'm glad I didn't. 

  • muy buena!!! , tienes que verla!!,..le doy 5 estrellas!!!

  • One great movie!! Really entertaining and eye-opening and really starts a discussion. Just watch it seriously!!

  • watch the film... so sad...... If I were him I probably wouldn't have handled the situation as eloquently as him, but seeing her Life... how can you be angry at her...

  • i just got done watching this, and it BLEW my mind. Anyone who lies that much has just got problems. Very chilling, creepy story that is def worth seeing.

  • I wanted to see this film so bad before everyone told me that it's not scary or suspensful. lol

  • This guy is a retard and totally a Liar. this was a scam from the beginning.. anyone who is as dumb as this guy is just DUMB.

  • Same.

  • @jmcyay2k6 Lol, me too!!

  • Just heard about this on 20/20 tonight. Not sure if it's a rerun.

  • @jmcvay2k6 Same here.

  • Do not wiki this movie!! It spoils the whole thing!

  • I just finished watching it. Personally, I liked it. Not what the trailer makes it out to be, but I wasn't mad at what it actually is. It's a pretty bizarre conclusion. Sort of sad, really. Hard to explain, but I would describe it as a psychological drama, if that makes any sense.

  • this is probably the scarriest film i have ever seen

  • it a documentary. I saw it a couple months ago on t.v

  • awesome movie ! ! ! ! ! !

  • What happens in the end? ............

  • This movie was so great I keep watching it I give it 5stars I watch this movie one nite late about 12:00 someing by mi self and it was amazing it made mi nite it's the best movie I've seen in a long time

  • I was on holiday when i watched this documentary and the bit where he reads out the convo him and magen has ....me and family just start laughing ...so funny !

  • the unpredictable ending is how you just wasted 1.5 hours of your life watching this movie

  • Just saw this movie, it sucks big time!!

  • If any of it is actually true (& I'm not convinced), I'd say he stayed nice to her because he had decided early on that he was going to exploit the footage as a doco and would need her permission to do it. There was something about her that seemed unsettling real, that she was mentally not quite right - a compulsive liar; completely manipulative but with an innocent side - the part of her that believed in her own fantasy; the part that fell in love with the idea that she could make it all real.

  • @kaliazzura Oh, at 1:04 it says NOT Based on a true story. Why were so many people expecting it to be based on truth? I didn't think it was a true story but it wouldn't surprise me if it was based on some true events. Weirder things have happened.

  • What is the point of making this look like the next Blair Witch Project?

  • Well seeing as how this movie was complete bullshit, anyone have any suspenseful movies that were made recently? Apparently I've missed a lot because every singly movie except for Let Me In and Human Centipede on the related I've never heard of so I must be missing like dozens of movies.

  • @RyanKaufman this was a good movie, and the human centipede is a terrible movie! The trailer portrayed this movie in the wrong light, its a slightly disturbing yet sad documentary, so if you were expecting a horror film, then watch an actual horror film, and the human centipede does not count. its stupid not scary

  • @Arbitr0n I saw the movie first, then the trailer. The movie was bland and not really entertaining. "Oh no, she isn't perfect woman, let's cry about it because clearly she's the only girl that'll ever like me." At least Centipede tried being original, suspenseful, and having that thing called entertainment. People say it's stupid because it's not exactly logical, so are a lot of movies. I was expecting something entertaining, not a horror film from this movie.

  • i was expecting like, a creepy murderer to kill him but nooooo.

  • thumbs up if you thought the end was gonna be scary and/or have a pop out. The movie has none.

  • @billiejack123

    Well considering it's an actual (or supposedly anyways) documentary, I don't see why the hell you'd be expecting some purposely falsified shit like Last Exorcism or Paranormal Activity.

  • @billiejack123 I was to scared to watch. Did anything pop up?!

  • @mskidthegoat no don't worry

  • @billiejack123 That's the point, it was real so there was nothing particularly freaky, just the truth. Also, they're just trying to give away as little as possible.

  • @LunaMo0n Yeah.I know they were trying to give away as little as possible, but it's fake not real

  • @billiejack123 thanks for ruining it

  • @downeyfan20 Umm, Where excatly do you see the genre classified in horror? And this movie came out a loong time ago, look at the date of the trailer, August 5 2010. Also, I didn't tell you the ending did I? No. So how excatly did I ruin it?

  • @billiejack123 never said it was a horror genre, a pop out has nothing to do with a horror genre; you rather tell the audience who watch this an intricate part of the film, because I'm sure there'd be parts where I'd be waiting for something to happen and I now know there are none, so once again "thanks for ruining it"

  • I can't believe that Angela really sent him a $500.00 check. Also, his reactions and his brother's and friend's reactions to the truth seem off base. And I don't believe for a minute that Nev was feeling "lonely" after they came back from Michigan. This guy is 24 years old living in NYC and is tall, dark and handsome and he sports a tramp stamp. I'm sure he's not "lonely" lol! I do believe he may have been hard up for money, considering he doesn't seem to do anything, including not cooking.

  • why is the movie called catfish?

  • Just finished watching this movie. Pretty self-indulgant for the first half, and then the trailer boasts some massive ending: we were SO disappointed. Really pointless and boring.

  • thanks to a friend's warning not to watch the trailer and read reviews prior to watching the docu. obviously, this movie is not for everyone. it basically says, people can be so complicated, and you might think them, weird, sick, psycho's, but at the end of the day, they're human beings too. I think she is just one person trying to deal with her life, with her reality, and aren't we all trying to do the same thing? BUT. it did remind me too NOT to do SNS anymore in 5-10yrs time lol

  • Okay, so here I am setting feminism back fifty years, but it just got to me how the guy was so nice to this woman after she blatantly lied to him. BUT, if a guy had lied so much about himself on facebook to 'befriend' a woman, then he would have had the police knocking on his door by the end of the documentary.

  • I've got to admit, it's a pretty peculier film. I felt abit odd after watching it.
