"Unfriended", like "Paranormal Activity", explores and discovers a whole different method of bringing refreshing scares to the audience, which, despite the shallow plot, is pretty enjoyable to watch.

For those of you that haven't heard of this movie there's a very good reason for that. In a way it's refreshing to see an original movie but in saying that, there are some ideas that are just too ridiculous/stupid etc. to even be considered.For those of you that haven't heard of this movie there's a very good reason for that.

UnfriendedIsBadFeb 9, 2016

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, Unfriended is one of the worst films I have ever experienced. It's worse than the Paranormal Activity Franchise. The actors in unfriended are terrible, it feels as if they are just reading their words off a script that is in front of them. People are saying that the video call format for the film is creative. No. It isn't creative, it is because the film is low budget. Also, half the film is a mouse moving around the screen and clicking on random crap. If I wanted to spend half an hour watching a mouse move around a screen I would give my grandma a computer and watch her try to work it for half the film. The story plot is OK until you realise that the thing killing all the friends is actually the ghost of Laura. She committed suicide because of a video of her passed out on the floor with poo on her leg. Another thing I want to complain about is the unoriginality of the film. 'Lets play a game', I wonder what film we have heard that quote in... People that are saying that it's tense and scary properly get scared of their own shadow. Overall, the film is a waste of time and I don't recommend it to anyone under the age of 10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ---MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT!!!----
So I absolutely hated the movie....
It was so damn cheesy.
They stole the "You shouldn't of done that" Line from Ben Drowned (A very well written and renowned creepypasta) And the ending was so predictable; Everyone dies. The movie was glitchy and sometimes I felt like it froze. I felt like getting mad because I felt like it was MY computer freezing, and not Blair's. (The main characters name is Blair)
Also, the deaths were f***ing stupid. Jess gets a hair curler shoved down her throat, The fat dude gets his face shoved in a blender, Adam shoots himself in the face, Blair gets killed by demon (Laura Burns, the girl who killed herself because of a embarrassing video) Mitch stabs himself in the face with a giant knife (WHY THE F*** DOES HE HAVE A GIANT KNIFE BY HIS BED IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!??!) And Val dies of major seizure. At one point, the characters get notes (Blair gets one that says "If you reveal this note, Adam will die" And Adam gets a note saying "If you reveal this note, Blair will die") And then Blair shows it and Adam dies. Wow. Great job, b*tch. You just killed your BEST F***ING FRIEND. God, these characters are IDIOTS.
I really hated it. Very much so. None of it made sense AT ALL! HOW THE HELL DOES A DEMON GHOST THING OPERATE A COMPUTER?! WHY DIDNT THEY JUST CLOSE SKYPE?! THE DEMONS TORMENTING THEM THROUGH SKYPE, SO ITS ONLY LOGICAL TO CLOSE SKYPE, FACEBOOK, ETC. WHY NOT JUST TERMINATE YOUR SKYPE AND FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS SO DEMON CANT TORMENT YOU ANYMORE???? OH, BECAUSE IN THEIR WORLD THAT DOESNT WORK BECAUSE THEIR F***ING STUPID!!!!… Expand

The movie was literally 45 minutes of talking and then 10 seconds of a death scene, and the dialogue was not interesting. Any buffoon with a computer could have made this movie for free, and likely even better than what it was. I had such high hopes for this movie, as it seemed like it could be cinematically intriguing, but it wore off, and the rest was just god awful. I would have demanded a refund had I left 15 minutes earlier, and I should have. Good luck if you go to see this because it is the worst movie that I have ever seen.

All you need is 5 other friends, and 5 laptops. Have you and 4 of your friends Skype each other while the 6th friend goes around and screws with everybody's computers, killing the other players one at a time with items you can find around the house! If you're the last one to die, then you've successfully watched the entire movie. Now all you need is 4 new friends and you can watch it again! It would be more exciting and scary to do that then sit and stare at a tv screen of a computer screen.… Expand

There is a long list of movie elements missing from this, and caused me a great deal of disappointment. Literally, there's 6 or 7 main characters. Anyone with a PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, Facebook, and understanding of QuickTime could have made this movie. There's zero talent there. The plot of the movie leaves a lot of predictability for the end outcome, right from the first few minutes! Probably worse than anything else is that I was hoping this might actually be a believable thriller about social media and internet technology that might teach a few people a good lesson. On this front, it failed miserably. This is total fiction. Unless you believe that ghosts are computer-savvy, or that people using social media could be talented enough to form a collective group of 6 individuals networking to coincidentally knock off 6 people that had something to do with the death of a teenager on the date of her anniversary, this is a waste of time. Sadly, the characters in this movie were compelled not to shut down their browsers and simply meet in person? Holes, holes, holes. Not only was I not scared in the least by this "video", I wasn't entertained, enlightened, fascinated or even marginally impressed. I couldn't wait for it to be over.… Expand

What makes this concept so unique is the point of view: one girl's computer screen. All the action takes place via Skype, YouTube, Facebook, Google, other popular internet-based apps, even Spotify for the soundtrack. That's interesting, but then you have to put up with the teens who constantly over-dramatize, freak out and scream a lot. The murder moments are just that, quick brutal forced suicides…even too short for today's abbreviated attention spans. It's pretty much a clever one-note notion without any surprises or suspense.… Expand

It was fun for a bit watching the teen drama unfold as they dish out each others dirty laundry but the cattiness gets annoying quick enough. IMO it's more for reality TV Junkies that like their cattiness and verbal fights where everyone is calling everyone %$#@ or %#$@^and using the the f word… Expand

The characters are intriguing and the suspense builds from beginning to end. This movie has its flaws, therefore it's not a 9 or a 10 but for what it is, it does well. It's obviously an anti-bulling message. The whole movie is basically sharing the screen with the protagonist. You see her messages, ims, skypes, etc. That was a very neat concept and I praise that aspect infinitely. However, the cliches are also very obvious and the killer talks in the way that a mother would text, which kinda took away from the zing. However, the story was neat and the acting was awesome! There is also a lot of comedy thrown into the mix. It's a little bit of everything. You'll laugh your butt off and you'll also feel the dread building. Personally I'll say this is a very innovative horror movie and could've totally been a 10 but fell into too many cliches. See it if you're interested; I'm sure you'll enjoy. But it kinda sucks to know how great of a movie this could've been had it not done some of the things it did. The ending is absolutely incredible; it is one of the greatest endings to a horror movie I've seen in a while.… Expand

It's been a great season for horror fans with It Follows and now Unfriended in the lineup. (Though I'm not looking forward to much of the rest of the samey, occulty crap the industry has in the pipeline. Vatican Papers? Ugh.) It fallows is more classic, retro horror, but Unfriended is horror for the new tech-savvy generation. It's a bit of a fable, really. I love the use of technology and the rules that define the action. In the same way that Blair Witch introduced the found footage element to horror, Unfriended does the Skype/YouTube thing perfectly. Shelley Henning as Blair holds down the sympathetic lead role extremely effectively. She's always been an underrated actress who has played the supporting role in such teen fare as Teen Wolf, Secret Circle, and Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, and I'm hoping that her exposure in this movie puts her into that category of actor who is considered for leads. Speaking of acting, all of the young actors in Unfriended bring a level of authenticity to the proceedings - they simply feel real. The film's only drawback - and this is something that bugs me about many horror flicks such as the Paranormals - is the excessive reliance on demons or spirits of the dead. It's almost a cop out - how does a spirit use Skype? Oh well, don't worry about it, it's a leap! I suppose I'm yearning for a bit more tangible reality in my horror such as the raw, depraved humanity of Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher. But that's just nitpicking, I suppose. If your'e looking for intensity and a horror flick with a moral message to it ("don't bully!"), this one will work for you.… Expand

The story plays out like MTV's Catfish meets a really bad horror movie. The first half of the movie is not horror, it's young brats' Facebook and Twitters being shown, family photos, scam websites, so basically it's a teaching of the Internet plus a stupid teen love story you know you are gonna hate. The other 80 minutes is where the sh*t hits the fan, and it is... Pretty fun. Really, the jump scares and high octane thrills are well timed and just there and provide us with a better side of this already bad movie. It is a pretty good idea though, a psychopathic killer hunts down the people who shot an embarrassing video of her and she committed suicide, turns out is she alive? The thrill is nice but it could have been placed in a better movie than what we have here. I could have recommended it just for the thrills, but I review on the whole movie, and it isn't good. Unfriended is an awesome idea gone rotten.… Expand

This film has been billed as the nextThis movie sucked and I hated it!! The characters were terrible. The plot is contrived and boring. So poorly shot, so poorly directed and so poorly written and it didn’t have to be any of those. This film has been billed as the next ‘Blair Witch’ or ‘Paranormal Activity’ but those films didn’t aim to be phenomenon’s they were more accidental and based on word of mouth. This film is clearly trying too hard and I think it will be forgotten when the new ‘Paranormal Activity’ movie comes out later this year.

It’s another example of why found footage really doesn’t work as a sub-genre of horror and I would really like it to go away for a while and come back with some better ideas. The film leaves no room open for a sequel so hopefully that means we won’t be seeing another one this time next year! One of the few positives points I can say about this film is that is didn’t go with it’s dumber original title of ‘Cyber Natural’, Man that sounds stupid!!

There wasn’t a moment I was enjoying this film. I was bored from start to finish and judging by the people who were in the cinema with me, I don’t think I was alone in that. The only moment I enjoyed was when they played ‘How you Lie, Lie, Lie’ by Connie Conway after one of the characters secrets is revealed on the internet by the thing that is going after them. I was in hysterics! Much to the annoyance of the people around me! Seriously, skip this one, and if you must see it, see it as a rental and get as many of your friends around so they don’t spend money on this rubbish film either.… Expand

And while I wouldn't call it scary by any means, it definitely was unique just like I'd hoped. I really enjoyed some of the creative things they came up with in the film during the Skype chats. Too bad the whole point of the film was for it to be scary though, which, like I said, it wasn't really. But overall, it was just a dumb but somewhat fun film to kill an hour and a half, and also the film's unique concept and some of the clever things and ideas that were in it saved it from being as disappointing as the last horror film I saw (the highly overrated It Follows.)

It's just a bunch of stupid white teenage's that are to stupid to leave they Skype chat when some one is trying to hack them, you know turn off your computer or quickly report them, that's what most people do.

The character's in the movie are all the cliche stereotypes that it's really hard to care for them when I couldn't care less if they made it out life or not. Oh and another thing they deaths in the movie are too funny to put into words, I mean how can anyone find a fat kid getting attack by some unknown spirit, puts he's own he's own hand in a blender while he makes a funny noise and then he puts he's own chin in as well. Oh my freaking god I laughed my ass off when that scene happened and it's in the trailer for the movie. I know a lot of you think I'm sick for laughing at stuff like that and normally I'm the kind of guy who doesn't laugh at those stuff, but you got to see the movie yourself to understand what I'm saying and see what I mean.

The acting wasn't that great, the story I got to admit is very interesting and kind of creepy when you think about it but even that get's overshadowed by it's hilarious sick sense of humor...which I think it's just me.

I know people want a full detail review that I always do but not for this one as there's nothing there to think deep about and really go into detail, and yes some people may go into deep detail and might find something worth talking about, I did that but couldn't find anything. Maybe these a better movie hidden is this sh*t movie. Agree or disagree this is my open honest review and what I personal think of the film and it's modern day horror ark. I didn't find it scary, but you might, who knows.… Expand

The film relies on so much effective tension and well-timed jump scares that the entire movie is intense and often disturbing throughout its 82 minute running time. Buffering and slow download speeds have never been more terrifying. Unfriended is so realistic that you feel like you're in the conversation the entire movie. Whenever the characters are yelling and arguing with each other, you feel uncomfortable as if you're caught in the middle of it, and a sadistic game of Never Have I Ever will make you never want to play the party game again. The actors talk to each other exactly how teenagers would in real life, and the fears of your biggest secrets being irreversibly exposed online are all too real in this movie. There were a lot of scenes in this where I was deeply uncomfortable because of those real-world fears. You might miss some of the more disturbing aspects of the film if you're not from this technology-obsessed generation, but Unfriended is an extremely scary and disturbing film that you won't want to press ctrl-alt-del on.… Expand

Clever ideas and new twists make for a surprisingly original mainstream horror movie. The all too familiar jump scares and cheap theatrics the usual generic, teenage date night, cash-grab horror flicks use aren't found here. What we get hereClever ideas and new twists make for a surprisingly original mainstream horror movie. The all too familiar jump scares and cheap theatrics the usual generic, teenage date night, cash-grab horror flicks use aren't found here. What we get here is a creative revenge story with some cool ideas that manages to be enjoyable even if it doesn't quite nail the horror aspect.

Everything takes place on a computer screen. Skype, Facebook, Google, messaging, you'll watch this group of teens use it all to interact with one another and the vengeful spirit while they play "Never Have I Ever." This movie is really an anti-bullying message meant for this technology obsessed generation.

It's remarkably entertaining to watch these teens turn on each other as their darkest secrets are being revealed. They are a remarkably convincing group of youngish actors who react just like they should when betrayals among each other are revealed, as well as reveals in the larger plot of what roles they all played in the bullying (both cyber and other) of their now deceased tormentor. Even more impressive is how everything touches on the lifestyle of teens nowadays.

Sex, drinking, the fact that they all talk crap about each other even though their "friends," all these things that modern teens wouldn't want revealed are portrayed here and brought to life. This is going to be a gut punch of a horror movie to the right crowd. They'll react just as horrified as the characters onscreen do. Older audiences though just might not get it.

To be honest, it's not a scary movie. Things are dark and some weird stuff is happening, but the real horror comes from the message. Not the crap the ghost is doing. If you don't know much about how younger people are spending their lives, this won't hit you in the same way. Those of us who are apart of the new technological age can eat up all it's little insights into our worlds. I particularly enjoyed the sadistic use of memes.

Even as someone apart of this new always online generation, the movie still didn't scare me. It even amused me at some points. The at times unintentionally goofy ways it tries to build tension by not having someone message another character back immediately and the ominous Facebook is supposed to be creepy. It's not. There are some cool things going on here, but some awkward execution leads to more chuckles than screams.

It's a movie that does a good job at delivering it's ideas and message, but is less effective with the actual horror part. While it will only really affect a certain audience, those looking for a truly unique horror film should still be able to appreciate the movie. With some good messages and an all around creative scenario it's still enjoyable even if it isn't scary.

I give "Unfriended" a 7.5/10.… Expand

Better in theory than execution. It's pretty creepy for a while, but becomes ridiculous and somewhat grating. The actors do what they can in the scenes of high intensity, though they're best early on playing regular teenagers wondering whoBetter in theory than execution.

Essentially "The Blair Witch Project" redone in 2015 with elements of cyber bulling, teen drama and revenge. Shelley Hennig is the clear acting standout here in this simple but effective horror film.

Cool movie with great premise. At 1. hr. 23 min., the movie is still a bit too long. It isn't as scary as people say it is and there weren't any real jump scares. Some character developments were really weak, but overall it was watchable.

Another criminally underrated horror movie. I don't understand why more people liked Krampus than Unfriended. Unfriended isn't scary, but it's still captivating, and it's a good morality lesson for older teenagers.

Unfriended explores the average lives of teenagers in the most boring way possible that this horror film could not even be called horrifying when it gets boring. The most ironic thing I have ever seen from this movie is that even YouTube isUnfriended explores the average lives of teenagers in the most boring way possible that this horror film could not even be called horrifying when it gets boring. The most ironic thing I have ever seen from this movie is that even YouTube is involved in majority of the movie and yet this still feels like a low-budget YouTube video. Never have I seen a horror movie so boring I wanted to stop the movie before it could even end. If I was in this movie, this movie would have been over in a second because I am at least not as idiotic as our main characters for the plot's sake.… Expand

I think desktop films are a very interesting storytelling technique for the 21st Century however this was not a good one. The first act sets up an interesting premise that quickly dissolves into an uninteresting horror movie. What a waste.I think desktop films are a very interesting storytelling technique for the 21st Century however this was not a good one. The first act sets up an interesting premise that quickly dissolves into an uninteresting horror movie. What a waste. The characters are all annoying and the only real good part of the movie is hoping they all die painful deaths. There is way too much showing found on in the desktop. Most people use at least a few keyboard shortcuts from time to time which would also help the place of the film. We know you are copy and pasting something we don't need to see you click the buttons that say that.… Expand

F***ing really ? You gotta be kidding me.
Even after watching the damn trailer my eyes and head hurt.
A horror movie can`t be something that is happening in front of a f***ing computer on Skype ! Just pull the plug and load the credits! ThisF***ing really ? You gotta be kidding me.

It's the kind of movie that's so bad it's good in my opinion. I enjoyed watching this movie, it's nothing great but i like the way the movie is made with Skype.
