Unfriended

It's a premise that seems ridiculous until you start to realize it might actually be brilliant, or at least charmingly clever.

I'll admit the film held my attention but I left the theater unsatisfied, which I think will be a common reaction among those not within the demographic niche for which the production was mounted.

You feel some mild critique of lives lived through web applications. What you don't feel is sustained visceral fright.

You might find yourself rooting for the murderer.

If you can give yourself over to the idea of Unfriended,you'll find it's surprisingly engrossing and really quite clever.

Perhaps director Gabriadze and writer Nelson Greaves intended to create a Social Media "Scream" and a commentary on cyber-bullying, but "Unfriended" comes across as disdainful of millennials.

There are some noteworthy thrills amongst a plethora of urgent details.

Unfriended is a well-executed, refreshingly innovative little horror movie featuring teenagers behaving the way teenagers actually behave.

...takes seemingly benign, everyday technology and turns it into a vehicle for menace.

[Cursed with] the common horror movie problem of being unintentionally hilarious.

Little more than digital noise.

Unfriended - previously titled Cybernatural and Offline before that - is the latest cyber variation of the tireless found-footage horror subgenre which fails to bring anything new or novel to the table.
