Unfriended Trailers

While video chatting one night, six high school friends receive a Skype message from a classmate who killed herself exactly one year ago. At first they think it's a prank, but when the girl starts revealing the friends' darkest secrets, they realize they are dealing with something out of this world, something that wants them dead.

Reviews
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Java_Joe I hate this movie. I really hate this movie. It's brainless, utterly stupid and because it made such a large profit we're going to be seeing lots of it from here on in. The premise is decent in that you have a group of friends on a Skype call on the anniversary of one of their friend's suicide and strange things start to happen. The friend, who is definitely dead, joins their chat and even starts sending messages to them in Facebook. Like I said it's a decent enough setup. The problem comes with how they decided to put it all together.All of the action comes from one girl's POV on her computer and we see everybody else on facecam. So we're stuck in one location for the entire movie. What's more this was actually shot with these kids in front of GoPro cameras in the same house but in different rooms which is why you have one person literally doing her part of the chat from the laundry room. Yeah. We're expected to think that these people carry their powered on and connected to the internet laptops around with them everywhere just in case they get an invitation to a Skype call. An invitation I might add that three of them never got and just appeared on the chat between a girl and her boyfriend who were engaged in a little cyber foreplay. They all talk and they bicker like children. It's quite annoying actually. But then maybe it was to make them as unlikable as possible. At least that's my guess. The facecams glitch out to a ridiculous degree but I guess that was done to hide some of the cuts. Although from one shot literally to the next people change position and are away from the webcam when they're still somehow typing. How does that work again? It would have been interesting had they used the glitching a little more effectively. Like maybe, just for a moment, one of the character glitches out and their face is all distorted. Or there's a flash from behind them of a shadow or figure or even just a pair of eyes or something to show that this isn't a normal Skype call. Don't call attention to it, just have it there to give us a sense of unease. The way that these kids are then killed is then telegraphed very early on. If you see them with something in their hand, or close by, that will be how they die. So it makes sense that the fat kid has a blender there at his desk so later on when he gets possessed he uses that to blend his hand followed by his neck. Or the girl using the curling iron in the first scene winds up dying when it's thrust down her throat.And in the end the last one to survive is actually the one that is responsible for the death of their friend. What a shocker and follow it up with a jump scare. The end.This is a stupid movie.
embryo923 For anyone who is an internet nerd and loves going on forums and chatting and is in tune with the internet culture, this movie is hysterically accurate and really fun to watch. There is a lot going on in this movie, you can't multitask and follow the story, no, you have to focus and learn the names of the characters and about the drama that is going on between them all. It's very easy to get interested in this movie once it starts rolling, and I really enjoyed it.
kurt_cobain_2794 Unfriended is another dime a dozen found footage horror movie, but this time it takes place from a computer screen while 5 "teens" Skype each other with a ghost killing them one by one. However, it's a boring, run of the mill jump scare fest with nothing else to offer outside of... actually, no, it has nothing to offer, nothing new or interesting. All the characters are unlikable and do nothing except curse out, insult, and otherwise act like horrible people to one another, so you feel nothing when they're all eventually killed off. The premise is interesting on paper but is executed super poorly, either with long plodding silent scenes of watching people read things off their screens or garbled "webcam" footage as people die. The death scenes are also hard to follow, with one apparently dying from a seizure, I had to rewatch the scene numerous times but couldn't never tell what was happening. I can't recommend this film, in fact I suggest if you see it, destroy it, take the disc and crack it in half, you'll have a better time watching the disc break than you would watching the movie it contain.
lorcan-61881 Unfriended is the new horror film(new enough),two years ago,that was a film all captured on the screen of a teenage girl who's best friend committed suicide two years back today and while chatting to her friend on Skype,Laura returns as a vengeful ghost to expose all there secrets. So,this film I enjoyed,not many people probably enjoyed it but it got an alright score on Rotten Tomatoes. This guy,whoever he is,is not really the guy,he slows the movie down and most of the time,the camera just goes static and you can't see what's happening other then people talking like "I got the weed for you,that's cool,get balcony seats,f*cking b*tch,who's he,WHAT THE F*CK BLAIRE!!!??'. The ending to the film,now,that's what really annoyed me,the ending to Unfriended,could be one of the worst endings ever,in the end,Blair lets Laura kill her boyfriend and then Laura threatens to kill her and when she leaves the group after everyone dies,Blaire falls over only for a predictable jump scare;Laura! Jumps out and,boom! That ending was like something from the god damn Paranormal Activity movie,so,basically,Unfriended is a really good film,nothing of my favourites,but a few distractions and glitches in the film,makes it nothing at all special!
