A group of online chat room friends find themselves haunted by a mysterious, supernatural force using the account of their dead friend.
This movie represents everything I hate about teenagers. Every single character is more deplorable than the next. They do things in the name of "popularity" and then act innocent and have no remorse until their lives are in danger.
I said it before in my review of "Tusk" and this is an even greater example of my point. Horror films today do not have likable characters. The thing that makes horror movies scary is caring about what happens to the characters. And to care about the characters you have to be able to connect with them. And to be able to connect with them, presuming everyone reading this is a decent human being, the characters have to be decent human beings.
The characters in "Unfriended" have no redeemable qualities whatsoever. They are liars, bullies, cheaters, narcissists, backstabbers and degenerates. Every single thing that they do has no logical sense to it.
Your tears aren't fooling anyone, ya dumb ass!
It baffles me that this has such a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes. At 62%, it is well above what it should be. The only thing noteworthy about this movie is how it is all from the perspective of one computer screen. But that's been done before, and better. If anything, this movie gets points for being funny, because the death scenes were just SO bad!
My Rating: 3/10
