Please don't spend money on this.

Lack of good storyline.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I bought this movie for a "bad horror movie" night. I would say that this wasnt even worth the 4 dollars I ended up spending on it. The characters are very unlikable. My partner and I spent the entire movie rooting for the ghost. It felt the movie tried to make the characters seem like nice, average people with dark secrets. They didnt succeed. The characters were douchebags who became more and more unsympathetic as the movie continued. Worst of all, the scares werent scary or even funny. They were really milquetoast, tbh. Even the final attempt at a "scare" was just boring. I wouldnt even reccommend this to an enemy, its just so bland and boring.Like, the idea was cute and all, but the execution was awful.

What makes Unfriended interesting is not its supernatural elements - which borrow heavily from plenty of other found-footage films and ghost stories that have come before it - but the method used to tell the story. It makes fair commentary about online bullying, the sociopathy and indifference of modern youth, and addiction to the plethora of online apps, social media and technology. While it does rely on jump-scares and gruesome images, it's still crafted well enough to give you the creeps.

I didn't watch this movie with high expectations, and I'm glad I didn't. Nothing about this movie is really worth writing about, but here I am anyways. The acting was average, they were convincing as basic teenagers, but the biggest issue with this movie was the characters. Ignore the terribly cringe-inducing story line, the characters were so unlikable. I've never seen a movie that made me hate the main characters more. Part of what makes a good thriller is actually fearing the fate of the characters you love. The blonde girl, Jess, was so unlikable that part of me actually felt relieved when she died. It was the same with all of the characters, they were portrayed as basic rich white kids with no issues and a cliquey attitude. Every one of these characters made a girl kill herself, so why should I feel bad when they die too? They were all pretty annoying teens and it made the movie unbearable. I will give it some credit for the style of the movie, I like those screen-share movies/episodes of shows. (also what was with the computer taking forever to download a 999KB file, yet hardly lagging at all in a multi person Skype call? and playing songs without buffering? and loading pages instantly? when my computer is downloading stuff at 55kb/s it takes FOREVER to load everything else.)

This movie deserves more than the 5plus rating that it currently have. A high 6 or 7 plus rating will do justice.If you are fond of thriller/crime movies then this is definitely a must watch. Not so much on the story but the acting, the directing and how they deliver the story is totally the upside of this film.Just don't expect it to be on the level of "Don't Breathe" kind of movies but definitely something that would be worth your while and definitely - no dull/wasted moments.
