Unfriended
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.
Critics Sentiment
Laura forces friends to play deadly Never Have I Ever
Blaire and Mitch have intimate Skype conversation
The film jumps from its lowest point during the slow opening chat to its peak during the Never Have I Ever sequence, gaining nearly 2 points as psychological tension replaces mundane setup.
Unfriended starts slowly with realistic but tedious online interactions before building effectively to its strongest sequence during the deadly game reveal. The innovative computer screen format and cyberbullying themes resonated with critics, though reactions to individual death scenes and the finale were more mixed. Overall, reviewers appreciated the film's technical innovation and relevant social commentary while noting inconsistent execution in its horror elements.
