Review of Unfriended (2014) by Areality40 — 05 May 2015

I really can't say I blame the naysayer reviews for this movie. There is a long list of movie elements missing from this, and caused me a great deal of disappointment. Literally, there's 6 or 7 main characters.

Anyone with a PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, Facebook, and understanding of QuickTime could have made this movie. There's zero talent there. The plot of the movie leaves a lot of predictability for the end outcome, right from the first few minutes! Probably worse than anything else is that I was hoping this might actually be a believable thriller about social media and internet technology that might teach a few people a good lesson.

On this front, it failed miserably. This is total fiction. Unless you believe that ghosts are computer-savvy, or that people using social media could be talented enough to form a collective group of 6 individuals networking to coincidentally knock off 6 people that had something to do with the death of a teenager on the date of her anniversary, this is a waste of time.

Sadly, the characters in this movie were compelled not to shut down their browsers and simply meet in person? Holes, holes, holes. Not only was I not scared in the least by this "video", I wasn't entertained, enlightened, fascinated or even marginally impressed.

I couldn't wait for it to be over.
