Review of Unfriended (2014) by Thegodfatherson — 16 Apr 2015
Most of Unfriended is uninteresting and sappy. But the few ideas it chucks at it do click. The story plays out like MTV's Catfish meets a really bad horror movie. The first half of the movie is not horror, it's young brats' Facebook and Twitters being shown, family photos, scam websites, so basically it's a teaching of the Internet plus a stupid teen love story you know you are gonna hate.
The other 80 minutes is where the sh*t hits the fan, and it is... Pretty fun. Really, the jump scares and high octane thrills are well timed and just there and provide us with a better side of this already bad movie.
It is a pretty good idea though, a psychopathic killer hunts down the people who shot an embarrassing video of her and she committed suicide, turns out is she alive? The thrill is nice but it could have been placed in a better movie than what we have here.
I could have recommended it just for the thrills, but I review on the whole movie, and it isn't good. Unfriended is an awesome idea gone rotten.
