Review of Unfriended: Dark Web (2018) by Rebecca31 — 16 Aug 2018

Remember Unfriended? No? Oh sure you do, it came out in 2014 about a group of friends being haunted by their dead friend's Facebook account. I mean how could you forget something like that. Now here's a sequel anyway because believe it or not Unfriended, that horror movie no one saw or even remembers made a huge profit so we've been given the gift of a sequel. Horay. .

Matias buys a secondhand laptop online and starts game night with his friends via Skype but he quickly realises that something is not quite right with his new laptop and scary ghostly computer glitchy things start to happen. I never did trust apple. Now if like me you're unfortunate enough to have seen the first Unfriended then you'll know that the entire film takes place on computer screens. An idea that didn't work the first time and it sure doesn't work now. Maybe it's possible to create an interesting movie this way and get the scare factor but as of yet I haven't seen it. You don't exactly go into a film like this expecting much more than a couple of jump scares and a bit of entertainment but it couldn't even do that. Although Unfriended 2 is based a little more in reality that its predecessor it's still absolutely awful from start to finish. You'll be happy to know that Unfriended: Dark Web has also made a profit so we can expect this horror movie franchise to continue into never-ending sequel territory because something's gotta pay the bills and why shouldn't it be a horror movie theme based on technology. If we keep seeing them then they'll keep making them so there's only one thing to make it stop and I promise I'm done now. I never want to see or hear of another Unfriended movie again. You don't need me to tell you to avoid this because half of you probably haven't heard of Unfriended: Dark Web and it won't be in cinemas much longer but I'll take the time to warn you anyway. I took one for the team and saw this rubbish so you don't have to. Not recommended. Avoid.
