Well, for all it's shortcomings Unfriended was certainly something different.



Playing out entirely through a laptop screen, Unfriended somehow managed to engage, frustrate, fascinate and infuriate at the same time. The fact it played out on a computer just like mine or yours with Gmail, Google and so on made it feel very real and yet the ludicrousness of it all also made it feel really far fetched, then there's the whole voyeuristic aspect of basically spying on someone's web cam chats, emails and texts. Think I Know What You Did Last Summer played out via your laptop and you have Unfriended.



As an experiment this was a success, as a horror film it was underwhelming, so much so as i had to watch a John Carpenter film afterwards for a horror fix.



I certainly want to see the sequel at some stage, although not just yet.
I watched this a couple of weeks ago and I just thought every character deserves what they got
