The internet preserves your recollections indefinitely—and also your errors. A collection of acquaintances from an online chat room are targeted by a presence that exploits the profile of their deceased friend. As someone who isn’t familiar with the kinds of social media depicted here, *Unfriended* proved to be a captivating and disturbing experience. When my online interactions have been limited to message boards and discussion groups, where platforms like Twitter, Skype, and Facebook are foreign concepts, it's easy to appreciate an original and inventive approach to horror filmmaking. Let’s face it, the genre is always in need of something new to distinguish itself from a seemingly endless cycle of sequels and reboots. *Unfriended* isn’t frightening in a traditional sense; it won’t necessarily make you jump or seek cover. What's unsettling is how far technology has progressed, how readily people around the globe share personal details online, and then there’s the darker side—those who misuse these platforms for malicious purposes, introducing very real dangers into our lives. I can’t speak to the accuracy of the technical elements portrayed in the film, but *Unfriended* certainly explores a disturbing reality, which deserves recognition. I don't envision watching it again; there’s really no reason to. However, I’m happy that I gave it a try, and I’m content with sticking to simpler forms of communication like texting and email. 7.5/10
