Hey guys! Firestar here! Today I will be doing a review on the very recent movie release Unfriended. This is my first movie review, so if I get stuff wrong, cut me some slack.
So, I heard about the movie while watching a video on YouTube. The trailer was the ad, and it interested me, so I looked it up, and I went to watch it with my mom this past evening.
Here is the teaser poster.
Rating: PG-13
So, the movie follows 5 teens who were just expecting to have a normal conversation with each other over Skype video chat. While they are chatting, they notice an anonymous account listening in on their conversation. They try to get rid of it, but they can't. So they all think it is a glitch and they ignore it. A little bit later, weird things start happening and they get threatening anonymous messages from the unknown account and a Facebook account that was hacked.
I would go more into detail, but I don't want to spoil it. Here is the Wikipedia link to the movie and a more in-depth plot description *spoiler alert* (this is also where I got the teaser poster picture): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfriended
Anyways, I have mixed feelings about the movie. I mean, it is classified as a horror movie, but it was more like a thriller in my opinion. I felt like at some points it was just a "food fight" (not literally). What I mean is that a lot of it was just the characters going back and forth arguing with each other. Also, I felt like they just threw blood and gore into it and called it a horror movie. Some of it was also really predictable. On the contrary, I like the moral of the story, and I like how it covers cyberbullying and the negative effects of it. Overall, I give the movie a 4/5 stars. The fact that it was pretty predictable brought the score down. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. If you can't stomach blood and gore, you can still watch it, as there is not that much of it. Just close your eyes at those parts.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed! I'm sorry if this review isn't too good as this is my first movie review. Any suggestions/feedback would be welcome.
