Unfriended Movie Review (Horror Review)

Overview

Mike kicks off feeling “hung over” but excited, admitting he went into Unfriended “blind”—a theatrical horror film where the entire story unfolds on a girl’s computer.

He notes that the premise sounds ridiculous (being haunted through your computer and social media), but credits the filmmakers for making it feel realistic. That realism extends to the on-screen buttons, the Skype call layout, Facebook-style messaging, and even Spotify.

What Works

• The film’s “computer-screen-only” format is praised for realism and engagement.
• Mike says the movie initially pulls him in before the horror ramps up.
• He appreciates how convincingly the digital interface is recreated.

What Doesn’t

As the killings start, Mike’s biggest complaint kicks in: the deaths are shockingly stupid and poorly designed, with no “good” kills.

He compares the murder methods to absurd, illogical self-harm ideas—describing nonsensical ways of dying with random objects instead of anything scary or believable. He gives several exaggerated examples, emphasizing how extreme the disconnect is. He claims he kept laughing through the movie, and says others did too.

He also criticizes the ending as generic and awful, likening it to a worse “Paranormal Activity”-style horror climax.

Final Verdict

Mike gives the movie a 5/10. He suggests it might not be “so bad it’s good” for everyone, but it definitely became that for him—worth seeing mainly for the laughs at how the scares and kills play out.

He signs off by asking viewers about their favorite horror death scene.
