    I'm guessing a lot of you will think this is stupid or whatever, but with so few horror movies in theaters now, I was excited about this and saw it last night. I thought it was pretty good and I like the idea of having the whole movie be via the internet basically, although I hope it doesn't become a popular trend. If you decide to see this, know what you're getting yourself into or else you may hate it. There's definitely some boring/s--- scenes but I expected that and kinda laughed at them, some unintentionally funny parts too lol. But I enjoyed it for what it was. It also moves pretty fast after the first 15 mins and had some good acting and tense moments.

    It's getting pretty mixed reviews so far although 67% on rotten tomatoes for a horror movie is pretty good.

    Yes it came out officially today although I saw it last night, they always have Thursday night screenings here.

    *major spoilers below*

    @Mike Tyson , were you surprised that everyone died? I kinda thought at least Blaire would survive but I guess with how they revealed her involvement at the end, it made sense.

    Kon must've been so excited that he posted two threads http://forum.sectioneighty.com/unfriended.t32339/page-2#post-773259

    Time to test out that ignore thread feature on here.

    @Kon. Yeah, you know what...

    ...I wasn't surprised that everyone died, but when I realized Blaire ended up killing both Mitch and Adam I was rattled. I mean, Adam was obviously her fault as she put up the paper, but Mitch died because she lied and said he posted it, not her. That was rattling. And the deaths were f----- up, I think the film was well done for these reasons:
    • It kept me engaged the entire time and the whole thing was on her desktop, that was dope as h---
    • It was well acted for a Skype thing - I felt something between Adam and Blaire when they Skyped each other first while everyone else was connecting
    • The 2nd death, nothing could prepare you for that if you didn't know it was coming. Val's death was so mild so the hand in the blender was such a shock
    • It had a lasting impression on me, if a friend asked me to go see it with him, I'd probably be down to watch it again
    I haven't enjoyed a horror movie this much since the first Paranormal. What were your thoughts on it?

    Mike,
    Yeah I think the part at the end with the reveal of how Blaire was involved and the sign bit was one of the best parts of the movie. I also like how we finally saw the ghost for a sec at the very end. Val's death didn't show much you're right but I liked how they had what just looked like the image of her there before finally seeing it was actually video with the phone moving.

    I agree it was well acted, I thought all the characters did well but Blaire's stood out the most. I liked the whole thing from her desktop idea too although I hope it doesn't become a new trend to have stuff like that.

    I'd give it like a 8/10 probably, I enjoyed it for what it was.

    This is a dope read:

    Unfriended takes place on a single computer screen — and it works

    http://www.vox.com/2015/4/17/8440133/unfriended-movie-review

    this one too:
    Unfriended is the first film to accurately capture our virtual lives

    Saw this today. I liked the computer screen concept, but I don't know if it'll work on another film again. It was fresh to see something different (albeit familiar) when it comes to horror movie and the amateur footage thing. It was a really immersive experience tbh. Movie had some genuinely tense moments. f--- Blaire though, lil b---- a--- b----.

    It was like someone took r/nosleep and made a movie out of it. IIRC there's a really similar thread on nosleep about a guy and his dead gf messaging him thru FB.

    It was entertaining for sure. Nothing great, if you liked the first Paranormal activity you'll probably like this one too, even more

    just read both these -- agreed. I dug the film for what it was... it had good suspense/scares

    I was underwhelmed/disappointed by what the video of Laura actually was? Like, they built it up then it turned out she soiled herself. like i get thats embarrassing but i dunno..

    link?
