Unfriended: Dark Web

The movie pushes the Windows idiom of modern cinema about as far as it will go, its narrative cleverness offset by the visual tedium of following a mouse arrow around for an hour and a half.

Dark Web: Unfriended needs less reliance on lewd jokes and more on its screenwriting.

Figuratively speaking, Unfriended 2 puts a sheet over its head and says "whooo; the internet is scary". It is seldom as scary as a sheet.

The novelty of the "desktop aesthetic" is wearing decidedly thin. Better writing. Better acting. Better direction. Please.

The truth is more interesting - and terrifying - than this fiction.

It's impressive how many layered twists Dark Web inflicts after its simple start...

A surprisingly mean (and prescient) screenlife horror film about the dangers of being online. The characters decisions become easier to accept once you realize they were never getting out of this. Plus: casual queer rep for the win!

I’m not sure this latest film, of the “found footage/cyber” genre is perfected yet, but I like that people are experimenting with it, and I am very interested in seeing what comes next.

Selling it are a cadre of solid performances from the actors, largely unknowns who take clichéd characters and give them some semblance of inner life.

If "Unfriended" showed this idea in a state of awkward infancy, then "Unfriended: Dark Web" allows it to mature into a proverbial, meticulous beast.
