Have to say. The movie is better than i expected and is better than the ratings it got. The screencast was new and very appealing. Wont say its really scary but it i was kinda in the zone while watching. somehow i was hooked to the screen. Defently worth a watch.

I don't know why, but I actually liked this, the whole "skype-desktop" thing worked for me, it was original. And I actually got scared at one time which never happens to me while watching horror movies, and I've watched some that are considered "the best ones". The last seconds were kinda unnecessary though.

It's refreshing to see an original storyline for this genre.

A unique, worth watching movie. It wasn't very scary but it was definitely creepy and the plot was engaging. Really deserved better ratings.

After all the "it's better than it deserves to be" opinions I've seen I'm rather disappointed. https://trakt.tv/movies/the-den-2013 already had a very similar approach except that it also mixes in found footage. The reveal was very weak and not what I hoped for. Next time just pull the plug kiddos.

As others have said, the concept is original and well-executed. If you see this movie as a social commentary on millenials, it's excellent; but as a horror flick it lacks in some parts. I think the death scenes should have been way gorier (and possibly longer?) for the whole thing to work perfectly. Overall I loved it, though.

It was way better than I expected. When I first saw the entire movie was gonna be "skype" based I thought it was gonna be really boring, but I was wrong.
Different from all types of horror movies that are being released right now. I truly, truly enjoyed it.

to quote a friend of mine.

Absolute garbage. Six scumbags shout at each other on skype for an hour.

So i watched and i kind a like it ... actually it was really good for me one of the best ones ! One of the reasons is that it has a new scenario , the skype thing it´s awesome , has scary parts ... The others scary movies are all the same thing ( like this ghosting movie ) they have a house , family hunted ... but i like it but one thing that i dont understand is why it has a low rating ? -_- The movie has a awesome story it´s different so i dont know :p (Sorry about the bad english but i´m not american or british :p)

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Unfriended! The most interesting thing is that the movie doesn't use fake hollwood effects but the whole movie really takes place on the desktop of Blaires computer - I found that unique and exciting and it worked well for me! Also some pretty good tensions there :)

The online friends chatting in this movie are presented as flawed and despicable. This makes it easy to laugh when they are comically murdered by an Internet killer.

This paints a very accurate picture of how many people use (or more accurately misuse) different social media apps and tools. Whether or not they deserve their fates is up to the viewer to decide, but I was impressed by the way that the director told the story. The entire movie never strays from the Macbook screen of the main character. Everything that happens is relayed from texts, emails, chat rooms and videos. It's really ingenious. It sounds boring but it's really creative. There are frozen apps, pix-elated images, and all sorts of other glitches that are commonplace when using social media and they are all used together to tell this story.

You'll have to suspend your disbelief that anyone could control the online experiences of a half dozen people as the hacker of this movie does. It's impossible of course, unless it's related to a supernatural entity, right?

Beware of a stupid ending.

I watched Unfriended Dark Web before watching this one. If I watched this first I wouldn't have bothered with Dark Web. Which would be a shame cause that's actually a decent movie. Unlike this. None of the characters are likeable.
