Critics Consensus

Unfriended subverts found-footage horror clichés to deliver a surprisingly scary entry in the teen slasher genre with a technological twist.

The centrality of the laptop screen in Unfriended has been identified by some critics as a new or experimental take on found footage horror, but this is not the first film to use this idea.

3.5/5

As silly as the premise might sound, Unfriended is actually a surprisingly clever movie. It's far smarter and meaner than it looks.

It's a premise that seems ridiculous until you start to realize it might actually be brilliant, or at least charmingly clever.

4/5

An effective and ambitious interpretation of what it means to grow up with and live on the internet.

1/4

Meant as an attack on cyberbullying, this body count movie loses any hope of a meaningful social commentary just around the time a possessed blender frappés a teen.

4/5

Puts very real seeming (although slightly hysterical) teens in an unreal situation. As the stakes rise so do the emotions, so parents, be warned that you may be as horrified by the language as you are by the thrills and chills.

While Unfriended may not 'friend' every horror fan, its attempt to shake things up is praiseworthy. For the most part, the horror scenes are spine-tingling and fun, making it a great addition to the genre. Grading: C+

Not a bad movie, and I don't know why the ratings by the RT audiences are so bad. It's a bit primitive, but it's also 11 years old.

Wasn't terrible, had decent foreshadowing about each individual character. Definitely in so bad it's good territory. Ken was a real one. "Fun Here ->" out of 10

I'm way out of the demographic for this one - not even close to being a young social media type - but I liked this one anyway. I found it pretty suspenseful and wanted to see what would happen next.
