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.

It was really good! I love how they were able to film this entire thing just from a computer screen, while still conveying so much emotion and drama. It's a great horror movie.

This movie was amazing. Had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the cast and their performances (especially Shelley/Ashley), and especially the nostalgic computer design (I feel it being on my computer now haha) and "late night call" vibes. It's something I live for. There's a reference to Teen Wolf on the computer which is a show Shelley has acted in. The pacing is good, but it was slow at times and had some unnecessarily long scenes. And the language was annoyingly frequent. For these two reasons, I had to take off half a star. There are many suggestive themes and sex, but no explicit nudity. The violence was strong, but mostly hidden by the grainy texture of the call. Not torture porn level. The best part was the mystery. No one seems to know who the "troll" is. They all accuse each other, and even throw out the possibility that it's Laura, even though she's dead. If you want drama, suspense and good nostalgic mystery, this movie is for you! I recommend to horror fans.

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.
