Alexandra Heller-Nicholas ABC News (Australia) 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. Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Alex Abad-Santos Vox As silly as the premise might sound, Unfriended is actually a surprisingly clever movie. It's far smarter and meaner than it looks. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 14, 2015 Full Review Alison Willmore BuzzFeed News It's a premise that seems ridiculous until you start to realize it might actually be brilliant, or at least charmingly clever. Nov 10, 2015 Full Review Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting An effective and ambitious interpretation of what it means to grow up with and live on the internet. Rated: 4/5 Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 1/4 Jun 21, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 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. Rated: 4/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Alexander S 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+ Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Melissa L 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review True 1 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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review acsdoug D 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Obi-wan K The concept is total ASS Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Anh H. Absolutely loved this film! A must watch!
