Critics Consensus

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

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.

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

BuzzFeed News

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

Bloody Disgusting

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

Rated: 4/5

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

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

This feels weird that I also rated Sinister with 3 stars but what can I say. Anyways, the movie itself is somewhat accurate and actually kind of creepy. Now there are so much that they could have improved on like the characters and I wish they did something more than do it on just a screen. The performances aren’t really bad and the Skype aesthetic legit made me avoid Skype as a kid because it made think that it was haunted and it would make you kill yourself. Overall, a good horror movie with major flaws that bring it down a ton. 6/10.

Effective horror. Interesting idea for a franchise that you felt had almost ran out of those interesting ideas

I wasn't expecting much from the premise, but it wasn't bad. The ending sucked horribly and if the main characters were more likeable and relatable, it would have made me more emotionally invested but they were all annoying, entitled brats. So I guess it was still good to see them go.
