Critics Consensus

Unfriended: Dark Web is more interested in chills than an exploration of its timely themes, but horror fans should still find this sequel to be steadily, undeniably effective.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

The movie pushes the Windows idiom of modern cinema about as far as it will go, its narrative cleverness offset by the visual tedium of following a mouse arrow around for an hour and a half.

Dark Web: Unfriended needs less reliance on lewd jokes and more on its screenwriting.

Rated: 2/4

Figuratively speaking, Unfriended 2 puts a sheet over its head and says "whooo; the internet is scary". It is seldom as scary as a sheet.

Rated: 2/5

If continuity errors bother you tremendously, there will be plenty of spots in Unfriended: Dark Web that will niggle you. My suggestion would be to go in, suspend your disbelief, and have a good time.

Rated: 6/10

Horror Queers Podcast

A surprisingly mean (and prescient) screenlife horror film about the dangers of being online. The characters decisions become easier to accept once you realize they were never getting out of this. Plus: casual queer rep for the win!

Rated: 3.5/5

I’m not sure this latest film, of the “found footage/cyber” genre is perfected yet, but I like that people are experimenting with it, and I am very interested in seeing what comes next.

Rated: C-

The movie was pretty intense, and much more intense then the original "Unfriended" movie. Of course it was made later, so there was the opportunity to have better tech. I recommend it...and you don't have to even see the first one to appreciate this one.

Unfriended: Dark Web delivers a chilling cyber-thriller experience through a unique laptop-screen perspective, immersing viewers in a world where stolen technology leads to deadly consequences. Though some character actions feel illogical, the film redeems itself with escalating tension, solid performances, and a smart plot twist that ties loose ends. It serves as a stark reminder about digital privacy, online safety, and the real dangers lurking in the unseen corners of the internet.

Fairly predictable in almost every way, that doesn’t mean the ride wasn’t worth it. It’s a good time.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Definitely better than the first movie. Acting and overall plot was more cohesive and enjoyable to watch. Not particularly scary but it's a good watch with friends. Had an enjoyable twist and realisation. "It is game night" out of 10

A sequel in name only that retains the format of the original but changes the twist and manages to surprisingly work much better.
