Drew B As someone studying cyber security, I found this documentary quite interesting yet disturbing. It's crazy how social engineering has evolved into such a hard case to crack. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review A. Michael U Scary - there are obviously too many nutcases without medical help roaming the planet. The culpable stalker will surprise you. In the end I'm simply glad that none of the victims commited acts of self-violence or even suicide. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Daniel N Shocking and eye-opening in so many respects, with the candidness of those that participated in this documentary perhaps being part of that. Food for thought for psychologists and more. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review James B This was a well done documentary about a really cringe story. When they did the reveal near the end of the doc I was absolutely shocked. It was just a sad, sad story, and with a documentary like this I kind of wonder if this was good for anyone involved. I mean it kind of seems like these families need to heal from this ordeal. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Jenine A. Unknown Number is an intriguing true-crime story with a shocking resolution—my jaw was on the floor by the end, and I was left simmering with frustrated disbelief long after the credits rolled. The documentary is executed with impressive precision, and it’s remarkable how much participation the filmmakers secured, including both the victims and the perpetrator. By presenting all sides of the story, it delivers a gripping, fully rounded account that’s as unsettling as it is fascinating. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/25 Full Review Ann S Just-terrible. Spoiler here-the “loving”, “concerned” mom-is the actual perpetrator? She sent messages to her own daughter telling her to kill herself? She sent disgusting messages to her daughter and boyfriend. And-she is portrayed as someone who had “past trauma -as if that somehow excuses her reprehensible behaviour? No-sorry-this one doesn’t fly for me. I feel like I just spent all this time allowing a sociopath to explain herself (deceptively). This one should never have been aired.
