Saw “Unfriended.” This is definitely one of the more unique experiences of a horror movie that I’ve ever seen. The whole film is seen through one of the character’s laptop screen! This isn’t just “video chat the scary film,” it includes other aspects like instant messaging, facebook, youtube, google, etc, and are all done in a very organic way.
While I won’t go so far and say that this is a truly scary movie, it surely got my absolute attention. It’s a very engaging premise and plays off a bit like a suspenseful mystery, with things getting more and more intense with each plot turn. I found myself excitingly anticipating to see what’s going to happen next. Although it can be tiring seeing the skype video get pixelated so many times.
At only being 80 minutes of a run time, Director Levan Gabriadze and the actors did a fantastic job keeping a great momentum throughout. While there are still some questionable logic here, I thought the movie was rather clever in giving out some reasonings to keep the characters and the story believable enough. Although “Unfriended” looks like a cheap idea of a movie, I’m glad to say that I rather enjoyed the whole thing.
