Social media for the most part, is a complete nightmare, so it's nice to finally see it through the eyes of the horror genre.
I don't know about the rest of you, but whenever I log on to Facebook, the last thing I have to worry about is a vengeful demon. No, I have to deal with something far more sinister - countless number of meme posts, depressed 'friends,' whom I don't even know, and parents of all ages posting pictures of their ugly children. You know, children that only parents find beautiful? Yes, those kind. 'Unfriended' gives a nice look at many of the horrors of social media, and allows us, the viewers to enjoy watching the consequences of these actions, even if only fictional. Still somewhat enjoyable. In fact, the next time I log on to Facebook, I think I'll remove all of you from my 'friends' list, so I don't have to look at your meaningless, unfunny memes any longer. What do you think about that? Thanks, Billie, for showing me the light.
So, anyway, now that I have moved over to Twitter - what about the film? Not a terrible concept, but not something I'd watch again. I found myself with a slight headache during the film, because this is one of the reasons I avoid Skype and all voice chats - Idiots. 'Unfriended' puts you right into the call for about 80 minutes, and while the demise of these people is enjoyable, getting to that point in the film is a bit exhausting. The acting is fine, for what was asked from the actors - just be as annoying and obnoxious as possible. You know, be yourself.
Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Unfriended' isn't a terrible film, and while I do enjoy the concept of mocking social media, and the idiots that use it, even the fictional idiots will keep me from viewing it for a second time.
