Full Review Page

The R rating throws you off. This is solidly a "teen" horror movie. The entire plot is bullied dead girl killed herself a year ago and now she is a computer hacking ghost out for revenge. The rules of her ghostly-ness are inconsistent and unexplained, the characters are unrealistic and erratic (and really dumb, as a "teen" horror movie would usually require), and the story is treated as tertiary at best with very little back story beyond pretty girl got bullied and shot herself in the parking lot. The shooting is shown within the first five minutes and a a great showcase of how they managed to make a real movie with a million dollar budget; the effects are terrible and the acting is a little better than you would have expected from The Hills. The deaths are underwhelming at best and when we do actually get to see some effects, they are crap that any schmuck could do in their kitchen. If you aren't as cynical as me, you can probably get a small bit of legitimate horror movie feeling from the atmosphere Unfriended creates, but I can't imagine anyone being humanly able to give less of a crap about the characters. There is very minimal gore and the language easily and "sexuality" should easily place Unfriended in PG-13 territory, where it's audience is, but the R rating gives false hopes. The novelty of the Skype/Facebook messenger found footage-esque movie was interesting, but Unfriended often feels like an ABC Family Channel movie when it keeps trying to push anti-bullying within a horror movie. Unfriended gives itself too much credit to try and make a statement. Some unintentionally funny moments, but very little actual horror. For teens in 2014 who seem to be at least semi-affluent, these people have the worst internet connections. That was the only time I felt even a little bad for these kids.
