47. Unfriended (Netflix)

Hey, it's this movie that people seem like they hated entirely because it was Facebook. Because it's actually pretty good!

Unfriended is about the spirit of a girl who committed suicide that haunts a Zoom call of a group of friends.

...Okay, when you describe the movie out it does sound pretty back. BUT IT'S PRETTY GOOD THOUGH! As far as I'm concerned, it pioneered the genre of computer screen films! Yeah, it has teenagers being dumb teenagers, but it actually gives you a pretty compelling plot throughout it.

The story of this poor girl who committed suicide has a lot of twists and turns, and that's probably the most interesting part of it. There's a few cringy things like TEENAGE DRAMA and then the whole blender thing, but other than that the rest of this movie is actually pretty fun! It's the first one of it's kind, and it's a bit rough around the edges, but I can't really fault it a ton.

It's an enjoyable, easy watch. I really like the twist ending a lot. And I think it's admirable that this created a genre that gave us a movie like Searching, or Host. Problem is, Host is a much better movie than this, IMHO! So is Searching. So that's probably the thing working against it the most, is that people have made better movies off this style. But overall, Unfriended is a good time.

Rating: 7.5/10
