The first Unfriended was a fun yet forgettable film. It was cheap, of its time, but unique. the sequel is cheap, of its time and improves the idea. Throw out the supernatural elements, add in some major hackers, and you have Dark Web. It shows how scary the internet can be if you cross the wrong path, and how master hackers can easily fuck up your life. That laptop you "found" don't use it, your info will go to these guys, your friends, they are connected via social media, boom they are hacked. Sure most of it might not happen this easily, but still, with as connected as we all are to our phones, computers, what have you, your info can easily be leaked. The film does have creepy moments but overall is contains an aura of fun to it. With that said, it almost feels like a theatrical version of Guinea Pig, August Underground or The Vomit Gore Trilogy, no where near as edgy, but it used to medium of "reality" in a more mainstream acceptable way than those films.
