While video chatting one night, six high school friends receive a Skype message from a classmate who killed herself exactly one year ago. At first they think it's a prank, but when the girl starts revealing the friends' darkest secrets, they realize they are dealing with something out of this world, something that wants them dead.

Unfriended subverts found-footage horror clichés to deliver a surprisingly scary entry in the teen slasher genre with a technological twist.

'Unfriended' delivers groundbreaking originality with its computer screen format and timely social commentary on cyberbullying, creating genuine suspense that keeps viewers guessing. However, the unconventional single-perspective approach proves divisive, with some finding it boring and ugly. The writing and performances receive mixed reactions, working well for some but feeling insufficient or amateurish to others. This polarizing horror experiment resonates strongly with certain audiences while completely alienating others, making it a risky but potentially rewarding watch.
