Review of the horror film "Unfriended"(2015)

Greetings, dear readers!

The horror film "Unfriended", the world premiere of which took place on July 20, 2014, and in Russian cinemas it appeared a year later-July 9, 2015, I looked not so long ago through the Internet on one of the sites that provide services for watching movies online. I wanted to know what kind of joint cinema could create Russian and American filmmakers. Yes, and in the genre of horror, because in our movie has not yet been any, any normal and interesting horror, they do not get scary, and that's it.

I didn't like that movie either. Its plot is very similar to the plots of other films. Not once I have seen films in which the spirits of the dead took revenge on their oppressors, some time after his death. But that would be all right. Each situation can be played differently. Here tried to do this, but unsuccessfully.

The film takes place on the monitor of the main character Blair. Its plot is the story of how a year ago, because of a stupid and vile joke of a group of high school friends in the network got a video compromising their mutual friend, as a result of which she committed suicide. By the way, the plot of the film is based on real events. Indeed, previously occurred suicide two teenagers-Amanda Todd (Amanda Todd) and Audrey Pott (Audri Pott).

And that's just on the anniversary of her death, during the General conference of friends in conversation with them comes in one unknown, which at first just annoying merry company that can not get rid of the uninvited guest, then begins a very strange - on behalf of Laura, the dead girl on Skype Blair begins to receive messages that contain revelations, threats, and incitement to suicide.

In end all die, but the most moment this viewers not show.

At best, you can catch a glimpse of a corpse in the frame, but mostly it ends with a scene of inspection of the scene by the police.

It's really annoying that you have to strain your eyes to read what Blair is texting with her boyfriend Mitch and the one who calls himself Laura.

Don't want to say that the film is really bad, but interesting or intriguing and addictive, I would not have called. If I'm disappointed with this, if I may say, horror, the fans of this genre, he especially will not be to your taste. Plus, the plot is quite delayed, although it is possible to guess in advance how it will end.

The actors - Shelly Hennig, Moses Storm, Renie Alstead, Will Peltz, Jacob Wisoki and others are not the best, but they are young, they have everything ahead of them.

Watch the film not advise, for good reason only time spend. Of the Russian filmmakers, by the way, I saw only the artist Veronica Belenikin.

I'm still shocked by the fact that, it turns out, all shown in the film accounts Facebook and Skype, actually exist! I don't think that's not right...

Thank you for your attention, see you soon.

With respect to you, @mrfantastis.
