I'll admit the film held my attention but I left the theater unsatisfied, which I think will be a common reaction among those not within the demographic niche for which the production was mounted.

You feel some mild critique of lives lived through web applications. What you don't feel is sustained visceral fright.

You might find yourself rooting for the murderer.

If you can give yourself over to the idea of Unfriended,you'll find it's surprisingly engrossing and really quite clever.

Perhaps director Gabriadze and writer Nelson Greaves intended to create a Social Media "Scream" and a commentary on cyber-bullying, but "Unfriended" comes across as disdainful of millennials.
