Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The Movie Diorama Being a computer programmer myself, it is extremely rare to encounter a film that utilises software correctly. Obviously, copyright and other laws protect websites and programs. So it was astonishing to see accurate programming in a low budget horror film, that not only looks authentic, but was genuinely scary at times. A teenager acquires a laptop that belongs to another individual. During a Skype call with his friends, he starts to experience unusual behaviour with his laptop and soon discovers the dark web. Identical premise, similar execution and a mirrored plot that substitutes an unrealistic ghostly presence for ominous hackers. Yet, this sequel proves to be more effective with its build up, resulting in an innovative tense experience. The performances were more grounded, focusing on their close friendship, making them relatable. From a couple getting engaged to an individual programming a sign language application to assist in communicating with their lover. They felt far more human. Certain revelations with the dark web itself were, well, dark. The realism of certain discoveries, including a folder of seemingly innocent videos, felt impactful as if we were in the Skype call with themselves. A few twists and turns consequently lead to an uninspired third act that loses all the momentum that was built up. Predictable, derivative and borderline boring. Such a shame given the excellent content of the first two acts. A few silly glitches, such as webcams becoming fuzzy when hooded culprits appear, physically hacking Facebook Messenger to remove messages (impossible by the way) and the quietest speeding van ever, squander the verisimilitude of the film and settle for generic horror traits. The horror is generated from its premise, jump scares aren't required but unfortunately the narrative is plagued with them. Having said that, Dark Web is a slight improvement over the original where authenticity creates tension. But crashes out in the third act, ultimately giving us the "blue screen of death".
joshuamiter Unfriended: Dark Web is such a unique thriller made for people to fear the internet, and it does it's job perfectly. In the duration of the movie you will find different rivers leading to different lakes and banks that are full of surprises and parts where it is just predictable. Not following along the story of the original Unfriended but this one in my opinion is in fact much better. This film has more mystery and suspense moments which makes this film one of Blumhouse's most evil movies ever made. Overall a great thriller with a great story line but with a lot of predictable and sketchy moments.
matthewmvpbilodeau I never saw the first Unfriended movie, and although it looked really good, I did not know what to expect out of this sequel. I didn't expect it to be good at all, and at first I thought my initial predictions were right. But after a very slow beginning, the movie picked up and got really intense...if your looking for a scary movie, this isn't for you. But if your looking for a crazy and intense movie that is pretty good and has an interesting plot, then you will thoroughly enjoy this like my gf and I did
SuperSlim451 While it holds the same sort of premise as the first with the whole computer screen view it is not like the first movie. The first one kind of sucked with all the super natural stuff going on in it. This one was more grounded in realism which helps it a lot and distinguishes it from the first one. Don't expect a magical experience that you'll walk away from thinking you have to see this again but you can expect to go away from it with a thought that this movie was not that bad at all. Kind of interesting and it might be worth watching a second time just to try to catch any minor small details you might have missed watching it the first time. Ir sort of creates that affirmation that the dark web is rather dark and not something to tread lightly in.So if you're looking for a movie that's not exactly horror but more thriller with some dark overtones and can spare about an hour and a half then this is the one to catch.
