Movie Review: Unfriended

Unfriended, while mildly inventive and not a total waste, was a tad underwhelming. Sure, the premise was refreshing - originality goes a long way towards making a horror flick entertaining - the acting was shockingly terrific, and the entertainment factor kept me glued to the screen for the most part, but everything was disappointingly predictable. The pacing was a little problematic and repetitive, the nature of the story made it really difficult to root for the characters - I felt no real sense of loss throughout the whole film - and the scares were few and far between with lame thrills that somehow cheapen the rest of the movie. No, Unfriended wasn't exactly a bad film, but the execution could've been a lot better and tighter. A total missed opportunity. 5
