Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Neil Welch Matias is working on software to covert the spoken word into sign language to make skyping his deaf girlfriend a more productive experience. However, he is doing so on a laptop he picked up from a Lost and Found box. It turns out to have some very unsettling material on it, and its previous owner wants it back. Matias and his Skype friends are in deep trouble.This film uses the same conceit as its predecessor Unfriended: all we see is Matias' desktop. The story is quite different, though, and convincing in terms of someone unknown being able to use your technology to spy on you, if not so much about the torture video swap ring they use such tech to support.The cast of unknowns do well. Like its predecessor, this is a small film with small production values, which works extremely well because of a goo story, an effective script, and good performances.This is worth catching if you like dark dramas.
andiesikes This movie was far better than the first "Unfriended," despite the fact the two films aren't related in anyway, other than the fact that the films are both shot from a computer and a group of friends get picked off one by one during a skype call. Now It's not as horrible as the first one because the premis doesn't seem as ridiculous..The dark web is a real place where there are sick people that are willing to pay to be able to watch innocent victims get tortured or murdered. It seems more realistic than a ghost stalking and harassing people via Facebook and Skype. However, this movie does still fall short. Frankly, It's quite boring. You really don't care about the characters, and they make stupid choices. I felt like I was just waiting to watch the next character die one by one because I knew that's all that was going to happen. It seemed like lazy writing overall..a group of kids get targeted by people on the deep web and get killed off just because. It's a fun movie to watch with friends at your apartment so you can laugh at all the stupid writing and cringe and the few violent scenes but I wouldn't waste your money on seeing it in theaters.
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".
george.schmidt UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB (2018) * Colin Woodell, Stephanie Nogueras, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Betty Gabriel, Andrew Lees, Savira Windyani, Connor Del Rio, Alexa Mansour, Chelsea Alden, Bryan Adrian, Douglas Tait, Rob Welsh, Maya Nalli, Eric Watson. Unnecessary (and totally unwanted) sequel (and want of a franchise apparently) to the cyberhorror film this time with six vapid young friends who uncover a downward spiral of viral proportions when they find themselves enmeshed in a cruel twist of fate: a stolen laptop with access to unspeakable crimes, blackmail and homicidal tendencies. Delete account at all costs. (Dir: Stephen Susco)
