- Bill Clark @ From The Balcony
- Excerpt: Unfriended is a by-the-numbers, scare-free slasher package that will likely test your patience for watching people yell at each other on Skype.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: while “Unfriended” is smart about how it uses the [online ‘found’ footage] device to tell its story, the story itself is poor programming.
- [New – 8/13/15] | M. Enois Duarte @ High-Def Digest.com
- Mark Dujsik @ RogerEbert.com
- Excerpt: Superficially, this is a horror movie, although its distinct lack of such important elements as mounting suspense and genuine scares forces us to think otherwise.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Flashy, yet unnerving – it delves into internet-obsessed teens’ daily lives…
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Unfriended isn’t going to put a stop to cyberbullying, however, at least this nastily effective freak-out isn’t just an empty-headed slasher pic but in with the zeitgeist and has something on its mind.
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- Daniel Lackey @ The Nightmare Gallery
- Excerpt: A fun slasher with a neat gimmick that keeps the audience engaged when the story sags.
- Glenn Lovell @ CinemaDope.com
- Excerpt: … a cyber-chiller twist on Agatha Christie’s ‘And Then There Were None’ … creates a claustrophobic sense of inevitability even as it has us glancing nervously over our shoulder.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Ross Miller @ Thoughts On Film
- Excerpt: For what it aims to be, Unfriended is a fun, atmospheric and quite unsettling experience when it wants to be, one that uses its admittedly gimmicky premise to nicely unnerving effect while also having something halfway meaningful to say about the responsibility that at least should come with interacting with people online.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Unfriended is being sold as a horror movie, but there’s nothing remotely scary during the duration of the film. There’s a “ghost” in a group Skype chat that has no profile picture, and we’re supposed to be terrified when the characters can’t hang up on it, or even close their windows. The horror!
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Stultifyingly stupid…It’s difficult bto care about the demise of characters in a horror movie when they’re all already brain-dead.
