A surprisingly mean (and prescient) screenlife horror film about the dangers of being online. The characters decisions become easier to accept once you realize they were never getting out of this. Plus: casual queer rep for the win!

I’m not sure this latest film, of the “found footage/cyber” genre is perfected yet, but I like that people are experimenting with it, and I am very interested in seeing what comes next.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 8, 2023

Selling it are a cadre of solid performances from the actors, largely unknowns who take clichéd characters and give them some semblance of inner life.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 16, 2020

If "Unfriended" showed this idea in a state of awkward infancy, then "Unfriended: Dark Web" allows it to mature into a proverbial, meticulous beast.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 3, 2020

[W]hat Unfriended: Dark Web does is just so ridiculous -- and ostensibly within our own reality -- that it unfolds like an overlong joke completely devoid of scares.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2020

An over-explained, over-simplified exercise in minimalistic genre filmmaking. What is lacking here is inspiration and creativity.

The script deftly works its way through a deceptively large bag of tricks.

The movie pushes the Windows idiom of modern cinema about as far as it will go, its narrative cleverness offset by the visual tedium of following a mouse arrow around for an hour and a half.

[Stephen] Susco does something almost miraculous here too by pinning us all to our seats with one of the most effective villains to appear in a horror movie in a very long time.

'Unfriended: Dark Web' is a fun watch, even for those who didn't quite enjoy the first film. The story gets away from the supernatural, and the acting was much more solid across the board.

| Original Score: 3.5 | Aug 15, 2019

This is truly the darkest and most upsetting thing I've seen Blumhouse produce ... it is mean-spirited and gleeful in the traumas inflicted on the characters.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2019

Dark Web acts as a cautionary tale of all the ways in which an unregulated web can become the tool of our own destruction.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 1, 2019

Unfriended: Dark Web rises above the constraints of its browser tabs, and is able to weave a singular narrative that is both tense and frightening.

| Apr 10, 2019

Dark Web is a sequel that has too many of its lines crossed, adding nothing to the Hollywood hard drive.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 30, 2019

A lean and mean thriller that works more often than not, but nonetheless falls victim to its own conceit.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2019

With a believable concept that is told in a personal and terrifying way, Unfriended: Dark Web is a solid and very scary horror film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 21, 2019

A disturbing thriller, unsettling and rough, full of suspense, with a well-worked and well-developed script that is based on an original and provocative staging. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 29, 2018

The point of view of the film is exquisite and although the film does not contain variations of frames or depth, it does create many surprises should be a delight for the new generation of fans of horror movies. [Full Review in Spanish]

Unfriended: Dark Web does not have [Black Mirror's] ambition... However, the dynamism and specificity with which it describes the delirium of the time we live in exhibits the same intensity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 27, 2018

Despite counting on a style that seems overdone, this thriller about the dangers of the internet works. [Full Review in Spanish]
