Made by the same company who produced Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and the Sinister franchise, Unfriended was expected to be one of the biggest horror movies of 2015, with its prone internet-theme marketed especially towards teenagers and their online habits.

The movie is built around the viral suicide of Laura Barns after an incriminating video of her was posted online. Cyberbullying directed towards her soon led her to end her life. When a group of friends are video chatting a year later, they realized someone unexpected has joined the conversation. Laura is back and is hunting down whoever posted the video, even if it means sacrificing the others.

Monica Lewinsky, a host of the recent TED talk, “The Price of Shame” said, “Cruelty is nothing new. But online, technologically-enhanced shaming is amplified, uncontained and permanently accessible. Millions of people can stab you with their words and that’s a lot of pain.”

Cyberbullying has been relatively new, since the uprising of new social media platforms emerging in the last decade. In Unfriended, Laura soon starts sending party photos of the other chat members that cannot be deleted from Facebook, videos with ruthless behavior, and private messages that uncover secrets the teens have been trying to hide.

Lewinsky said, “There’s also, of course, the issue of cyberbullying. While a genre film like Unfriended isn’t exactly a life-changer, it does shed some necessary light on the problem, and viewers will acknowledge that online harassment is a horrifying byproduct of our Internet-entwined world.”
