I know I skipped this one because, well, I thought it sounded dumb as hell. The cover features a teen girl with tears in her eyes as she's screams, her face awash in the blue light cast from her monitor. I made jokes about it with my boyfriend.
"Oh look at me. I'm freaking out because Kaylyn doesn't want to be my friend because I called Makenzee a whore face! Waaah!"
So, finally, worn down by boredom and my desire to devour another horror movie I rented "Unfriended"' and figured it would suck, but I actually ended up liking it! I love it when I find an overlooked horror selection. It's a genre so packed with various types of chills and thrills, it can be tough to separate the good from the boring or torture porn types. I can do with a bit of torture ( take the excellent House of 1000 Corpses for example), but it has to have more than just carnage to engage me.
"Unfriended" is the story of a group of teens who spend an evening on Skype together. When a mysterious hacker starts interfering with their conversation, things start to get ugly, and secrets come out. I found this one enjoyable and unexpected. I'm always a fan of using creativity to make the mundane interesting. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading, and sleep tight, my pretties!

I saw this one and was pleasantly surprised by it too! I look forward to reading more of your horror posts!
I'm sure that @phanhoang would also like to see more posts on the horror genre 🙄
Thanks for the resteem @cellardoorzero!
Nice to see you here on steemit.
@renodakota
Unfriended was actually good huh? I enjoyed it! Have you watched Megan is Missing? That's another one in this category.
Young people and their technology......
Oh, I forgot about that one! I did want to see it. Thanks for the reminder. I may try to watch that tonight.
I know you'll love it!
Is it on Netflix?
Yes it is :)
I'll let you know.
Okay, so you finally have me here. I have not seen this one and because of this post I now plan to put it on the list.
Cool! I really was expecting a hate-watch, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's no Oculus, but I liked it.
I still need to see this
Yeah, it was pleasantly decent.
