The first episode of "Unfriending" is very similar to the Skype version of "Death is Coming". Friends in front of the camera jointly investigate why there are mysterious people in the group. During the investigation, it is found that there is a lot of injustice and debt, and the friends die in turn because of ghosts. The proposition of the story is the same ── Ghost revenge, relying on the sudden appearance of the strange power behind him to create a large number of Jump Scare, the director is weak and skillful, but the novelty of "the world's first window-style movie" is enough.
The sequel presents a completely different story style, erasing the elements of ghosts and Jump Scare. The horror film is based on life, and if the material is appropriate, it can capture people's hearts. This film starts a journey on the Internet that the audience often contacts, and the sense of horror comes from the audience's love for it. Familiar with the unknown imagination of mediators and going deep into the dark web world, it is very possible to find out some amazing secrets and ask for trouble. How to balance the balance between curiosity and fear is up to people, but once this mysterious door is opened, humanity will be wiped out. , The values with no moral bottom line are coming, and it is found at any time that human nature is more terrifying.
The movie is played on the computer screen of the male protagonist. In the era of technology, everyone is afraid of "crash" and losing all files. "plot" errors such as color wave loading and sudden black screen cause the audience to think that the computer is malfunctioning, and use off-screen interaction to generate novel fears It's a clever arrangement, but the mosaic of "tiktok style" for the villain is a superfluous setting.
The male protagonist wrote a sign language app for the deaf female protagonist, but the female protagonist kept avoiding the male protagonist. The story spent a lot of margins depicting the relationship between the protagonists. At one time, he thought it was a youth love movie, and it was not officially released until 30 minutes later. Expanding the story, there is a suspicion of making up the length of the film.
The film did not go deep into the Internet as expected, revealing more unknown secrets to satisfy the curiosity of the audience. The dark web is only the carrier of the story, and the story of the dark web elements can also be taken out of the way. Not up to the standard of exploitation movies, the second half returns to the traditional narrative structure of adventure movies, the difference is that the villain is endowed with infinite ability to destroy the protagonist group, and the two sides with disparity in power take away the suspense of victory and defeat, and once again fall into the first episode and wait for the moment of death , the sense of terror is divorced from reality, and the persuasion is insufficient.
Rating: 5/10
