Unfriended
Perhaps Unfriended is a failure but its concept alone made it one of the most talked about horror movies in recent memory. A skype call involving a group of sophomoric teens, harbouring dark secrets, being stalked by an online ghost. It’s ludicrous but even its silliest moments show airs or potential here; psychology, internalization and privacy all ingredients to elucidate fear and horror, and while some may argue Unfriended doesn’t quite bring these elements into play as well as it wants, it reminds us why these are essential.
