Story: Tells the story about a teen who comes into possession of a new laptop and finds that it may have been stolen. He discovers the previous owner may be watching every move he makes and will do anything to get it back
Likes: Darkweb directed and written by Stephen Susco bring us a sequel to the first unfriended film, only this time moving away from the supernatural concept which made the first film a lot better with it plot, where the girl that died, her spirit took revenge of those that bullied her which gave unfriended a more spooky tone.
Here we have the opposite with a more disturbing side of the internet and why the internet can be a very dangerous place sometimes, especial with our world today there are a lot of sick twist evil people around that would get the kicks out of hurt someone for money.
Special on places like the dark web which I have no intention of researching as you never know what goes on, knowing human nature as I do, not a place I would want to get anyone I know involved in or hurt from some psychopath who gets their kicks out of hurting people. Though someone tried that crap with me they would find themselves the hunted, just saying !!!!!
The thing with this film is it's inventive taking the object of a simple computer and turn it as a subject of horror or a thriller it's a pretty good way of filming, it makes a change from that boring found footage films, which to be honest I hate with a passion, not my type of film.
This story starts with a group of friends who seem to have this game on skype with each other until one of the friends find out that the laptop he has some pretty disturbing files, which lead to a very consequence as the film progress. You can kind of guess the rest without me even explaining what happens.
Not that this film was good, I did prefer the first film which I think the sequel should have followed suit with that concept of supernatural, I think the story would have been a little better, although this sequel does have some pretty disturbing things going on.
So it one of those film you iver love or hate.
Dislikes: This film has a few flaws especial the whole reason for the Laptop, I get what is happening around the whole file that is on the laptop but the ending just doesn't make sense what so ever because of the plot hole.
Even the first film had a straight direction with the PC being haunted by the ghost of the girl who was bullied and she took revenge from beyond the grave, so you understood the direction and the way that film.wa going in, Here this film could've been a little better written as if fall flat due to the plot holes.
Overall: Ok film, the first film was better, good acting. poor plot.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 6.1 out of 10 for the concept.
