![]() ![]() The lighting and setting are also hauntingly effective. To my surprise though, it added to the unsettlement and was used cleverly and intelligently, an essential part of the storytelling even and reflective of how screen dominates lives. If anybody asks if the film works well as a standalone, the answer would be yes it does and that it does is more than a good thing.Īm not usually a fan of the type of camera work used in 'Unfriended: Dark Web', which tends to be overused and abused. Going by vague recollection of the first 'Unfriended', 'Unfriended: Dark Web' is darker and bleaker than that film, with a scarier view of humanity and technology and less of the supernatural element, and all the better for it. 'Unfriended: Dark Web' has problems and is more an uneven film than a great one, but it has more than enough good points to make it an above average watch. Decided to see 'Unfriended: Dark Web' because the advertising was cool and creepy, the idea really intrigued (even if it is not the most innovative of ones) and it was also part of my quest to see as many 2018 films as possible. Have not seen the first 'Unfriended' in a while but remember not being hugely enamoured by it, though a re-watch is in order.
