Unfriended- Coby Russo Week 19

    

    Hey guys, welcome back to my blog. Unfriended, a 2014 horror film, is about six teenagers on a Skype video chat, where an unknown user, "Billie227", joins the call. The unknown profile poses as Laura Barnes, an old friend who committed suicide due to online harassment and bullying exactly one year prior to the video call. The unknown user, who controls their computers, warns the six friends that whomever attempts to hangup or call the cops will die. Not too long after, Val and Ken (teenagers on the call) attempted to disobey Billie227's rules, therefore, they were somehow influenced to commit suicide, Val was forced to drink bleach and Ken had to slit his throat with a blender. Soon later, Blaire, Mitch, Jess and Adam were forced to play a game called "Never Have I Ever". As Blaire, one of the teenagers on the video chat, attempts to figure out who this person is by private messaging the unknown user, her friends are all forced to reveal their deepest and darkest secrets. While playing the deadly game, both Blaire and Adam receive a paper that states "If you reveal this not Blaire/Adam will die", Adam would eventually shoot himself. Since she lost the game, Jess was the fourth to go, she stuck a heated curling iron down her throat. Since he lied during the game, Mitch would eventually be forced stab himself to death. The movie comes to a close with a mysterious individual mauling and killing Blaire. Overall, I thought this movie was mediocre because the acting in it was just okay, the producers could have done a better job with the movie.

    I believe that this movie exemplifies the affects of what bullying and online harassment can do to a person. People feel ashamed of themselves after hearing rude remarks made about them, so let's not be rude to one another, just kill it with kindness. ahaha Let me know in the comments what you think about this movie!

Here's a link to my favorite death (Ken's) skip to 2min and 20seconds:
