So Mark Zuckerberg is the villain???....

...or maybe the villain is Sheldon Cooper gone evil...Because you couldn't do the kinds of things that the villain does in this film unless you have all kinds of coding skills and superuser privileges. But I digress.

It was actually pretty interesting to me.A lot of people complain about it not being scary or containing the essence of a horror film, and I think that's kind of the point. The cliches of horror are there to throw you off the scent - the real horror comes from these kids and the depths of violence and cruelty that they show themselves to be capable of. They experience horror in the form of a ghost haunting them as they skype and chat online, but any violence that goes on is nothing compared to what they do to each other as they're forced to reveal their own and each other's secrets.

That alone, to me, makes it worth watching seriously. And the film has a "gimmick" that demonstrates a command of realism that returns to the fundamental idea of the verite style, after so many hackneyed "found footage" films made that term meaningless. The same is true for the dialogue - it's not good, because it's realistic. The characters do dumb things because it's realistic. And anyway, the idea of characters doing dumb things is a staple of horror films and makes for good writing. Characters making smart choices does not a good horror film make.

I'd recommend it.

A lot stupider than people think.

I hate this movie. I really hate this movie. It's brainless, utterly stupid and because it made such a large profit we're going to be seeing lots of it from here on in.

The premise is decent in that you have a group of friends on a Skype call on the anniversary of one of their friend's suicide and strange things start to happen. The friend, who is definitely dead, joins their chat and even starts sending messages to them in Facebook. Like I said it's a decent enough setup. The problem comes with how they decided to put it all together.

All of the action comes from one girl's POV on her computer and we see everybody else on facecam. So we're stuck in one location for the entire movie. What's more this was actually shot with these kids in front of GoPro cameras in the same house but in different rooms which is why you have one person literally doing her part of the chat from the laundry room. Yeah. We're expected to think that these people carry their powered on and connected to the internet laptops around with them everywhere just in case they get an invitation to a Skype call. An invitation I might add that three of them never got and just appeared on the chat between a girl and her boyfriend who were engaged in a little cyber foreplay.

They all talk and they bicker like children. It's quite annoying actually. But then maybe it was to make them as unlikable as possible. At least that's my guess.

The facecams glitch out to a ridiculous degree but I guess that was done to hide some of the cuts. Although from one shot literally to the next people change position and are away from the webcam when they're still somehow typing. How does that work again? It would have been interesting had they used the glitching a little more effectively. Like maybe, just for a moment, one of the character glitches out and their face is all distorted. Or there's a flash from behind them of a shadow or figure or even just a pair of eyes or something to show that this isn't a normal Skype call. Don't call attention to it, just have it there to give us a sense of unease.

The way that these kids are then killed is then telegraphed very early on. If you see them with something in their hand, or close by, that will be how they die. So it makes sense that the fat kid has a blender there at his desk so later on when he gets possessed he uses that to blend his hand followed by his neck. Or the girl using the curling iron in the first scene winds up dying when it's thrust down her throat.

And in the end the last one to survive is actually the one that is responsible for the death of their friend. What a shocker and follow it up with a jump scare. The end.

This is a stupid movie.

Horror and gore meets the online world

"Cybernatural", also known as "Unfriended" is a 77-minute (without credits) movie from last year. It's the first English language movie with an American cast by Georgian director Levan Gabriadze and the writer is Nelson Greaves who also worked on the new television series "Sleepy Hollow". The pretty short movie here is basically almost entirely a recording of a camera and text chat between several friends online. A girl committed suicide a while ago after a humiliating video was posted and all of a sudden her social media account shows activity again and communicates with the people we see during this web-cam chat. The rest is pretty generic for horror films. Hidden secrets about betrayal and cheating surface. They get killed one by one and we all witness the action as if we are a member of this group of friends. The actors are all fairly unknown, but admittedly they also do not have to show great performances to make this work. And I think it does work, mostly because of the interesting details included in here, such as how people chat to other people apart from the web-cam chat as well or just the little things that got used convincingly in terms of chats. The makers certainly knew very well about the main location of this movie. And there also is some pretty dark humor in this one, such as the ad which shows up near the end or the stills that are displayed every time somebody is killed, stills on which the person in question looks so happy having a good time, pretty much the exact opposite of what is happening in reality right now. No great movie, but a good one I might say. Recommended.
