Something that I've noticed recently in horror franchises that have tried to get off the ground in the past couple of years, the second entry is actually better than the first. In ages past, a thing unheard of, but now at least as common as not. Same goes for _Unfriended: Dark Web_. Just about everything is one step up from the first _Unfriended_ movie: Acting, AV, urgency, the shorter wait times, and the new direction _Dark Web_ takes in terms of its antogonists (I won't spoil it for you, but surely you're capable of reading a title and putting it together for yourself) works better in this one too. I feel at least. Now neither of these films are perfect, but the first _Unfriended_ movie was okaaaaaaaaay, and this one has managed to push it by the skin of it's teeth over in to what I could honestly argue is "good". _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

Unfriended: Dark Web takes the unique computer-screen format from the first movie and dials it up with a more grounded and plausible storyline, which makes it far scarier this time around. The technical execution is sharp, seamlessly immersing you in the digital world where every click, message, and video feed ramps up the tension. It’s an unconventional way of storytelling, but the production nails it, making the experience feel eerily real. What sets this one apart is the shift in tone. Instead of leaning into the supernatural elements of its predecessor, this movie opts for a more realistic and chilling approach. The grounded nature of the story makes the threats feel tangible, and that plausibility is what makes it so unsettling. It’s a change that works in the movie’s favor, as it takes the fear from something fantastical to something that could actually happen, amplifying the intensity and dread. As a standalone thriller, it excels at creating an atmosphere of paranoia and helplessness, with its focus on the dangers of the digital age. It may not feel like a traditional sequel, given its departure from the themes of the original, but the more realistic approach gives it a unique identity. If you’re looking for a movie that leans into grounded horror with clever execution, this one is definitely worth watching.
