Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Unfriended (2015)

Six friends chatting over skype are annoyed by a random account in their call that they can’t delete. Even worse: the account purports to be controlled by a friend who committed suicide exactly one year ago.

What an effective little movie. It’s just over an hour and takes place completely online -- our view is what the main character is seeing on her computer screen. It could probably be picked apart, but it moves so quickly and the kids are uniformly terrific at being panicked that there’s just not time to complain. I was definitely entertained.
