Critical MeMe

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

Unfriended: Dark Web (2018)

I liked the first one pretty well. Since this is basically the same thing, I still liked it well enough even though the novelty is gone. The cast is unknown but still believable and it's not overlong.

There is a major tweak: we're no longer in the realm of the supernatural, but in the very real world of terrible people doing terrible things for entertainment. That changes the vibe from "fun scary movie about something that could never actually happen" to "scary movie that could really heighten my general fear as I move through life." For that, I knock it down a notch.
