It is impressive, though, the way the movie works to incorporate new online phenomenons, from Bitcoin to swatting. The latter bit, especially, resonates as one of the film’s most unsettling elements, if only because it feels so depressingly possible. Truly, it’s surprising just how soul-crushing Dark Web becomes after luring us in with so many intriguing mysteries, but, hey, this is the internet we’re talking about.
The film is preposterously conceived, but writer-director Stephen Susco so tightly, excitingly executes it that you hardly notice.

The script lacks bite, save some wry meta-commentary on the movie’s existence (including a passing reference to “horror transmedia”). Nevertheless, Susco follows the well-worn path of using the horror/thriller genre to explore the eerie ambiguities of modern times.
"Dark Web” skates by on saturated nastiness, one terrific kill, and the audience’s engagement in seeing if the filmmakers can pull off the stunt. Barely, but it’s fun to watch them try.
It’s a wonder the horror masters at Blumhouse didn’t send him back for one last rewrite over this ending.
Unfriended: Dark Web takes all the most engaging and horrifying techno-horror qualities from Unfriended and wipes the cache disappointingly clean.
The scares are ridiculous, the plot makes no sense, and you’ll probably spend the whole running time wishing someone would spill a drink on their keyboard and erase the movie's hard drive.
I really liked that part. In the second part, even the idea of the film is more real than in the first part.
This time I liked the acting.Some of the characters are really cute. And the idea of a "DarkNet" is good.

Unfriended: Dark Web is the follow-up to 2014's Unfriended and tells the story of Matias, a man who finds a laptop without an owner and starts receiving strange messages from anonymous people. When the real owner of the laptop contacts Matias, he reveals that he is part of a dangerous cyber hacking group who are willing to kill to get their property back. Matias and his friends are drawn into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the group holds his deaf girlfriend, Amaya, as an unwitting hostage.
The movie explores the darker side of the internet, with the threat being rooted in the real world. The characters are confined to their own rooms, appearing on a group Skype call, which adds to the realism of the story. The performances are solid and the initial mystery element is strong, but the rushed and generic ending undermines the good work established in the movie. Although it's not entirely scary, the realism of the story can be unsettling. Overall, it's an improvement over the first Unfriended movie, but the final act falls short.
_______________________________________
Unfriended: Dark Web es la continuación de Unfriended de 2014 y cuenta la historia de Matías, un hombre que encuentra una computadora portátil sin dueño y comienza a recibir mensajes extraños de personas anónimas. Cuando el verdadero propietario de la computadora portátil contacta a Matías, le revela que es parte de un peligroso grupo de piratas cibernéticos que está dispuesto a matar para recuperar su propiedad. Matías y sus amigos se ven envueltos en un juego mortal del gato y el ratón mientras el grupo retiene a su novia sorda, Amaya, como rehén involuntario.
La película explora el lado más oscuro de Internet, con la amenaza arraigada en el mundo real. Los personajes están confinados en sus propias habitaciones y aparecen en una llamada grupal de Skype, lo que aumenta el realismo de la historia. Las actuaciones son sólidas y el elemento de misterio inicial es fuerte, pero el final apresurado y genérico socava el buen trabajo establecido en la película. Aunque no es del todo aterrador, el realismo de la historia puede ser inquietante. En general, es una mejora con respecto a la primera película de Unfriended, pero el acto final se queda corto.

"Dude, this is dark web!"
One of the most boring horror movies I've seen in awhile. There's no suspense, no atmosphere, no thrills, and nothing to hold my interest. All the characters are either annoying or unlikable, but it's much worst when you're struck with them.
Honestly, if I wanted to watch 93 minutes of blank pieces of wood staring into webcams, then I will just go on Zoom.

Why? What's the point of having another Unfriended movie when the first one is already a huge borefest from my point of view? Like the first one I just watched, I could literally care less about that worthless plot (it's even dumber than the first one too) and its jump scares are more to bring antagonizing laughs than surprising scares. If we keep getting more Unfriended movies that just don't even make the slightest sense, I know who to blame for this unstoppable line of stupid horror sequels.
