However, one of the group - Matias ( Colin Woodell) - reveals that the laptop he’s using is stolen. Taking place entirely on a laptop screen, Unfriended: Dark Web follows a group of friends as they have a virtual game night via Skype. Approaching it from this more societal angle results in his film becoming both a cautionary tale and an interesting foresight into ever-evolving online worlds. In doing so, Susco highlights the possible consequences of misusing the internet. It uses the terror of technology to unnerve its audience. Instead of using any demonic threat, Unfriended: Dark Web grounds itself in reality. Where Levan Gabriadze’s Unfriended was both Screenlife and supernatural horror, Susco’s film can only be classed as the former. Stephen Susco’s Unfriended: Dark Web is a sequel to its predecessor by name only.
