History WMG / Unfriended

[[WMG: The original ending to this film was for Blaire to find out her friends are alive & live with the consequences of her horrible actions.]]

[[WMG: [[spoiler: [[FinalGirl Blaire]] was the only one who was actually killed.]]]]

[[WMG: Ken froze up because he saw Laura's severed head]]

[[WMG: Laura was trying to save them.]]

[[WMG: "Billie" is the name of Laura's uncle.]]

[[WMG: Alternatively, "Billie" is the name of Laura's boyfriend.]]

[[WMG: There will be a sequel.]]

[[WMG: There was no [[spoiler:ghost]]]]

[[WMG: The whole movie was a SecretTestOfCharacter for Blaire]]

[[WMG: Blaire was the real bully all along.]]
It's suggested that Laura was a bully before the video that made her commit suicide was taken. But there is no solid proof of this, just the opinions of Blaire's friends. What if Laura was never a bully. One thing the film makes clear, is that teenagers are quick to spread false rumors and back stab each other. What if Blaire spread the rumors about Laura being a bully to turn people against her - ruin her reputation, since she was popular and well liked - something Blaire seems to be during the film. Blaire has proven to be a ManipulativeBastard that had a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity lot of people fooled.]] Blaire claims the two grew apart, but it could have just as easily been the case of Blaire, being jealous of Laura's popularity and removing the competition. This would explain why the ghost of Laura is so vengeful. She kills herself, not because of the backlash of the video, but because her childhood friend betrays her to take her place.

[[WMG: Blaire was drunk the night the she made the video.]]

[[WMG: Val [[spoiler: is not dead]]]]
Out of all characters besides [[spoiler: Blaire]], Val is the only one to not have an irrefutable [[spoiler: on-screen death]]. Other characters are shown to [[spoiler: have their throat torn by the blender's blades, forced to shoot themselves in the head, have a burning hair straightener forced down their throat, and a knife stabbed in their eye. All of them are shown explicitly on camera, except Val, who is suspected to have been forced to drink bleach long before the other friends find her staring at the camera in a frozen state, and suddenly collapsing to the floor, dead.]]

[[spoiler: However, there's no clear evidence that Val was forced to drink bleach due to no evidence of vomiting blood anywhere on the floor or traces of blood from her mouth. Also, considering that Laura is capable of manipulating phone calls and video camera streams, it's possible that Laura tricked other friends into believing that Val is dead by giving out a fake police code that addresses the event as a suicide.]]

[[spoiler: Considering that Val was not originally invited to the chat stream, it's likely that Laura killing Val haven't crossed her mind as of yet, and simply faked her 'death' to begin her twisted revenge plan against the others. Also, considering that Laura had also bullied Val according to the video, it's also possible that she's saving Val for later, after she have dealt with Blaire and her friends who had betrayed her in the worst way possible.]]

[[WMG: "billie227" wasn't really Laura]]
Seeing as how the movie is getting a sequel, it's possible that they may attempt to turn it into an anthology series of sorts, with every movie being told from a computer screen, but with different elements (sort of like the ''Film/FinalDestination'' movies; essentially the same plot every time, while still changing it up enough to keep fans coming back). Assuming they again go for the "vengeful ghost" plot, who's to say that it's not the exact same ghost? Maybe "Laura" was actually just a random spirit (or even a [[HollywoodHacking hacker]]) who just pretended to be her in order to MindRape the group ForTheEvulz. In the next movie, it'll be the same antagonist, but (s)he will be pretending to be a different person tormenting a different group of people.

[[WMG: Laura was possessed by some sort of demon, which caused her to kill herself and used her as a vessel to torment others]]
She had to have gained those supernatural powers somehow. The thing haunting the characters is like the Buffyverse vampires: it has her memories and personality, it can act like her but in the end, it isn't her. She also could have made a pact with something to get revenge. The way she holds the gun when she kills herself could have been the demon at work, since it was very odd.

[[WMG: The movie's SpaceWhaleAesop of an ending is a metaphor for a different sort of aesop.]]

** This is also supported by the song that Laura plays after Blaire's cheating comes to light, How You Lie Lie Lie. If you look up the lyrics, there's one part that says, 'If you'd stop lying, everything could be OK.' This could be Laura's way of telling Blair to come clean.
