History YMMV / Unfriended

** Both Ken's and especially Adam's are pretty funny. Ken's suicide by blender goes by pretty quick and you only get snippets so it's not too bad. But Adam turning his gun toward his face while screaming "no no no!" then pulling the trigger really takes the narm cake.

** Speaking of the trailer, this:
-->"Can you help us?"\\
'''''[[BigNo "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"]]'''''
** Judging from reactions at the cinema, quite a few people found the death scenes funny.
** For that matter, [[spoiler:Val's sudden death and rather unconvincing yelp as she falls to the floor.]]
** Laura shooting herself at arm's length.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** Among all the people Blaire finds on Chatroulette, one woman believes her, calls the police, and tries to calm down the girl. [[spoiler:It's ultimately useless]], but it's good to see that there are also good people on the Internet.
** Laura's memorialized Facebook account reveals she once jumped into a lake to pull a young boy out of the water, saving him from drowning. A surprisingly heroic action from an AlphaBitch who would later become a vengeful spirit.
** It's easy to miss due to the chaos that ensues, but after Laura reveals that Adam [[spoiler:tried to trade Jess's life for everyone else's]], Mitch calls him a piece of shit and says that [[spoiler:Laura offered him the same deal and he refused to take it]].

** There's just as many people who enjoyed the movie for its [[{{Anvilicious}} concept]] and presentation as those who felt the [[WhatAnIdiot actions of]] [[BitchInSheepsClothing the main characters]] and acting helped to greatly undermine [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot a genuinely interesting plot]].

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Virtually all of the characters are thoroughly horrible people, even the ones who initially come off as comparatively sympathetic: Laura, who commits suicide after being bullied, is said to have been a bully herself when she was alive, Jess, who made a false rumor about Blaire and desecrated Laura's grave, Mitch (arguably the least reprehensible out of everyone), who kissed Laura behind Blaire's back, sold out his best friend Adam to the police for pot and may or may not have uploaded the video, and Ken, who otherwise seems fairly blameless in the actual situation, nevertheless is shown to be a {{Jerkass}} like the rest of his friends and says Laura deserved everything that happened to her. More than one critic said they found the film's depiction of the [[TeensAreMonsters amorality of American Gen-Z teenagers more frightening than the actual premise]]. Indeed, some who viewed the film have stated that they [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing found themselves cheering for the monster (Laura's ghost in this instance) because the main characters are such irredeemable jerks,]] [[TakeThatScrappy it made it easy for the audience to wish for their demise.]]

* UnintentionallySympathetic / UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Laura is an AlphaBitch who tormented everyone in or out of her inner circle in some way or another and continues to do so from beyond the grave. She's also a victim of relentless cyberbullying following an [[BringMeMyBrownPants embarassing]] incident while partying that went viral. Then we find out that her friends aka her victims [[spoiler: weren't very nice people themselves]], even before said incident.
* WhatAnIdiot: Blaire, Blaire, ''[[TheScrappy Blaire]]''. The fact that she has the computer literacy of a 90-year-old is really just the tip of the iceberg. Special mention goes to the scene where she tries to get help for Jess not by calling the police, or any other family member or friend, or even use some other form of social media, but by using ''Chatroulette'', of all things. It takes several tries for her to find someone who doesn't write off her begs for help as a joke, but she eventually does find one woman who tries to call the cops for Jess[[spoiler:, although she wasn't fast enough]]. In fairness to Blaire, their last attempt to call 911 didn't go particularly well. [[spoiler:WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg mentions he likes to think [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation the woman was messing with Blaire]], as he puts it: "considering [her] performance wasn't all that convincing."]]

* RootingForTheEmpire: Our villain is the spirit of an AlphaBitch who was tormented by cyberbullying and committed suicide. Our "heroes" are not very good people. [[spoiler:Blaire betrayed her former best friend and boyfriend; Jess spread a false rumor about Blaire, stole $800 from Adam, and desecrated Laura's grave; Adam slept with his best friend's girlfriend twice, is implied to have roofied a girl and forced her to get an abortion, and tried to trade his implied girlfriend Jess's life for his own; Mitch sold out his friend to the police for pot; Val cruelly rejected an apology from Laura and continued tormenting her, and Ken openly said that Laura deserved the bullying. All of them openly show no remorse for how they treated her]]. By the end of the movie, you're begging Laura to kill them.

** To a lesser extent, Jess and Mitch (who was arguably the least reprehensible out of everyone), who have more apparent sympathetic qualities to them when compared to [[AlphaBitch Val]], [[FatBastard Ken]], [[{{Jerkass}} Adam]], and [[BitchInSheepsClothing Blaire]], and undergo more of a BreakTheCutie experience prior to their deaths.

-->'''Laura:''' Looks like she finally... [[FunWithAcronyms STFU]]

** Leading on with that, [[spoiler:there are some who felt that Laura ''shouldn't'' have killed Blaire, and that it would be more fitting that Blaire would left live with the same consequences that led Laura to her own suicide.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The dark and brooding "Ghost in My Head" by Scissor Haus plays in the start of the end credits.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The film never misses a chance to drive in the fact that cyberbullying is not acceptable behavior, nor is it at all [[spoiler:alright to [[SuicideDare drive someone to suicide.]]]] Considering it all takes place on the internet (featuring heavily social media sites like Facebook and Youtube where cyberbullying typically occurs), this is very thematically appropriate for the story.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter pretty much sums it up in this [[http://mrenter.deviantart.com/journal/My-Top-10-Least-Favorite-Movies-629584313 DeviantART blog]].

*** Was Laura actually trying to save [[spoiler:Blaire? Consider how the "Don't respond to messages from dead people" post kept showing up Blaire's searches even when not relevant. Was Laura just as bound by the rules of her existence as her victims and while she gleefully slaughtered everyone else she tried again and again to get Blaire to confess, showing her how, so that she might be spared? Blaire never did, and hence Laura was forced to kill her by the rules of her existence.]]

* DancingBear: Many critics of the film has classified the style of FoundFootage it employs as such, calling it a gimmick that is supposed to distract from a rather sub-par plot.

** Among all the people Blaire finds on Chatroulette, one woman believes her, calls the police and tries to calm down the girl. [[spoiler:It's ultimately useless]], but it's good to see that there are also good people on the Internet.

** Jess was originally going to die by being flung around her room, with the whole thing being represented by [[PaintingTheMedium her avatar on her Facebook page getting the same treatment]], including blood effects everywhere, smashing through a glass panel, [[AnArmAndALeg losing a leg and being forced to saw her own hand off]]. It sounds terrifying in concept, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uY86Y_Bk_o the resulting scene looks like a bad Flash animation]] in execution. Which is probably why it was cut; it's unintentionally funny instead of scary.

* SpecialEffectFailure: [[spoiler:If you look closely during the moment where Blaire's laptop is pushed down, you can see a figure that looks ''nothing'' like Laura Barns', which is also given away per the apparel.]]

** Jess's [[spoiler:death was originally going to show her being flung around her room to her death, with the whole thing being represented by [[PaintingTheMedium her avatar on her Facebook page gorily having the same treatment]]. This was dropped presumably because [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uY86Y_Bk_o the resulting scene looks like something straight out of Newgrounds]].]]

** And while one would think that the whole story could be avoided if [[IdiotPlot the characters just shut off their laptops]], Laura prevents the teens from doing ''that'' too, saying if they do that they'll be killed.

* BetterOnDVD: A variant. The film works ''far'' better when viewed on a computer screen than on a TV or a cinema screen, [[NothingIsScarier especially if the computer used is a Mac.]]
