The simulated desktop of Blaire Lily is in fact a simulation of the desktop of Nelson Greaves, the film's writer who had to erase all majorly displayed folders on the outlook of My Documents and his desktop shortcuts apart from the free Chess, Dashboard and Weather Guide. The barely visible folders scattered over the left side of the screen are all created photo folders pertaining to Blaire's iPhone and Camera images of her, Mitch, Jess, Adam, Ken and even Laura Barns.

When Blaire opens up her browser to look up police radio codes, the link is purple while the rest are blue, meaning that she's already been to the web link before in this browser cache cycle, but it is unlikely she had any reason to ever do that before. See more »

I have to say this movie reminded me of plenty other films such as Sorority Row, Tamara, Cry Wolf or the most recent remake of Carrie and yet Unfriended held its' own pretty damn good. When I heard how the film was going to be shot I was a little skeptical as to whether or not it would work or just be really boring.
Typically in these type of supernatural films there's a lot of wandering slowly down dark halls with figures appearing in the shadows so I was skeptical but this was really creative. I think the storyline was a pretty basic ghost revenge story and yet with a modern twist. The internet offers a new form of bullying that unfortunately is all too real and this movie shows the consequences of such actions to the extent of driving someone to commit suicide.
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on this the characters were interesting but it really got annoying listening to them argue like little elementary kids. Some of it was okay for humorous reasons but after awhile it was annoying. I do also think it would've been better with adults instead of teenagers simply because if this Laura ghost had gone after them years later they would have had more reason to have forgotten the details of "the video" and the "incident".
Which in that case I think the incident would've had to have been something more serious than it was such as her being raped and being shamed for it and made fun of afterward. That really would've given the story more depth but it was a good scary movie that for me would've been more intense if I hadn't seen it in theaters. The audience I guess found the character's fighting hilarious and couldn't take the movie seriously after awhile which made it hard to enjoy the scares. My advice see it alone to really see how you feel about it.
