Alien at the Movies

Suicide, black mirrors, black wasps... Oh my!

It's a more dynamic version of the dreadfully awful 2015 "Unfriended" for those social media fanatics who are looking for some teenage horror thrills. This was a 2016 German supernatural-psychological horror film that was ironically originally titled "Unfriended". Popular college girl Laura befriends a peculiar new girl Marina because she had no on-line friends; only to regret it later & ends up unfriending her. From there, it's race for Laura to save her friends & family from some horrible deaths. It's about par for the course for this type of low budget thrill & scare with a classic horror conclusion.

Alien gives it 2½ "predictable countdown" stars out of 4.
