“Unfriended,” the latest horror-thriller movie, premiered April 17.

The film was directed by Levan Gabriadze and is rated R due to graphics, slight sexual innuendo, and language.

“Unfriended” is about a girl named Laura Barns (Heather Sossaman) who commits suicide after embarrassing and reputation-damaging videos of her are leaked online.

On the one-year anniversary of her suicide, Laura’s friends, Blaire Lily (Shelley Hennig), Mitch Roussel (Moses Jacob Storm), Adam Sewell (Will Peltz), Jess Felton (Renee Olstead), and Ken Smith (Jacob Wysocki), are video chatting when they notice a random stranger that cannot be removed from the conversation.

After multiple failed attempts to remove said person, they write it off as a glitch and continue on in their conversation.

Not long after their video conversation, Blaire begins to receive messages on Facebook from Laura’s profile and is disgusted that someone would hack into a dead girl’s account.

The group of friends then adds in their “frenemy” Val Rommel (Courtney Halverson) to see if she knows anything about Laura’s account being hacked.

Soon after Val is added into the conversation, the friends realize that the random stranger in their Skype chat is not a glitch at all, and the stranger begins to terrorize the group of friends.

Although a lot of people had mixed reviews about this movie, considering it was about a supernatural being, I really enjoyed the movie.

There was actually one time I had to step out of the theater because I had the chills so bad.

But why did the movie scare me so badly?

I admit that, to me, the majority of movies based on supernatural beings are poorly done and quite stupid, but this one hit me in a much different way, one that most other horror movies could not.

This was not because of the idea of a supernatural being terrorizing my life, but because of the fact that something like this could actually happen.

And no, I do not mean that someone or something supernatural is going to come take over your technology and terrorize you and your friends.

What I do mean is that in our generation, with all of our social networks, webcams, and technology, there are many ways for people to hack our accounts and cameras and just be in our lives without us even knowing.

I do not think the point of this movie was to scare teenagers about ghosts coming back to haunt and kill us. But I do, however, think this movie had much deeper and more serious themes behind it.

The first thing I took from this movie was that things that are put on the Internet stay on the Internet.

The things you do and say, people you interact with, and pictures you post never go away. They are there to stay. Even after you delete them, they are still there. Anyone can access anything that was once on the Internet.

The final thing I took from this movie was that technology, while it can help, can also hurt in life.

I know it is scary to think about, but it is happening to people everywhere, and it is something people need to know about.

Technology allows the world to be at your fingertips, but it also allows for you to be at someone else’s fingertips.

At any moment, people could be watching us through our webcams, stalking our Facebook pages, or listening in on our conversations and reading our texts.

With all that set aside, “Unfriended” was an amazing movie and I recommend it for anyone who enjoys thrillers and suspense more than horror.

I also recommend it for anyone who is technologically savvy just so they can see the reality behind their tablets and webcams.
