The average horror movie is rarely blessed with a complex storyline. Unfriended takes this plot simplicity to an extreme. Since the movie-going experience in this case is all about the gimmick, the narrative is almost nonexistent. In a strange ...

If you’re familiar with the 2015 indie horror film Unfriended, you’ll have a good idea what to expect from the sequel, Dark Web. Using the same approach of making the entire film into a real-time clone of the laptop screen of the main char...

The temptation is to think this: Just what we need - another PG-13 remake of an Asian horror film. These come along so frequently that they have become more like punch lines to bad jokes than serious cinematic endeavors. Not so fast, though. The U...
