A situation that's not altogether too unfamiliar, a high school girl named Laura Barnes commits suicide after being bullied over a humiliating video that was posted online, showing her drunk at a party. On the anniversary of her death, a group of her fellow classmates who were among the main bullies get together for a group video webchat. However, their conversation is quickly interrupted by an anonymous hacker named billie227, who will apparently stop at nothing to find out who posted the Laura Barnes video. Fear is instantly spread through the group when billie227 starts to turn everyone against each other, while methodically picking them off one by one. Is it a phantom? Laura's ghost? Or has Laura got some very sinister fans out there?
A twisted take on the consequences of cyberbulling, 'Unfriended' (previously entitled Cybernatural) is a revenge thriller based around the very real world of social media. Directed by Levan Gabriadze ('Lucky Trouble'), it is the feature film debut of screenwriter Nelson Greaves and has already won two awards at the Fantasia Film Festival. Having been picked up by Universal on seeing the profoundly terrified screen-tested audience, 'Unfriended' is scheduled to hit theaters on April 17th 2015.
