Most HDCs didnt think much of it; 42% RT. Id watch it if it came to netflix.

Let's try 61% on rt? User ratings for horror movies are always ridiculously low.

I tend to go by user rating because the volume of voting is literally 200 times larger... compared to RTs critics list, which has become more like a list of bloggers. All the more important, for a film like Unfriended, it's not a Nineteen Eighty-four remake, it doesnt require a PhD of film to gauge its intricacies & value; you know what I mean?

I typically don't like the user rating because a lot of people either vote 1/2 or 5 or just don't know how the rating system works and will just put a random vote. I still take the critics percent with a grain of salt. I really only look out of curiosity, but it does help me tell other people if critics liked it or not. It's ultimately your call. You should make your own opinion.

I really hope Netflix gets it. Personally I really would like to see it. Even if it's bad, it's a unique idea on a modern take on real world events with teen suicides and the bulling that leads up to it many times. It's a dark topic, but who doesn't love a good revenge story from beyond the grave.

A majority of the people who didn't like it thought it was bad because none of the characters were very likable, but aren't all teenagers kinda unlikable? I'm just used to stupid teens because, well, I am one. That's why I didn't mind it.

I'm still trying to figure out how Susan and Johnny are siblings in this version...
I predict it'll be another example of why I hate remakes.

Characters being likable is a piss poor excuse. For one it's a revenge story, so WHY would you want to like them? And name one teenager in (for example) the Fri13th films that was likeable. And yet that's a classic. I personally find joy out of watching teens get axed after witnessing how arrogant they are in real life. Some need a machete or bus to the face.
