Unfriended told a supernatural horror story through a single Skype call, and its sequel went even darker. Here's how to watch the Unfriended movies in order.
Produced by Timur Bekmambetov, Unfriended unfolds in real time on Blaire's laptop as she and her friends video chat on the anniversary of classmate Laura Barns' suicide. When an unknown account joins the call, the group is forced into a deadly game. Its sequel, Unfriended: Dark Web, abandons the ghost story for a grounded techno-thriller about a stolen laptop with links to a sinister online network. Both films pioneered the screenlife horror format.
π Release Order
Release order shows how the series reinvented itself, moving from supernatural revenge to real-world digital terror.
- Unfriended (2014)
- Unfriended: Dark Web (2018)
The two movies are connected by format and theme rather than characters, so the timeline is not a concern. Dark Web is essentially an anthology-style follow-up.
π Story Chronology
With no recurring characters or shared plot, the story chronology simply follows the release order.
- Unfriended (2014)
- Unfriended: Dark Web (2018)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch them in release order, though you can safely skip straight to either film. Unfriended is the better choice if you want a supernatural slasher with teen-movie energy, while Dark Web is a bleaker, more realistic thriller. Notably, Dark Web was released with multiple alternate endings in theaters, so your experience may differ from a friend's. If you enjoy these, the screenlife mysteries Searching and Missing make an excellent follow-up.
