After relentless online bullying, Laura Barns killed herself. She went out to the school yard, took a handgun, turned it on herself and that was it. Footage of the suicide remains on YouTube a year later as does the original video that started the whole thing, video of an inebriated Laura, passed out in the dirt with menstrual blood staining her shorts and legs. Tonight, a group of friends that knew Laura have gathered on Skype for a nightly chat. Unfriended is shot entirely from this perspective, capturing the desktop of one of Laura's friends, Blaire (Shelley Hennig), as she chats it up with her boyfriend (Moses Jacob Storm) and a growing group of friends and one unknown visitor. Seen only as an anonymous icon in their Skype chat, it soon becomes evident someone or -- dun, dun, dun -- something has hacked their chat and their malevolent motivations soon become clear.
