Ushering
in a new era of horror, Universal Pictures’ Unfriended unfolds over a teenager’s computer screen as she and her
friends are stalked by an unseen figure who seeks vengeance for a shaming video
that led a vicious bully to kill herself a year earlier.
After Universal executives saw a test screening of Unfriended terrify a test
audience, the studio acquired the thriller that was developed and conceived by
visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). Directed by Levan Gabriadze, Unfriended is written by Nelson Greaves and produced
by Bekmambetov and Greaves, as well as Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions (Ouija and Paranormal Activity, The Purge and Insidious series).
