From the makers of Unfriended , this thriller unravels in real-time, entirely on a computer screen. A warning for the digital age.” Fanboys had a strong sense that the pic which marked the feature directorial debut of Grudge U.S. franchise scribe Susco was in fact an Unfriended sequel, and their hunches were correct with Blumhouse unveiling the title as Unfriended: Dark Web . Producer Jason Blum revealed the title before the crowd during the pic’s introduction at the Alamo Ritz tonight.
