	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Unplug this franchise before the virus spreads (...) Susco's plot gets harder to buy by the minute"	NEG
United States	Amy Nicholson Variety	"Susco mostly commits to the premise, creating tension with just the flickering green 'online' of someone connecting to Facebook Messenger on weak wif"	POS
United States	Kimber Myers The Playlist	"This horror film lacks the freshness of its predecessor, but its bleak view on humanity and technology, as well as some truly unsettling ideas and visuals, still set it apart from most of its fellow studio genre fare."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"What’s striking in this movie (...) is how credibly its extreme trolling plays."	POS
United States	Henry Stewart Slant	"The film is preposterously conceived, but Stephen Susco so tightly, excitingly executes it that you hardly notice (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The whole lambs-to-the-slaughter process of 'Unfriended: Dark Web' gets weary after an hour (...) At least 'Unfriended: Dark Web' has a potent theme"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"'Unfriended: Dark Web' turns the internet into a boring boogeyman (...) The scares are ridiculous, the plot makes no sense"	NEG
United States	K. Austin Collins Vanity Fair	"Chilling, brutally satisfying (...) [Susco] finds ways to amp up the terror"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"[It] isn’t always convincing but boasts some inventive suspense (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
