Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "Unfriended: Dark Web 2018"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The story begins with a software programmer named Matias,
who is guessing the password for the laptop that he takes home from a cyber cafe lost and found
After several attempts of speculating the correct password,
the device surprisingly gets unlocked, and reveals its features
He decides to take home the laptop, because he wants a faster device to build a software project
With the newly acquired device,
he begins working with real-time American sign language translation software called "Papaya,"
which allows the user to convert voice into sign language
He formulates the said application out of his desire,
to communicate with her deaf girlfriend, Amaya
However, an expected outcome emerges,
when he attempts to present the papaya application to his deaf girlfriend
The deaf girlfriend becomes discouraged, and irritated during their video chat through Facebook
She believes that the software developed is not enough for Matias to understand her
Furthermore, she feels dissatisfied,
because it seems Matias never adheres to his sign language class
The video chat ends, when the device gets an error and works again after a few seconds
Hoping to recuperate the bond, Matias sends multiple messages, but receives no replies and answers
When Matias logs out of his Facebook account,
he notices that the previous owner's log-ins are still saved on the laptop
Out of curiosity, he unhesitatingly clicks "enter", and opens the account
He then discovers naughty messages from several people,
addressed to the actual owner named Norah C IV
His inquiry to the owner's Facebook gets interrupted, when his friends call him via Skype
Meanwhile, Matias then responds to the Skype video call with his friends named AJ, Damon, Lex;
and the queer couple, Serena and Nari
They decide to play a game of Cards Against Humanity remotely,
while he tries to get back in touch with his girlfriend
He also shares with everyone that he bought a new laptop for a very affordable price
In the middle of the video call with his friends, the device keeps crashing again,
and begins receiving notifications from Facebook about messages for the actual owner
The other friend then suggests cleaning his hard drive;
and Matias realizes that the hard drive is full
Not long after, he begins browsing the files and video footage of random people
He witnesses videos of people performing strange things, such as singing, dancing, and sleeping
Afterward, the queer couple bursts the silence, when they announce that they are now engaged
The whole gang is so thrilled for them, but their smiles suddenly shift into tears
One in this couple declares that her mom is on life support due to progressing brain cancer
A few moments later, Matias watches a video that depicts moments of togetherness with his girlfriend
He then attempts to chat with his girlfriend, and begs her to talk to him
The tension between Matias and Amaya almost begins to lighten,
since they start to have a video call again
As they start communicating,
Matias becomes distracted by a pop-up message and notification on the laptop
The girlfriend notices that Matias remains unfocused during the video chat,
leading her to end the call again
Driven by such peculiarity of the notification, Matias navigates,
and figures out a message sent to the previous owner's Facebook account
The actual owner interestingly uses another account named Erica,
to chat with the account saved in the laptop
As we can remember earlier,
Matias ticks the button "enter" after seeing the previous owner's log-ins saved on the computer,
allowing him to see the laptop owner's account
The actual owner chats, and angrily demands to return the device
Matias plans to place the device back in the cybercafe with this request,
until he sees another message addressed to the owner
He witnesses statements about payment from a user named Charon 68
He further explores the features with eagerness and confusion,
crossing a mysterious portal, "The River"
Matias speaks of his puzzlement with his group of friends,
and begins sharing his screen about the file
They convince Matias to uncover and see the file
One of the friends finally recognizes that Matias lands on a website,
and crosses a mysterious net known as the dark web
As explained by AJ, the dark web is a site that is accessible through a unique engine
This black market contains pornography, gruesome assassination videos,
and private information for fraud purposes
Right away, a message board suddenly floats on the screen; and several usernames start to appear
The names listed on the board all begin with Charon, followed by a number
With all of this bewilderment, his friend questions him about the place where he bought the laptop
Matias, who knows that he cannot lie anymore, chooses to confess the truth instead
He declares that he did not buy the laptop, but took it from a cyber cafe
Shortly, one of his friends again realizes that "Norah C" is "Charon 4" when spelled backward
We can validly infer that the actual owner Norah C, is one of the users in the Dark Web,
which is Charon number 4
Also, the mysterious website consists of users named Charons
Next, they investigate the laptop's features through screen sharing,
since they are still in a Skype video call
They decide to see glimpses of the videos
They realize that these are videos of strangers secretly
recorded through their CCTV and computer cameras
This is because hackers can activate the cameras of their phones, laptops,
and computers to get a video of their chosen suspects
As they further investigate, they want Matias to click the link, which is entitled "Account"
Suddenly, they are mesmerized when they find that $10 million worth of Bitcoin is in there
Seconds later, a random Charon sends a message through the message board
The Charon asks if the payment goes through; and mentions the trephination procedure
They then seek the meaning of trephination,
and get disturbed after learning that it refers to drilling a hole in someone’s' skull
They stop communicating with this Charon, as the thing gets cruel and violent
Confused, the group continuously examines files in the device,
until a series of videos gets unfolded
They see videos of random girls who were tortured
In the first video, they watch a girl dying of thirst,
and another girl about to be poured with corrosive acid in the second;
followed by a girl being locked in the bucket
They also see the last video of a girl sleeping in her room,
while a kidnapper enters and looks at the camera
When Matias starts searching the address from the video,
he figures out that the girl missing is Erica
As we can notice in the beginning, Charon 4 uses Erica's account to reach out to Matias
It appears that Erica is the supposedly next victim
Meanwhile, while they are all horrified, Matias receives a video call from his girlfriend
However, the girlfriend is in the shower;
so the girlfriend's roommate goes to the camera to talk to him
Suddenly, the screen goes black for a moment
but when it returns to normal, a hooded man arises
The strange man strangles the girlfriend's roommate to death,
and brings the dead body into the closet
The hooded man declares himself to be Charon 4, the actual owner of the laptop
He demands Matias to return the laptop immediately
Given the conditions that they should not call the police and disconnect from the Skype video call,
Matias needs to adhere, if he wants to see the girlfriend alive
Matias also discerns that the Charons can hear and see everything they do on the laptop,
as it is connected to the darknet
Matias notices one of his friends is trying to call the police because of the videos they watched
For the sake of his girlfriend's safety,
he lies and temporarily pretends it is all part of the game he is developing
All of his friends become upset and relieved at the same time
His one friend, Lex, leaves to answer a phone call
A short while after, Matias persuades his deaf girlfriend to go to his place,
as this is the primary condition of the Charon
With his soaring emotion, Matias bursts into tears,
as he recalls those challenges in learning sign language
He expresses his affection for his girlfriend by recalibrating some memories from the past
When they finally settle their issues, the deaf girlfriend agrees to go to Matias' place
To ensure that Charon 4 will comply with the said agreement,
Matias signs up for a Blockchain account, and transfers the cryptocurrency amount into his profile
He says he will return the money and laptop,
in exchange for his girlfriend Amaya and Erica's safety
Then, Matias receives messages from the hackers again about the money
The Charons recognize that the money has been drained from the account
They pull Matias's screen into the River Portal, and ask for the code if he is the Charon 4
In just a few seconds, Charon 4 reveals his face, and talks to Matias
Charon 4 quickly gives the code to Matias to save both of them
If the Charons find out about the lost laptop,
they will kill Matias for being involved and Charon 4 for not adhering to what they paid
Matias types the code, and explains why the money is transferred to Ethereum
When one of the friends finds news about a girl named Erica missing,
the friends start to question Matias again
At this time, the Charons begin to interrupt their Skype video call, and start to attack them
They exhibit a video showing their one friend, Lex, standing on top of an apartment building roof
A random Charon appears behind Lex, and pushes her off the ledge
After seeing their friend die, their blood runs cold
The girlfriend calls again; and Matias firmly suggests staying on the call while on her way
The atmosphere gets more intense when one of the friends is about to call the police
When the girlfriend loses her signal, Matias screams at the top of his lungs,
and tells his friends that the entire thing is not a game, but real
Knowing that they are all in danger, everyone loses their mind, and is all scared as hell
When the deaf girlfriend's signal comes back, they pretend that nothing happened
They act like they are still playing a game
When the signal gets interrupted again,
they take this chance to trace the places where the laptop has been,
so that they will find Erica
With all these potential dangers, one of their friends, Nari,
decides to go to the subway to get Matias' girlfriend
The Charons join their video call again, and show AJ's Youtube videos in just a blink of an eye
The Charons splice and edit his videos, to make it sound like he is planning a crime
These merciless hackers play the edited sound to the 9 1 1 operator
With this frame-up, A SWAT team storms AJ's house, and demands him to surrender
As he gets closer to the door, the Charons also hack his computer,
and play a loud sound effect of a gunshot
This sound causes the police to assume he is armed, and thus shoot him multiple times
Later, the Charons depict a video of their next victim, the couple Nari, and Serena
They showcase a video of the couple,
talking about their engagement to their friends and Serena's mom
The Charons also display camera footage of Nari at the subway,
and Serena's mother on life support at the hospital
They force Serena into a game, wherein she needs to choose between her mother and Nari
Serena cries her eyes out, and begs them to take her instead
When the countdown stops, the Charons pull her mom off life support,
push Nari in front of a train, and eventually kill Serena in her house
At this point, only Damon and Matias left on the Skype video call
The deaf girlfriend finally reaches her initial destination, and is ready to take another route
Matias decides to leave the house to get and save his girlfriend
Since Damon is the only person on Skype now, he then starts talking to Charons,
and declares he has been recording everything for the police to find
However, These hackers again shortly open Photoshop,
and edit Matias's face over Charon 4 in Erica's footage
Another Charon then sends Erica into Matias's closet to frame him for this kidnap
Next, Matias is forcefully added to the call from his bike, and stops on the street
To his horror, Damon explains that the Charons had intended for Matias to bring home the bait laptop,
so it looks like he and his friends initiated the previous crimes
With this, the Charons will avoid any charges of wrongdoings, and continue to hide in plain sight
Moments later, another random Charon pulls Damon in by a rope around his neck,
and kills him by hanging in the closet door
They would love to erase the signs; so they incorporate a suicide note
Matias then gets a call from his girlfriend, asking where he is
Unfortunately, Matias realizes that the Charons also hack his messages to make Amaya go to the factory
Surprisingly, Matias glimpses death, when a random Charon attacks his girlfriend in the factory
Having these sorrowful moments,
Matias reflects on why the Charons made all the killings to his friends
The Charons respond to a video of him earlier, saying, "game night
" Through this, we can infer that it is just for the entertainment of the members named Charons
The Charons also launch a poll to decide if they will kill Matias or not
Later, the missing girl named Erica wakes up in Matias's apartment,
and begs for help from the camera
She notices a cork in her forehead, and sees a hole in her skull from trephination,
which leads her to freak out
On the other hand,the poll finishes with the Charons dictating the last breath of Matias
The movie ends, when a random Charon runs over Matias in a large van in the middle of the road
With their job successfully done, and their crimes pinned on Matias and friends
the Charons unleash their masks, and reveal their faces at each scene
It is then unveiled in the movie that the audience's point of view
is actually from a Charon's computer
