Described as “one of the most unapologetically evil films Blumhouse has ever made,” Unfriended: Dark Web will, to be frank, scare the shit out of you. Produced by Jason Blum’s production house, the same company behind Get Out, this film explores evil in the most honest and insidiously effective way for our internet age: through our laptops.

Serving as a stand-alone sequel to 2014’s Unfriended, the film follows Matias, a twenty-something who finds a cache of secret files on the laptop he unearthed in a lost-and-found bin. He shares it with his friends, and the group discovers disturbing things in the files. They then realize that the laptop’s previous owner has been watching them and will go to terrifying lengths to get the computer back and protect the Dark Web.

The most unnerving part of Unfriended: Dark Web is that every aspect of the film could happen in real life, an especially frightening theme in our current climate of paranoia about online security. The filmmakers met with Dark Web experts to make sure everything that happens on screen is as horrifyingly real as possible. Written and directed by Stephen Susco, Unfriended: Dark Web looks at what happens when technology and its darkest depths go very, very wrong. Check it out in theaters now.
