Levan Gabriadze’s on-line-set horror feature CYBERNATURAL has been turning heads since its premiere this past summer at the Fantasia Film Festival. The film was recently picked up by Universal Pictures, who has not only moved the release date, but they’ve re-titled it to UNFRIENDED. Originally planned for an April 10th, 2015 release, UNFRIENDED will now open on April 17, 2015. Other than that, though, not much else to report on at the moment.
The film was produced by Timur Bekmambetov and it goes like this:
While video chatting one night, six high school friends receive a Skype message from a classmate who killed herself exactly one year ago. At first they think it’s a prank, but when the girl starts revealing the friends’ darkest secrets, they realize they are dealing with something from beyong this world, something that wants them dead. Told entirely from a young girl’s computer desktop, UNFRIENDED redefines “found footage” for a new generation of teens.
UNFRIENDED stars Shelley Hennig, Moses Storm, Renee Olstead, Will Peltz, Jacob Wysocki, Courtney Halverson, and Heather Sossaman.
