I didn't mean that wasn't an online abuse, that was indeed an online abuse but they could show a better example of it, particularly regarding the event that lead to her 'online abuse' & the subsequent suicide incident.
When a horror story/film centers around a bullied/victimized character turned vengeful ghost/killer, I think at some point it'd better to provide a better background check/story about that character with better example of turn of events that leads to his/her online abuse...you can make it sympathetic or pure evil by dealing with or revealing his/her deepest secret or fear in a way (where at one point the other characters make fun of it, resulting the abuse) so that we can care or feel for that character. In
Unfriended, based on very little info that they revealed, we found the character of Laura Barns was as 'shitty' as her so called friends who later die one by one and we didn't care for any of them actually. Now, this sort of shitty characters may be common for a slasher movie but sometimes at least we get lucky enough to see some gruesome/creative or creepy kills even in those average or below average slasher flicks; but here in
Unfriended even the kills were uninteresting or at times stupid.
