For those of you who don’t know (and I didn’t until I was forced to watch the trailer), “Unfriended” is a paranormal horror movie about the ghost of a girl who commits suicide after being cyberbullied. (basically.)
The trailer is framed initially with web searches of “Laura Barns” with various autocompletes, starting with “passed out video”, moving on to “bullied”, “suicide”, and finally “revenge”.
The trailer includes a non-graphic snapchat of what’s implied to be her suicide, as well as sudden screams and a jump scare.
And it’s one of the short ones, so you can’t skip it.
If you’re prone to anxiety attacks and/or are triggered by this kind of content, close the video if the ad starts with a screen googling “Laura Barns”.
Please spread this for people who could be upset by it similarly or even worse than I was.
also the full length trailer appears to be kind of rapey so if yr like, in a movie theater tryna watch a movie thats actually good, u can probably just close ur eyes bc theyre dubbing over audio from other scenes for those bits
people who make horror movies hate women and that is what is truly horrifying
As a feminist and a horror fan: Please more horror by women, I’ve found by mostly sticking to lady horror writers I find stuff that’s actually scary and not the same bro-y, rape-y, shit over and over as is common in so much dude horror.
