MUMBAI: Introducing a new genre of online horror films, Universal Pictures’ India is all set to release Unfriended in India on 1 May, 2015.

Unfriended is a one of its kind horror movie "set" entirely on the characters’ computer screens exploring the ugly side of the online generation. The movie premiered at the Fantasia Festival to rave reviews and audience reactions.

Unfriended is the classic tale of an online prank gone awry. The movie unfolds over a teenager’s computer screen as she and her friends are stalked by an unseen figure who seeks vengeance for a shaming video that led a vicious bully to kill herself a year earlier. 

Starring Shelley Hennig, Moses Jacob Storm, Renee Olstead, Will Peltz, Jacob Wysocki, Courtney Halverson and Heather Sossaman, the movie is conceived by Timur Bekmambetov and directed by Levan Gabriadze.
