The program appears to make word-for-word translations of various phrases and is intended for Mathias to communicate with Amaya better. | |

The Heavy: Charon IV, the owner of the laptop, is the most active member of the Circle and the main threat to the protagonists; also the only one who directly interacts with Matias. Charon I given his nickname could be the Big Bad even if we never met him in person. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Charon IV at first appears to be as much of a victim as Matias and his friends, only killing the people selected by the Circle because otherwise they'd kill him. However, this is revealed at the end to be part of the Circle's game, and Charon IV does everything completely willingly. | |

Hostage for MacGuffin | |

Hostage for MacGuffin: The plot seems to start out this way, with the laptop's owner holding the lives of our main characters as hostages to get his highly incriminating property back. It devolves from there, however, as the teen's chat is turned into another video for the sadists to enjoy watching innocent people get tortured. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Possibly even more so than the first movie. The Circle frames Matias and his friends for everything on the laptop, and they stage Damon's death as a suicide after writing a fake confession. Matias's friends are dead, and in one ending, he is left buried alive in a coffin right beneath Amaya, with no way of telling her where he is as he is doomed to suffocate while the Charons tauntingly watch him succumb to his fate. In another, Matias has been run over by a van while Amaya's fate has been left ambiguous after getting jumped at an abandoned warehouse, though it's implied she died or worse. | |

Eviler than Thou: In the first movie the Big Bad was a vengeful ghost of a girl who seeks payback to the cyber bullies who lead her to suicide. Here we have a large group of actual human cyber criminals who deal in snuff movies which prove to be ten times worse than Laura Barnes since they have no mercy for their victims and they're only motivated by sadistic entertainment. | |

Hell Is That Noise | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_61a503a7 | comment |
Hell Is That Noise: Just like in the previous movie, a low continuous droning noise is heard whenever Norah or the Circle are preparing something insidious, with the noise stopping in many cases moments before things go pear-shaped. There is also a distinct "DUNN!" sound that plays when the villains contact Matias and his friends over The River, and corrupted versions of usual DM sounds when they contact Matias over Facebook. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: When Serena is forced to choose between saving her mother or saving Nari, she's too traumatized to choose and doesn't pick either of them. The hackers respond by killing all three of them. | |

Black Dude Dies First | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_9788e2b1 | comment |
Black Dude Dies First: Interesting case. There are a Black girl and an Asian girl among the main cast. The Black girl doesn't die until later, but the Asian is the first one to die and make it clear to the rest of the cast that their situation is serious. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The way Lexx, the first victim, is killed. They stage it to look like a suicide, recorded off the cellphone of a random person passing by. The ending reveals that the whole thing was a setup to frame Matias (or anyone who took the abandoned laptop at the internet cafe) and his friends for the horrible snuff crimes they committed and make it look like they all committed suicide out of guilt. | |

Recorded Spliced Conversation: The Charons take snippets from AJ's web videos and splice them together to create a message saying "I am sick of the corruption. I'm going to take my store of firearms and explosives to the mall and have some fun." They then call 911 and play this message. | |

The Password Is Always "Swordfish" | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_a3509d95 | comment |
The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The laptop's password is a single question mark, which is also the listed name of the user, which is how Matias easily breaks into it. Justified in that Charon IV wants the intended victim to be able to access the laptop. In the same vein, despite being a criminal who is savvy enough to access the reaches of the dark web, Charon IV's profiles are set up for an automatic login; but this too facilitates Matias getting drawn deeper into the game. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The Big Bad of the first film was a vengeful ghost who'd been Driven to Suicide, the main villain of this film is a psychopathic, but seemingly mundane (if having considerable resources) Darkweb criminal who is after the Main Characters to cover his tracks and to sate his own sadism. | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Or a lack of one. At the beginning of the movie, Amaya calls out Matias for not learning ASL better. This comes back in one of the endings where Matias is buried alive and with the Circle interfering with his normal text and visual communications, his lack of knowledge means he can't tell Amaya that he's right beneath her feet. | |

For the Evulz: While The Charons make a quite large sum of money from their snuff movies, they also enjoy a lot what they do. The money seems just like a bonus to them. When Matias asks why are they doing this they reply "It's game night". | |

Too Dumb to Live: The owner of a laptop with videos of enough crimes to put him away for several hundred life sentences without parole (and possibly the death penalty depending on what jurisdiction he ends up in) just forgets it in a public cyber cafe. It's later revealed that this was done deliberately so the owner and the hackers he works with could frame Matias and his friends for all the murders the owner committed. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Subverted. The Circle's methods are mundane, but one could be forgiven for thinking they had preternatural abilities at their disposal, given the Ominous Visual Glitch that accompanies their appearances, the way they seem to appear out of thin air in some videos, and the supernatural premise of the previous film. | |

Never Suicide | |
| Unfriended: Dark Web / int_cfbd1467 | comment |
Never Suicide: Lexx is thrown off of a building by one of the Circle in a staged suicide. Damon is hanged in his room by one of the hackers, shortly after said hacker writes a fake suicide note explaining why he "killed himself." Nari's death is a bit more complex. The Circle member attacks her on the subway platform and in the ensuing struggle they both tumble onto the tracks and get run over by the incoming train. The audience knows it was a murder, however, a casual observer or investigator reviewing the incident who doesn't know of the Circle's existence might be forgiven for thinking the Circle member was just a good samaritan trying to stop Nari from jumping onto the tracks and became an unfortunate casualty trying to foil her suicide bid. Adding to the confusion, it's likely the Circle member didn't expect her to put up a resistance which would lead to their death as well. | |
