The following is an actual text chat between friends up on social media websites called “Facebook”, and “Skype”. This horrific event has been approved to be shared to the public by the authorities. Which ones specifically? Just, the authorities.
[The following is taken from Facebook]
Cesar: “Let’s watch Unfriended. Who knows you might enjoy it you said!”
Matoi: “The premise hasn’t been done to death in the horror genre.”
Cesar: “It’s no different than text chatting on literally any website with someone. Worse of all, I had to pay actual money for what was basically “Reaction: The Feature Length Film”. What a waste of day off. Thanks allot.”
Izanagi: “Hello suckas! That movie was eh.”
Cesar: “Eh? You’re telling me a whole film of people simply looking at their laptop camera classifies as an “eh” film for you?”
Izanagi: “It was realistic…”
Cesar: “Realistic? You’re telling me a teenager who grew up with the internet, and social media doesn’t know what a troll is? Not only that, but you expect me to me to believe this whole thing was recorded, and every one of the victims parents was apparently okay with this being shown to the public. Something like this isn’t public domain, you need people consent or they could sue you. You’re telling me the parents wouldn’t sue the film distributors for releasing this! There wasn’t even a text box that stated “We were granted the parents consent to show this”. That alone guarantees failure before starting the film since the number one thing 98% of found footage movies get wrong is simple logic!”
Matoi: “You’re thinking too much on that. What really bothers me is the fact despite YouTube strict regulations they apparently allowed a video where someone is being bullied to be up. Even though their policy strictly claims they do not approve of harrassments. The first sentence on their harassment, and cyberbullying policy says “We want you to use YouTube without fear of being subjected to malicious harassment”. If this was posted on a website like 4chan where any kind of content can be posted, or even the Deep Web I would have bought it. Nope, that didn’t happen so it invalidated the entire movie. That’s not even taking into account the title tells someone to kill themself.”
Izanagi: “Strict? YouTube is the website where you can find videos of people dying. So that’s far from its biggest issue. For the sake of this discussion that ruined the illusion for you. You don’t need to bring up the gap in logic by applying real world knowledge, streaming site policies, or even the law into it, but who stands around in a chat room quietly waiting for their one friend to finish writing to someone. I know what I would do, talk to one of the possibly 4 other people in that chat room!”
Cesar: “Seriously, the standards for horror films have fallen. I mean seriously, if the film was found footage why was the sound edited whenever Blaire played music. Or that one time the sound in the background was edited out so we could hear typing.”
Izanagi: “What did you expect? Need I remind you the awfulness that was M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Visit” even without my bet being made. People consider that a good movie by Shyamalan’s standard. If that’s a phrase that will get thrown around it’s no better than saying this movie was good by bad movie standards.”
Matoi: “Can we talk about the part where Cesar wouldn’t stop complaining through the entire thing. You were starting to get more annoying than the characters in the movie.”
Cesar: “Well when a fat guy takes the time to show us his blender of course I’m going to complain. Like I’m really going to question this guy has a blender in his house. It was unnecessary to deliberately show us he has a blender. That would like me showing you my dick to establish I have one, and then get killed by later on.”
Matoi: “No microscope would be able to see that tiny thing.”
Izanagi: “OHHHHHHHHH! You got burned!”
Cesar: “Walked right into that one.”
Matoi: “So you’re going to write about this garbage thing.”
Cesar: “You kidding me. It’s another awful found footage movie. They’re a dime a dozen. What am I going to say about this one that I can’t say for the majority of them. Bad acting, too polish on the production side to actually believe regular people recorded this, abusing jump scares, having no idea of proper cinematography in this genre, having credit sequences crediting actors playing these “real” people, and so much more.”
Izanagi: “Oh? Someone called the Phantom wants to join our chat?”
Matoi: “Well, clearly deny them access, and block them.”
Izanagi: “I’ll get on that.”
Cesar: “Even this basic action the film got incorrectly. Oh, also they could simply ignore the fake account, and go on with their chat. If not, simply tell everyone else to meet somewhere in person. Shut off the internet box in your house. You know, leave the laptop unattended if you believe it’s possessed. They could have done anything to survive, and the ghost didn’t have any power to force them to stay either in that one location. Don’t you find it funny the chick who committed suicide profile wasn’t already a memorial before the movie started?”
Matoi: “Says the guy who wrote a slightly positive review for Sharknado. Eh, still it’s a good point. At least in Sharknado, the titled tells you straight out the kind of logic it’ll have. In this, if I’m expected to believe this could happen to us it needed more researched to be done.”
Izanagi: “They won’t leave me alone, and the Phantom user might have multiple accounts. So why don’t we just text, or video chat on another site.”
During this time it’s unknown to account what happened to the three, but it is confirmed that a minute after that message the three went on Skype.
[The following is taken from Skype]
Cesar: “So…”
Sex heard could heard in the background.
Matoi: “Cesar, are you watching porn?”
Cesar: “Uh no. I don’t watch anime when you’re around so what makes you think I’ll put on porn?”
Izanagi: “It’s me. I was watching an episode of Impractical Jokers.”
Cesar: “Sure you were.”
Izanagi: “No seriously I was!”
Horses could heard in the background.
Matoi: “The more you know. Ewww!”
Cesar: “Turned that off.”
Izanagi: “Fine. There you happy.”
Cesar: “Why yes I am.”
Izanagi: “Another unrealistic thing about the movie is Skype doesn’t record video chats. So how did the filmmakers get the footage? It can’t be found footage, if, you know, IT WAS NEVER RECORDED IN THE FIRST! Oh gosh. You infected with your cynical disease. Now how am I going to enjoy anything ever again?”
Matoi: “Stop exaggerating Izanagi. We all know you would have to be decontaminated if you’re infected with whatever Cesar was diagnose with. Any thoughts on the acting.”
Cesar: “The acting was nonexistent. They were given badly written characters to portray, and some awful dialogue to say. Oh, my favorite part of the film was the unrealistic moment when the power goes out in the of teens house, yet his internet is fine.”
Matoi: “Ghost Internet, a SyFy channel original movie.”
Cesar: “lol. I would so see that. Would be a much better movie than this.”
Izanagi: “What about everything else?”
Cesar: “I mean what else is there to talk about.”
Matoi: “Well there was Blaire who went crazy when her boyfriend didn’t reply to her immediately. Seriously, wait a bit for a reply.”
Izanagi: “Oh man that was boring. It’s one thing to actually do it, but seeing someone type a Facebook message in complete silence is not what I would call a good movie”
Matoi: “I seriously hate jump scares. I hate it more when it’s the only thing a horror movie tries to scare you with.”
Izanagi: “You know what my favorite part was? The fact the Ghost actually repositioned the webcams to show whenever she kills someone. How considerate of a vengeful spirit.”
Cesar: “So it unanimous among us this movie sucked. The writing is all over the place, the acting is nonexistent, relies only on jump scares to, and virtually nothing about it is redeemable.”
Izanagi: “I would say it’s unredeemable. It didn’t drag out, and the premise makes it reasonable for it to be called a “Found Footage” movie even if the writing is weak. It did something different in a tired genre. That was enough for me.”
Matoi: “Horny teenagers getting killed in a horror movie isn’t new.”
It’s at this very moment the power went out, and this is where it is presumed the three of these individuals made contact with aliens.
[The following is taken from a Facebook text chat]
Izanagi: “I still can’t feel my face! Seriously, they asked so many questions in 12 hours.”
Cesar: “You are lucky your rich okay. My boss, the first thing he does when I tell him I spend my day being questioned by the police is yell at me for not going to work. I seriously got no idea how I put up with him.”
Matoi: “12 hours? I was out in half an hour. Afterwards I went on a date.”
Izanagi: “With a cop?”
Matoi: “Nah! Some guy from my dorms. He wouldn’t let me talk so it ended quickly.”
Cesar: “Well, I’m just happy all three of us turned out fine. ”
Izanagi: “Later guys!”
Matoi: “You’re leaving already? Then what was the point of you joining this text chat.”
Izanagi has left the chat room
Cesar: “It’s just us now. Oh man. I do not look forward to tomorrow.”
Matoi: “How come?”
Cesar: “I’m suppose to meet some filmmakers I’ve never heard off. They want to turn our story into a found footage horror film.”
Matoi: “Really? Who’s playing me?”
Cesar: “Um, I think I overheard Dakota Johnson. I think she was in Fifty Shades of Grey, and Selena Gomez when walking out. I got some paper they gave me with potential casting.”
Matoi: “I guess I would be okay with Dakota Johnson, but not Selena Gomez.”
Cesar: “The part of Izanagi has been offered to Simon Yam, and Jacky Wu Jing!”
Matoi: “Who are they?”
Cesar: “Simon Yam is only one of the most acclaimed actor from Hong Kong, and Jacky Wu Jing is, well, a martial artist with some famous fight scenes under his belt!”
Matoi: “Well that’s lame. Why do I get the lame actors.”
Cesar: “You? What about me? The producers are contacting Justin Bieber, Kellen Lutz, and Lucas Cruikshank. The guy who played Fred on YouTube to play me. That is just terrible. No way am I’m giving them the rights to tell this story.”
Matoi: “Yeah, don’t give them permission.”
Cesar: “So, before I end the chat.”
Matoi: “No.”
Cesar: “Shot down again. This will be another chapter in the Biography of Heartbreak.”
Matoi: “Haha. You’re so lame.”
Cesar: “Oh well. Remember, stay awesome!”
Matoi: “You…you’re okay I guess. Bye!”
Matoi has left the chat room. Cesar has logged out of Facebook. The next day Cesar went back to talk to the film producers, but no one has seen since that day. Scary.
Public Disclosure: As a spokesperson for the authority, I, writer Nelson Greaves, and my colleague, writer/director Levan Gabriadze of Unfriended encourage all readers to not seek out the actual story of what transpire today. It was very disturbing, and very true what happened. No matter what, with caution, the internet can be a wonderful place. So please be careful, and do not ask Cesar, or his friends what happened as they’ll only feed you lies. Now, in the future please look forward to our next feature film titled Followed. It deals with the harassment of being followed on Twitter, and from our extensive research is the number one public stalking site on the internet. Very terrifying indeed when the whole world is given the power to stalk you. Also, currently in production there’s “Lying Faces”. A gut wrenching documentary about false friendships. You won’t believe profiles with insane lies in the film. We met a person who had around 500 friends on Facebook, but actually only knew around 30 of them. The truth of Facebook will be reveal to all. Finally, we’re proud to announce “PornHub: The Movie” which is our most accurate film to date. We had our entire production do research on this site to discover that all videoes on the site are actually recorded sex tape from real couples, even the animated ones! We were disturbed to see hundred of videos of mothers having sex with their children, people being held prisoners in sadistic dungeons, Angels having sex with humans, and so many others things. The world is a sick place, and we must inform the people.
