The upcoming modern-horror film Unfriended has released a new trailer, which you can check out above. An unseen figure begins stalking a group of friends while they are having a group-chat and is seeking vengeance for a shaming video that led to a suicide. 

Unfriended stars Will Peltz, Renee Olstead, and Shelley Hennig. The film was developed and conceived by filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov and produced alongside Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions, the company that brought you the Paranormal Activity, The Purge, and Insidious series.

Official synopsis: One year ago, Laura Barnes (Heather Sossaman) decided to commit suicide due to ridicule received over an embarrassing video of her passed out at a party. Six of her classmates were especially horrible in their treatment of her, as they were unpopular and Laura was the most popular girl in school. Tonight, those same six classmates have decided to get together to talk with one another via Skype, but are ill-prepared when an uninvited seventh person logs onto their Skype chat and shows that they know quite a bit about the prior year's events. The unknown person threatens the group and states that if they log out or stop talking, someone will die. As the chat progresses, the truth about who posted the video begins to emerge and other secrets are revealed.

Unfriended is scheduled to hit theaters in the U.S. on April 17th.

The movie was originally titled Cybernatural when it premiered at the Fantasia Festival in July 2014. They changed the name for the official theater release. What do you think of the trailer and the movie concept?
