So far, tech spooling has been stereotyped with horror and the supernatural.
Can latest entry bring something new?
David (John Cho) and his daughter Margot, struggle on after wife/mother's death from cancer and become increasingly distant.
Awaking to several missed calls, David attempts to contact Margot but to avail.
David learns from piano instructor that Margot cancelled lessons 6 months ago and discovers $2500 meant for plink plonking has been transferred into a now deleted Venmo account.
He reports her missing and Detective Vick (Debra Messing) is assigned to the case.
David discovers Margot regularly chatted with user fish_and_chips on her YouTube account and visited Barbosa Lake.
Vehicle is dragged from the drink, with traces of blood found inside and cash still sealed inside envelope.
Text messages exchanged between Margot and Peter convinces David that sibling has been having it away with Margot. In truth, the only thing daughter sucked belonging to pot happy brother was one of his joints.
Vick reveals that before turning the gun on himself, former convict Randy Cartoff sexually assaulted and killed Margot.
It seems tragic case is solved, but...
Face of model matching fish_and_chips' profile picture is in fact fake, as lady in question knows less than jack shit.
Stumbling across photo of Vick with Cartoff rings alarm bells, and phone call leads to her arrest.
Vick spills can of guilty beans that fish_and_chips is actually her son Robert.
Claiming it was for her mother's cancer treatment, Robert conned her into transferring him $2500. However, guilt persuaded disturbed ass to pay back said amount back in cash.
One confused night at the lake, he accidentally pushed her into a ravine. Knowing Robert wouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance of surviving prison, Vick shoved car over road's edge to protect unstable son and before killing him, forced convict into making a false confession.
Police rescue Margot and some time later, her application to major in piano is pending.
Refreshing
Familiar yes, but this is exactly what genre needed.
Brilliantly constructed, well acted, impressively written and sporadically moving, Aneesh Chaganty's thrilling debut ranks as one of the best.
Music and sound are extremely effective and twists continue to throw us off the scent until its satisfying conclusion.
Oh, very early on, Laura Barns is briefly seen as a trending topic on Margot's Facebook page.
For those who don't know, that's a reference to the original Unfriended.
