Charlotte's Net

Someone who follows me on social media messaged me about this film and I was immediately intrigued, so I bought a copy and sat down and watched it.

Not only did the director have a good story to go along with it, but the shocking reality of the real gore and acting made it perfect. He uses reality to scare you and I applaud him for that. If you feel like you can stomach it do it!

Pretty scary. I first heard about this on the Overlook Hour Podcast and watched a private screener. It's uncomfortable to watch, so only approach if you want to go deep into the dark.

This movie is like a mix between a found footage movie and a "mixtape" style movie. It has some truly shocking scenes in it. I would not recommend it for someone who doesn't know what they're getting into. If you know what you might be seeing and are ok with it I would recommend this, especially if your a fan of "disturbing films". The conversations (acting) are quite believable, and the situation they get into is a pretty neat idea. The content in this movie (to me) puts this above your average disturbing film in terms of what your visually seeing. I had to look away a few times myself. I would say it's a solid movie for what it is. I definitely have not forgotten it since my being and tbh I probably am gonna remember this movie for the rest of my life. I think it's well put together, worth a watch forsure. It's sick, and twisted, but that's what makes it so interesting.

The positive reviews on here have to be either from the creators of the film or their friends, because this is truthfully the worst film I've ever seen. The acting is abysmal, the characters are unlikeable to the point that the film is unwatchable, and there is fake film grain and effects added to make it look like a found footage film when it is clearly added post production and is filmed on a modern camera. The film contains real gore and shock footage from various shock websites, which I suppose is the selling point here. Even in that regard, the film fails. It's a cheap way to shock the viewer, and the people that are going to watch this movie to see the footage have probably already seen everything in it or similar so I truly don't know who the audience for this is. Truthfully a waste of time, and begs the question if video cameras should be as widely available as they are. Yes, this film is this bad. This film doesn't deserve the amount of time I've spent on this review, and it doesn't deserve your time or money. Truthfully, the filmmakers should be ashamed for making something that is this bad. Boring, annoying, poorly produced, poorly lit, poor sound editing, poor acting, poor me. I would rather get repeatedly kicked in the genitals than watch this again.

So I was lucky enough to see this gem at a festival and I've been into found footage films but there's only been a few that have taken my liking. Oh boy this was something different, usually deaths in these types of films are pretty tame but this movie has some real and I mean real savage kills in it!!!

Charlotte's Net reminded me of rockstar games ps2 classic manhunt with its similar uncomfortable atmosphere, brutality and music. The 90's vhs feel helped with that specific overall setting especially.

The story itself was nothing special and that's what I usually expect with these kind of films but the characters where entertaining, I enjoyed the childishness between the two. Reminded myself of me and my friends back in the day.

Overall if you liked cannibal Holocaust, manhunt or faces of death this film will be right up your ally!

The reason I'm giving this a 10/10 is because this movie is definitely going to become a cult classic in the years to come, it's one of a kind!!!
