The Deep Web: Murdershow

Not even so bad it's good, it's just bad.

Everything is over exaggerated, I have no idea what they were going for. In parts it's like they were trying to be serious, in others it was as if they said screw it, let's make the most hammed up ridiculous film we can make.

Absolutely nothing sticks and everything stinks.

All but one of the actors were atrocious, seriously, only one of them could actually act.

The dialogue is hilariously bad, not a single conversation in the film would happen in real life.

It's a shame because the premise was decent, by the right people it could have been great, alas it was far from it.

Avoid like the plague.

Low budget Indy's are tricky. Because you are limited by your budget, you need to cut corners. You can't hire A list actors, nor can you purchase the best locations, makeup artists, etc.

These limitations hold you back but you try to over deliver in the places you can.

The late director Dan Zachary didn't deliver the most ground breaking script, there's a second act sag which happens after Ethan learns of his sisters death which slows the movie down, but once the detective work and mystery about what or who the murdershow is begins things start to pick up the pace which leads to a well executed finale.

Dans trio of creepy clown like villains are well thought out and designed. You can even find their masks at your local costume shop if you are lucky.

It is this creativity on display which makes the film fun and unique.

Brendan Fletcher plays shadowmonkey and he steals the show with his over the top antics. And what can I say about Kimi Alexander. She starts off as a victim and quickly turns into a kick ass heroine in the same league as Laurie Strode, or Nancy from A nightmare on elm street. Aiden Howard might be the weakest link in the cast, shining in moments and sometimes not as convincing as one would like.

If you like a quick horror flick on a dark night and can get through that second act sag this movie will deliver for you.

Terrible acting, terrible scenario.

Its obvious that they dont know anything about dark web, cti, osint, malwares etc. You should have hired a real cyber security consultant that specialized in cti, dark web and cybercrime.

Firstly these type of groups cant perform consistent physical activities in areas that includes cameras in all streets/stores. Even the base stations would be enough to track these type of criminals.

Especially in US/Europe this kind of consistent kidnapping, murder and physical stalking is not possible. This type of consistent crime that involves physical and cyber activity can only be possible in decentralized groups(i mean in different countries different killers same streaming platform) or 3rd world countries.

Even the phone scene. How the f this man's phone hacked without any interaction. Its only possible with Pegasus spyware and these type of groups cant have the access to that malware.

While I had never heard about writer and director Dan Zachary's 2023 horror movie "The Deep Web: Murdershow" prior to stumbling upon it, I needed not persuasion to watch it given my love and fascination with all things horror. And without knowing what I was in for here, The Deep Web: Murdershow had every opportunity to entertain and impress me.

Writer Dan Zachary put together a script and storyline that proved to be entertaining. Sure, he was using some stereotypical horror tropes, and it was a bit predictable perhaps, but the movie proved to be enjoyable and entertaining nonetheless.

I didn't know that Brendan Fletcher was in the movie, so that was a nice surprise. Especially since I was just wondering about whether he had been starring in any movies recently the other day. The acting performances in the movie were good.

There were some pretty visceral scenes in the movie, which I found to be a nice surprise. And the effects looked rather good, which added to the overall enjoyment of the movie. "The Deep Web: Murdershow" actually had enough blood and violence in it to keep a seasoned horror veteran such as myself adequately entertained.

"The Deep Web: Murdershow" proved to be a rather enjoyable horror movie, and I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 81 minutes that the movie ran for.

My rating of writer and director Dan Zachary's "The Deep Web: Murdershow" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

There seems to be an effort lately to make these kinds of horror movies a little better again. This is good news because the audience deserves better. Creating creative scenes in low-budget productions can't be easy, and The Deep Web Murdershow dares to try. Is it enough? Of course not. The production, which resembles the horror movies you have watched before, starts very quickly. It slows down after a while, but then the tension increases rapidly. There could have been better acting and better scenes with wild content, but for the genre, it can be watched without getting bored. The ending is more or less predictable and some parts are minus points, but it can be considered a good choice among similar ones.
