I stumbled across this film being that I normally like to watch films within this type of realm when it centers on stories of the dark web, and the trouble it brings (think back to the 2018 film Dark Web: Unfriended, or the 2013 film The Den, both for which were actually disturbing).
I think anyone choosing to watch this should go into it simply focusing on the disturbing elements of the film, including the history. Set aside your expectations, distractions, and any short-attention span to fully focus on the film for what it is. Yes, it is not perfect but it does keep you curious, somewhat guessing to hold your attention until a certain point in the film, then falls flat.
The ending of the film was really disappointing for me because it was questionably incomplete. I think you may be disappointed with the ending, too, but most of the film's odd and disturbing elements that unfold with each level is meant to be visually weird. It's meant to be abnormal, odd. It shows you just how weird the dark web is in layers, and how those consumed in it find strange things fascinating.
The film touches on strange fetishes paired with isolation, depression, and paranoia with the lead character. The film will lose its audience by the end, which likely results in why ratings are mediocre. It had the potential to be better, much better, but it's not entirely bad.
