Darknet

Darknet- a Canadian horror TV series... is one of the best horrors I've seen in a long time. I'm surprised to see only two reviews here! If you're like me, bored with all the horror movies we've been getting lately, this will be a diamond in a pile of mud. It completely goes a different route than what you're used to seeing. Truly chilling and intriguing. I wouldn't suggest for the paranoid prone folks or those with weak stomaches, ha ha. I found it impossible to stop after each episode. I love the gory, puzzling, creepy, thrill ride that I got from watching. Impatiently waiting for season two! If you're a fan of the horror genre...don't pass this one up!

It's so refreshing to be taken off-guard by horror. All too often you feel like you've seen the same old tired formula in front of your eyes before.

Once in a while though, we're caught off- guard, which is exactly why we're here. Horror fans watch horror for the tension and the exhilaration of the unknown, and all too often we get an anticlimax of something we've seen before. Darknet, on the other hand, delivers where we need it to. When you think you know what you're getting you're smacked in the face and reminded that you aren't the most twisted individual out there.

Grade-A storytelling, with a fresh perspective, Darknet is a pleasant and welcome surprise for horror fans that focuses on narrative and tension. The best thing since sliced Achilles.

I love this show so much I've watched the first season so many times sad when it was taken off Netflix we need a season two!

If you've been getting tired of the zombie flicks and other cliché horror movies that's been churning out there, then you will be refreshingly surprised at this creepy horror series. Each episode is only around 25 minutes long, so you will fly through these, especially since they are original horror that will keep you interested till the last minute. My only complaint is that there are not enough episodes and they are too short! If you are a fan of the VHS movies, then you will definitely like Darknet, and it will certainly get you your VHS fix! I hope this series expands on its episode numbers per season because this is one show that absolutely deserves to stick around for a long time.

If you're a fan of horror or thrillers it's hard to find anything out there that is truly scary anymore. Most modern horror movies and TV shows rely on cheap tricks and clichés for scares, rendering thrillers not so thrilling. In that sense, Darknet is like a breath of fetid air - and I mean that as a compliment. This show is truly creepy. It plays off our more modern concerns - no ghosts or demons - of fear of self and fear of the other, and it gets us where we can still be gotten - online and on camera. Paranoid delusions come to life. Internet trolls take action in the RW. You can't face reality, but you can post it online!

In the first three episodes of season one the stories intersect in unusual ways. Episodes four and five largely stick with one main character, but the last episode ties these characters together through one final devastating and intensely scary moment. That moment is a breath held, waiting for season two!

Afterward you'll be checking all the locks on your windows and clearing your internet history. You'll take the money and run, unplug your GPS and never, ever follow random clues, no matter how sexy they are, to their final destination.

Darknet will make you believe in the horror/thriller genre again.
