Charlotte's Net

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.

Charlottes net follows the story of two friends who stumble onto the dark web. The movie makes you feel like it can't get any more intense and then shatters those expectations. I found myself watching parts through my fingers trying to process the raw emotion, violence, and terror.

This movie is not for the faint of heart to say the least, but definitely something to throw on the bucket list for must see snuff films if that's your thing.

This film is a mix of found footage and real gore clips. I like the idea and I can't think of any film that has shown this before.

Even if this idea offers something new in the extreme horror genre, the implementation is unfortunately just boring. The self-made found footage scenes offer no suspense and apart from a few funny allusions in the dialogues, these scenes have no relevance. The real gore clips, which are played between the found footage sequences, are more or less the "classics" that everyone who is interested in the topic has already seen and will certainly not be shocked by it anymore. I think it would have helped the film a lot if the director James Dobbins Jones had used lesser known clips.

Ultimately, this film will disappoint anyone who has been into underground/extreme horror for a while and someone who only watches mainstream horror won't stumble across Charlotte's Net. Maybe some teens who are fans of the absolutely ridiculous "Disturbing Movie Iceberg" or "Plagued Moth" will find this absurdly boring movie enjoyable.

Because I liked the idea, still 3/10.

Literally perfectly crafted. We'll acted and we'll done for a first time director. Added so much horror elements as well as internet culture.

One of the most shocking films I have seen since A Serbian Film.

Bloody and gorey but just so perfectly edited.

A must watch for ANY extreme horror movie fan!

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!
