Dark Web: Descent Into Hell

They overestimate what the dark web actaully is red rooms rarely happen, script was TERRIBLE could be the actors, the dark web isnt a "scary" Plce where you can get "hacked" its mostly just full of scams and overused ads, they protray the dark web in this movie to be a bad website. Big overatction.

The film is very different and outstanding in its way. First you think what is that but after some time it really gets you in the way it is done. I personally didn't like the ending but the film itself was really good. Highly recommended!

The protagonist, a young youtuber, is presented in this story as a character traumatized by his past who begins to rebuild when he enters the depths of the dark web, who seems to take him on a trip and confront him with his fears and disturbed psyche.

The direction of the film is very good, I loved its aesthetics and narrative, it is a different, magical and modern psychological horror film, I read on movie websites that compared it to "Blackmirror" and "8 mm". I have been working in the audiovisual medium for years and it is very difficult to make independent films in Argentina with low budgets and this film is very good from all its technical and artistic areas.

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.
