This movie is a very weird one to review. Its quality throughout its duration ranges from awful to stupid fun. It is shot and lit relatively well, however, it seems that for as much effort they put into the camera and lighting work, a fraction of it was put into the script, plot, and finding competent actors.

The main character is Tubi's attempt to have a relatable millennial protagonist, but my friends and I all ended up hating his, true crime podcaster persona. Also, the movie tries to make him queer-coded with his family shunning him for a reason we are not privy to, however, it is very clear that the writers are insinuating that he is gay. But in the end, they pulled their punches having him and the final girl become a couple. This might've been Tubi stepping in saying they didn't want a queer main character.

Tubi clearly spent more money on this original than they do on most other ones (see "Shark side of the moon") however their understanding of the dark web is just laughably bad. You could watch 5 SomeOrdinayGamers videos and have a better understanding of it than the writers do.

By the way, the girl killer is on a dark website called "readit" in one scene which I thought was stupidly funny.

This is another one of those "internet bad" movies where movie studios will use the boogeyman of the deep web in order to get unsuspecting people to view the movie.

While not as blatantly exploitative as movies like Unfriended: Dark Web and Megan is Missing, a lot of this movie's "horror" relies on people not having a basic understanding of how the deep web works.

Overall, a fun, stupid movie that you shouldn't show to your cinema studies friends, but a decent one to show to your bad movie friends.

This movie was undoubtedly one of the biggest wastes of time I have ever seen. And the worst part is, it doesn't even reach ninety minutes but by god, does it feel like forever. From terrible acting, dumb stories, and laughably bad effects and props, this movie would be a really fun watch for those who want to watch a Neil Breen movie with absolutely none of the charm. My friends and I found this movie on Tubi and were expecting to find a "so bad it's funny" modern horror movie, I mean just look at the poster, but instead what we got was a Chat GPT generated script and terrible camera and lighting work. Fun drinking game, take a shot every time one of the characters is just blue because of the lighting or you hear an echo, or you see a character's harsh shadow because they messed up the lighting. To the people who made this movie, I was genuinely surprised that this cost 20 thousand dollars because as far as I can tell, that money went nowhere. If you had asked me what I thought they had spent on this movie, I would probably say around 3 thousand dollars, and that's pushing it. Just because you have the financial ability to make a movie, doesn't mean you should. Write a book instead.
