It is impressive, though, the way the movie works to incorporate new online phenomenons, from Bitcoin to swatting. The latter bit, especially, resonates as one of the film’s most unsettling elements, if only because it feels so depressingly possible. Truly, it’s surprising just how soul-crushing Dark Web becomes after luring us in with so many intriguing mysteries, but, hey, this is the internet we’re talking about. Read full review

It’s a patently ludicrous story. The storytelling, though, remains clever and grippingly singular, again finding creative ways to progress the narrative without cheating the locked-vantage format. Read full review

Now, four years later, Blumhouse Productions has released an anthology sequel that follows in its footsteps. The kicker? It’s even better than the first. Read full review

"Dark Web” skates by on saturated nastiness, one terrific kill, and the audience’s engagement in seeing if the filmmakers can pull off the stunt. Barely, but it’s fun to watch them try. Read full review

In Dark Web, the threat is wholly of this world, which makes the sequel feel as though it comes from another universe entirely. It is scary, but it isn’t much fun. Read full review

For all its inventive and impressive technique, the film lacks fun; a lot of folks, myself included, need very little reminding that the Internet is a threat and that terrible men are actively out there abducting and terrorizing girls and women for lulz. Read full review

The scares are ridiculous, the plot makes no sense, and you’ll probably spend the whole running time wishing someone would spill a drink on their keyboard and erase the movie's hard drive. Read full review

Unexpected good twists, well executed and very interesting. I did not know anything about this movie before I found it on Netflix. Pleasantly surprised by this gem

I really liked that part. In the second part, even the idea of the film is more real than in the first part.
This time I liked the acting.Some of the characters are really cute. And the idea of a "DarkNet" is good.

The big problem is that you cannot read the screens properly, and sometimes you have to. I had on my driving glasses, which allow me to see everything clearly at a distance, and although I could make the words out (more or less) on the computer screens, it was too much effort and too much of a distraction. I also go to a small theater where they show more serious films and foreign films, and I think this film would have worked better if shown there. Sadly, the producers had a good idea and fairly good execution, but decided to go after big audiences in big theaters, and this film is not enjoyable without exceptionally good prints and/or projection. You don't have to read every word, but sometimes being able to make out the text is critical.… Expand

I found it better than the previous one but nevertheless towards the end it loses strength.

However, the main character was written in such a way that made it almost unbearable to watch at times. the main character is smart enough to code a program, but makes the most basic mistakes that are to be expected from people who have barely touched a computer in their life. It would've been nicer is the main character was smarter and it would've been a battle of wits, or would he been written as your casual everyday user that too would've made all of it just a better movie with realistic character reactions. It's a fun movie to watch when you're bored, but this movie just throws away all their potential within the first ten minutes of the movie, which is such a shame.… Expand

The format that shouldn’t work still kind of does with this anthology-esque sequel. Being locked to a computer screen creates a sense of unknown and claustrophobia even if it isn’t visually exciting. But the rest...

The characters are annoying and the dialogue cringe inducing at times.The format that shouldn’t work still kind of does with this anthology-esque sequel. Being locked to a computer screen creates a sense of unknown and claustrophobia even if it isn’t visually exciting. But the rest...
