Dark Web: Descent Into Hell (2021) User Reviews

like Maxwell Smart used to say "Missed by that much"

The film doesn't suck, but it's not "good" either. I say this because there is/was so much potential to make this a pretty good B flick but it was all lost by poor direction.

Too many extensive unnecessary scenes, not enough time spent on putting the story together cohesively. If more time was spent in "the drawing room" and putting a better storyboard together this one would be a keeper.

I appreciated the use of today's tech to make the film visually enjoyable - it's not lacking in production quality just lacked direction.

Why is everyone giving this extreme ratings?

[Sonnengott · 5/10 · 25 January 2022]

Why is everyone here either giving it 1 or 10 stars? This isn't complete bullcrap, but it's also clearly not genius and is VERY cheaply produced. However, it does manage to be an okay indie movie with twists and it might even have rewatch value. It tries hard and manages to end up somewhere in the middle of Neil Breen and David Lynch. Okay B-Movie with many really stupid parts, but a decent effort for the means given.

Its so bad

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 dark web and purgatory. A very good movie!

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.

It's not for everyone...

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.

I love this movie

[fanhorrorcinema · 10/10 · 15 October 2021]

I love this movie. It is low budget, but it has a different look, very creative, ingenious and the story catches you until the end. Not everyone has a million dollars to make their movies;)

Excellent

[revolucionmagenta · 10/10 · 25 October 2021]

I really enjoy this movie. The rhythm and the tension that creates. Kept me in suspense until the end. The environment it generates is really suffocating.

Very good

[peliculasargentinas · 9/10 · 6 October 2021]

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.

Something different

[request-7 · 9/10 · 25 January 2022]

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!

Muy buena

[terrorargentino · 9/10 · 10 October 2021]

No es solo una película mas de la dark web, tiene una trama profunda y bien contada, los traumas y secretos del protagonista van saliendo a la luz a medida que se adentra en cada nivel de la web oscura. La estética de la película es fantástica, acompaña la historia.

Good story

[cineproducciones · 10/10 · 6 October 2021]

I like the genre and the story of the film. Something different. The epecuen images are great.

Very good movie

[carobarbie · 10/10 · 6 October 2021]

I loved the film, the Direction, the Script, the montage, the animations and the photo, I read in a note that a film critic said that the audiovisual narrative reminded him of some chapters of "Black Mirror". It is a very good independent film, I congratulate the Director and technical team of the production company Black mandala.
