Charlotte's Net

After looking into how to go online, a kid and his friend find a series of dark and disturbing visuals about human nature.

This was a rather tough and disturbing genre effort. The very nature of the lips being show, ranging from gang beatdowns, live mutilations and dismemberments, executions, and accidents that reveal brutal and obscene acts from various sources reveal a highly uncomfortable experience. The fact that it's taken from documentary footage leads a realism to the material that goes beyond most genre fare as the detachment that comes about from this approach, especially when it goes beyond the human deaths into highly uncomfortable bodily functions or other antics that include animals at certain points. This creates a generally bleak and disruptive atmosphere that is quite difficult to get through. There are some problems to be had here. The main issue is the whole random nature of what constitutes a storyline here, which doesn't actually have it. There's never a sense of this one grouping the footage together to prove something or generate a plotline, as instead this just goes from a random scene of human brutality to the next one, with the only interruption coming from the extended scenes of the kids going through several conversations about the context of their lives which drains the life from the film completely. This goes on so long that it feels completely pointless to include it with how little it connects to the rest of the film with the context of the clips shown or how enjoyable it comes off. As well, there's also the whole nature of the material here being troubling or unsettling to sit through. Granted, most won't want to undertake this due to the subject matter, but most of those who are willing to do so won't have a lot of time to differentiate what's going on from most of the other clips shown here. The fact that it's mostly the same type of scenes being featured here in terms of the vicious and uncomfortable content eventually becomes monotonous and dull after a while which is due to the highly repetitive style of these scenes regardless of how disturbing and confrontational they are. Combined with the other factors present, these really lower this one significantly.

The positive reviews on here have to be either from the creators of the film or their friends, because this is truthfully the worst film I've ever seen. The acting is abysmal, the characters are unlikeable to the point that the film is unwatchable, and there is fake film grain and effects added to make it look like a found footage film when it is clearly added post production and is filmed on a modern camera. The film contains real gore and shock footage from various shock websites, which I suppose is the selling point here. Even in that regard, the film fails. It's a cheap way to shock the viewer, and the people that are going to watch this movie to see the footage have probably already seen everything in it or similar so I truly don't know who the audience for this is. Truthfully a waste of time, and begs the question if video cameras should be as widely available as they are. Yes, this film is this bad. This film doesn't deserve the amount of time I've spent on this review, and it doesn't deserve your time or money. Truthfully, the filmmakers should be ashamed for making something that is this bad. Boring, annoying, poorly produced, poorly lit, poor sound editing, poor acting, poor me. I would rather get repeatedly kicked in the genitals than watch this again.

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.

This movie is like a mix between a found footage movie and a "mixtape" style movie. It has some truly shocking scenes in it. I would not recommend it for someone who doesn't know what they're getting into. If you know what you might be seeing and are ok with it I would recommend this, especially if your a fan of "disturbing films". The conversations (acting) are quite believable, and the situation they get into is a pretty neat idea. The content in this movie (to me) puts this above your average disturbing film in terms of what your visually seeing. I had to look away a few times myself. I would say it's a solid movie for what it is. I definitely have not forgotten it since my being and tbh I probably am gonna remember this movie for the rest of my life. I think it's well put together, worth a watch forsure. It's sick, and twisted, but that's what makes it so interesting.

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.
