Darknet

Darknet- a Canadian horror TV series... is one of the best horrors I've seen in a long time. I'm surprised to see only two reviews here! If you're like me, bored with all the horror movies we've been getting lately, this will be a diamond in a pile of mud. It completely goes a different route than what you're used to seeing. Truly chilling and intriguing. I wouldn't suggest for the paranoid prone folks or those with weak stomaches, ha ha. I found it impossible to stop after each episode. I love the gory, puzzling, creepy, thrill ride that I got from watching. Impatiently waiting for season two! If you're a fan of the horror genre...don't pass this one up!

If you're a fan of horror or thrillers it's hard to find anything out there that is truly scary anymore. Most modern horror movies and TV shows rely on cheap tricks and clichés for scares, rendering thrillers not so thrilling. In that sense, Darknet is like a breath of fetid air - and I mean that as a compliment. This show is truly creepy. It plays off our more modern concerns - no ghosts or demons - of fear of self and fear of the other, and it gets us where we can still be gotten - online and on camera. Paranoid delusions come to life. Internet trolls take action in the RW. You can't face reality, but you can post it online!

In the first three episodes of season one the stories intersect in unusual ways. Episodes four and five largely stick with one main character, but the last episode ties these characters together through one final devastating and intensely scary moment. That moment is a breath held, waiting for season two!

Afterward you'll be checking all the locks on your windows and clearing your internet history. You'll take the money and run, unplug your GPS and never, ever follow random clues, no matter how sexy they are, to their final destination.

Darknet will make you believe in the horror/thriller genre again.

I love this show so much I've watched the first season so many times sad when it was taken off Netflix we need a season two!

This is one of the best series I've seen in a long time when it comes to horror. Even more fascinating is the fact that there are two tales per episode. What's even more amazing is that throughout every tale, you'll notice small things that connect to previous tales from previous episodes.

The quality is very high on these and it feels like a higher-budget V/H/S. Every tale is well acted, well executed, and possesses clever and puzzling twists that you may or may not figure out by the end. That's what keeps the viewer entangled in each tale. The mystery, suspense, and puzzling factors are palpable.

It's a mixed bag really in terms of what you get. You may find a gory piece, a thriller, a mystery, or anything in between.

Very pleasant and very much worth the time to sit through. On the plus side, it's on Netflix. Go check it out! You will not be disappointed in the least.

I was really impressed with this tech-inspired reboot of classic horror anthologies like the "Tales From the Crypt" and "Creepy" comic books, older British films like "Dead of Night" and "Asylum," Stephen King's "Creepshow" homage, and the sadly cancelled "Masters of Horror" and "Fear Itself" TV shows.

Produced on a modest budget for Canadian television, the "Darknet" series is definitely in the same modern-tech vein as the "V/H/S" movies, but with more precise direction, striking photography, razor-sharp editing, and a deliciously macabre sense of humor. (And don't worry, you "found footage" haters -- the low-tech filming is limited to select glimpses of security cams, web sites, lap tops, and smartphones.) Like the wonderful "Trick 'r Treat" (and "Pulp Fiction") these fiendishly gruesome tales jump around in time and criss-cross over each other (some more successfully than others) -- and the end result is a must-see series for horror fans. It's extremely clever, surprisingly suspenseful, full of mind-bending twists, and often dementedly funny.

Watch it with the lights out!
