Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Aubrey Hackett
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Freeman
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This series is six-episodes long and though similar, each episode offers something new. The defining characteristic of the series is the intensity - the story is certain to hold your attention and tickle your nerves scene after scene.The first episode features a woman who is concerned that there is someone else in her apartment; a killer operating near the underpass and a troubled man going through a divorce tempted by a trail of clues. The stories are all interconnected, some scenes non-linear. In most instances, the viewer is sure to be surprised and thrilled by the revelations. There is a consistent creepy atmosphere throughout, with erotic tension and mild gore making an appearance every once in a while. The cinematography and music went very well together with a tightly- knit plot each time.My only complain was with episode four, which seemed uninteresting and unwatchable, so uncharacteristic and out-of-place.The series ends with a well-placed scene that ties it all together, just as Darknet binds the several characters and stories like a loose, disturbing thread.Only the most unimaginative viewers would dislike this series. Watch it while you can. Or I'll hack you to death.

I honestly never heard of this show was just browsing Netflix being bored. I only read what it was about and glanced over the actors/actresses, nobody big but I've seen a few of them in other shows.I'm glad I found the series. It is a mixture of oddity/thriller and I guess a little horror, light gore horror. The acting was pretty good and the plot for each episode was each entertaining. It is an interesting show that kept me watching all the season episodes in one sitting. After it was over I actually wanted more and hope for a season 2. I don't watch too many non mainstream series nor do I write many reviews, but I hope this catches on and if it does I hope the writers can keep it interesting as it already has.

If you've been getting tired of the zombie flicks and other cliché horror movies that's been churning out there, then you will be refreshingly surprised at this creepy horror series. Each episode is only around 25 minutes long, so you will fly through these, especially since they are original horror that will keep you interested till the last minute. My only complaint is that there are not enough episodes and they are too short! If you are a fan of the VHS movies, then you will definitely like Darknet, and it will certainly get you your VHS fix! I hope this series expands on its episode numbers per season because this is one show that absolutely deserves to stick around for a long time.

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!
