Reviews

Critics have had mixed feelings about Dark Web, with many highlighting its intriguing premise but critiquing its execution. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 3.7/10, indicating that the film has not resonated with a broad audience. One review on Rotten Tomatoes noted, 'While the concept is undeniably creepy, the film tends to stumble in its pacing and character development, often leading to moments of confusion rather than suspense.' Additionally, Metacritic users have echoed similar sentiments, calling it 'a disjointed experience that fails to capitalize on its chilling premise.' Some reviewers appreciate Tristan Risk's performance, stating, 'Risk brings a level of intensity that is commendable, yet even her talents can't salvage the film's overall incoherence.' Despite its flaws, some viewers found value in its thought-provoking themes about the nature of the dark web, leading to a conclusion that 'though it may not be perfect, it provides a chilling glimpse into a world many fear to explore.' Ultimately, 'Dark Web' sparks conversation about internet safety and the potential horrors that lurk in the shadows of online anonymity.
