Most people take that to mean highlighting one horror movie a day, but here at FSR, we\u2019ve taken that up a spooky notch or nine by celebrating each day with a top ten list. This online article about the best internet horror <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> is part of our ongoing series <strong>31 Days of Horror Lists.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The internet is ubiquitous. It intersects with nearly every aspect of our lives and imposes on the world around us. Needless to say, it\u2019s a fruitful avenue for horror potential. From supernatural cyber shenanigans to human viciousness unleashed through anonymity, there\u2019s a lot of cruelty and terror to be found on the internet. In cataloging the best internet horror movies, we found films that cover the 21st century, various national cinemas, and a variety of subgenres. While these films share the internet as connective tissue, they\u2019re each unique and unsettling in their own ways. Turns out there\u2019s a whole world (wide web) of horrific potential that can be found when you\u2019re willing to search for it.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll away and dive into the most unsettling horror films focused on the internet, as chosen by Chris Coffel,\u00a0Valerie Ettenhofer,\u00a0Kieran Fisher,\u00a0Brad Gullickson,\u00a0Rob Hunter,\u00a0Meg Shields,\u00a0Jacob Trussell, and myself.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Searching_2018\"><\/span>10.

Its users. The supernatural element of the first <em>Unfriended<\/em> makes for fun, schlocky entertainment, but the bleak quasi-realness of its sequel manages to linger with you in a very different way. Sure, it\u2019s all fictional, but just thinking about the real-life horrors that actually do exist in the darkest pockets of the internet make the film palpably scarier than its predecessor. By placing the action squarely online from <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> messages down through to pre-pandemic video calls, the real-time action gives the scenes an immediacy that wouldn\u2019t have been possible with a typical techno-thriller. The film is just patently uncomfortable, which also makes it very successful in its intentions. <em>Unfriended: Dark Web<\/em> isn\u2019t a pleasant watch, but I know a lot of you love <em>A Serbian Film<\/em> or <em>Human Centipede 2<\/em>, so consider <em>Dark Web<\/em> as a light lunch if you\u2019re craving a little depravity in your afternoon.

The fact that the answer is both might be the most compelling reason to consider <strong>Tara Subkoff<\/strong>\u2019s film to be one of the most honest depictions of our relationship to the internet. The film follows the goings-on of a sleepover where social-media-obsessed twelve-year-old girls find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a live-streamed murder-spree. The film is as in-your-face as it could possibly be, to the point of being almost nauseating.

Director <strong>Tyler MacIntyre<\/strong> and his co-writer Chris Lee Hill dig into the intoxicating pull of social media and serve a dish of brutal kills and uncomfortable, awkward humor. Of course, every drippy bit of satire is elevated by the presence of Brianna Hildebrand and Alexandra Shipp as our heroic murderers. The duo delight in the bad behavior and violence, punctuating every action with peppy authenticity. All of this intelligence and thought would be for naught, though, if the film failed to achieve the basic principles of its genre. MacIntyre never forgets what world he\u2019s occupying, and the commentary is landed with the most vicious of slasher set-pieces.

The film\u2019s ending offers a brief break from the format \u2014 but there\u2019s no break from the dread \u2014 as it sets its sights on an internet culture that celebrates the pain of others from behind a computer screen.

Photos can be manipulated, information can be false, and even reflections of ourselves can be duplicitous. In\u00a0<strong>Daniel Goldhaber<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Isa Mazzei<\/strong>\u2019s film, this fact is uncovered by camgirl Alice (Madeline Brewer), who finds that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/best-doppelganger-horror-movies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an exact replica<\/a>\u00a0is impersonating her, online. This leads Alice down a dark and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>py road where nothing is as it seems and can\u2019t trust anyone to be who they say they are. Anchored by Brewer\u2019s gobsmackingly strong performance,\u00a0<em>Cam<\/em>\u00a0is an acutely focused look at how the internet can warp someone\u2019s selfhood, safety, and even sanity.

The film follows characters weaving their way through Tokyo and eventually crossing paths following the discovery that people are vanishing or dying, and that strange traces of them are remaining on their computers. Kurosawa\u2019s measured pace and command of tone make the film a dream-like portrayal of the internet\u2019s power that has only become more frightening in the nearly two decades since its release. Many other films on this list conjure horror from the notion that the internet is permanent and that anything we put online could come back to haunt us.\u00a0<em>Pulse<\/em>\u00a0lands in the number one spot for its depiction of the opposite: we are alone, we are impermanent, and in the end, nothing of us will remain.
