We’ve all seen the ‘unboxing’ videos on YouTube, well now we have a film produced during the lockdown featuring social media ‘influencers’ opening mystery boxes sent from the dark Internet.

Dark Web: Mystery Box is a film from Vestra Pictures and Mort House Films in which the actors have all shot their scenes in isolation during the lockdown. Tony Newton and Josh Schultz have put together the footage and will be releasing the movie on YouTube for one week only from April 25th at 3am.

From the press release:

A Dark Web mystery box normally contains terrifying items, eerie, creepy items like children’s toys, human hair, blood stained clothing, satanic symbols and in most cases will give clues to a murder which has been committed, most likely by the sender. This mystery box houses the most terrifying item of all, a VHS tape that will kill the viewer! VHS is having somewhat of a comeback, a resurgence with cult media collectors who collect video nasties, cult shot on video splatter films and big box ex-rentals, but a blank VHS tape is worthless it holds no value unless lying deep within the magnetic tape is a curse, or a myth, or a brain changing sequence of images, lights, and wording all strategically put together to create a creepypasta for the video logging generation.

An experiment in terror! Is this a cursed tape or is there something more sinister behind it, videos being collected on the dark web of people dying?! If your mind doesn’t kill you, they will, but don’t expect to uncover the mystery, just watch in horror as their lives come crashing down in front of the camera!

Make sure you head to YouTube to catch the film before it disappears! Don’t worry, though, it’ll be available on DVD soon after.
