What happens

Scary Stories: Dark Web is a 2020 supernatural horror anthology directed by Bryan Renaud and produced by Random Acts, written by Renaud with additional material by Savanna Rae and Crystal Skillman. Originally developed as a live performance, the production was reimagined as a film, beginning production March 6, 2020, before the similar pandemic-era film Host. The film is notable in that it serves as an anthology with unconnected shorts, described in the plot as being found on the dark web. The story follows a group of friends (Savanna Rae, Bryan Renaud, Shannon Leigh Webber, Sarah Patin, Ben F. Locke, and Alexandra Alontaga) who unleash a long-dormant demon when stumbling into the dark web. In addition to the Zoom call, found footage formats used in the film include phone video, documentary footage, and live streaming. The film premiered on demand on October 8, 2020, originally for a limited four-week run. After becoming the best-selling production in Random Acts' history, it was extended through November 2020 before eventually streaming on YouTube. In late 2020, the film was dubbed in Portuguese and released in Brazilian cinemas by Fox. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
