16 Movies Where the Internet Is the Villain According to Ranker

"As the internet has continually changed the world, Hollywood has responded by making a series of cyber-thrillers and online-themed horror films. These stories often portray the downside of the internet and the various ways in which it can be abused. Many of these movies have been successful, although several - especially the ones that came out in the '90s and early 2000s - have become amusingly dated. The following films all have one thing in common, namely that the internet itself is essentially the villain. Yes, a few examples have a mastermind somehow using the world wide web for sinister purposes, but in each case, it's the internet itself that makes their villainy possible in the first place. These are films that speak to our online age, reminding us that as wonderful as the net can be, it also has the potential to make our lives miserable." - ranker.com
