User Reviews
NightOwlMama – 8/10
“I went into this expecting a dry documentary, but it was genuinely creepy. The way they showed how advertisers exploit kids' vulnerabilities was disturbing. As a parent, it made me angry and scared. Highly recommend to any parent.”
HorrorHound77 – 7/10
“Not your typical horror, but this film scared me more than any ghost story. The marketing tactics used on children are truly terrifying. The interviews were insightful and the pacing kept me engaged. A bit preachy at times, but the message is important.”
SkepticalViewer – 6/10
“I thought the film had a strong message but it felt a bit repetitive. The scariest part for me was realizing how much of this is true and happens every day. However, I wish they had focused more on solutions rather than just scaring us.”
TinfoilTom – 9/10
“This is the most unsettling documentary I've seen in years. It exposes the corporate machine that turns children into cash cows. My only complaint is that it's not longer. Essential viewing for anyone who cares about the future.”
