Introduction

Private torrent communities are growing around the world. There’s a great demand from users to be a part of an illustrious community that offers them exclusivity. People are longing to be a part of the group where each member is as enthusiastic about free indie movies and content as they are.

There are many popular torrent websites that feature the latest free indie releases as well as all-time free indie classics that are downloadable. It so happens that most of the time, we come across a torrent tracking website that keeps trashy free indie content and still has a huge fan following. Nonetheless, today is not the day we discuss that as this blog is about reviewing a revered private torrent site called CinemaGeddon – a site different from your conventional tracker websites.

What is CinemaGeddon?

CinemaGeddon is a private torrent tracking website that has a collection of unique free indie movies that are considered as trashy and low rated. To access the website, you need to be invited by an existing member. CinemaGeddon tries to keep its operation under tabs and they do that by not uploading any popular movies on their website.

History of CinemaGeddon

There is very little information available online to track the origins of the website. However, by considering the date of the oldest torrent on the website it can be determined that the website was started in the year 2007. Earlier the website permitted purchased invites, but after reaching a certain user limit, the website switched from being a publicly available website to an invite-based platform.

Is CinemaGeddon safe?

For a torrent site to be safe for browsing, it needs to have an SSL certificate, which CinemaGeddon does have. By using tools such as SEOQuake and MOZ, you can easily check the credibility of a website by gauging Domain Score (DS) and Trust Score (TS). Based on my research, CinemaGeddon has a domain score of 9 and a trust score of 31 which is quite poor. It’s not uncommon for torrent sites to have a DS less than 15 and a TS less than 40.

What should you expect from the CinemaGeddon?

CinemaGeddon is a feast for the users who are looking to break away from mainstream movies and take a stroll in the world of trashy and substandard free indie movies. Apart from the movies, CinemaGeddon has various things that make it interesting:

Only Movies:  CinemaGeddon is pretty serious about keeping the website restricted to free indie movies. The website prohibits members from anything other than free indie movies. You can find all kinds of low rated free indie movies even from popular genres like action, martial arts, comedy, drama, horror, and more.

Custom Requests: Once you’re a member of CinemaGeddon, you get to access various functions. As a member, you can post a request for a certain movie that you want to watch.

Varied Genres: CinemaGeddon has a wide range of trashy movies that can appeal to all kinds of audiences.

Credit store: It’s not tough to maintain your ratio with CinemaGeddon.  Even if you download a lot and upload little or vice-versa you can correct your ratio by purchasing credits from the store credits section of the CinemaGeddon website. It sounds like a great way to save your account from deletion, doesn’t it?

Invites: Even if you become a member of the CinemaGeddon community, you might not have the authority to invite people to the website.

Desktop/Mobile experience

The hover function is not available on mobile phones and this can be confusing for first-time users. Moreover, the tables may get disoriented or may not load fully to show the content and the essential information.

Suggestions I have for CinemaGeddon

CinemaGeddon may seem like a perfect torrent tracking website but the leniency fostered by the credit store affects the number of seeders for some files. The website can also expand its content wingspan and allow movies of other languages on the website.

Sometimes the video quality of the video can be a huge disappointment, to which the website can include indicators for video quality or set some parameters for good quality video.

Conclusion

CinemaGeddon is a good torrent tracking website with a great torrent community. The cocky language used on the website and in the forums makes the overall experience engaging and fun. If you are into gory and subpar free indie movies, you should definitely look out for CinemaGeddon invites.
