After receiving a grant for her graduate thesis, Elizabeth Benton (Melanie Papalia) logs onto a video-chat site known as THE DEN, on a mission to explore the habits of its users. During one of her random video-chats, Elizabeth watches in horror as a teenage girl is gruesomely murdered in front of her webcam. While the police dismiss it as a viral prank, Elizabeth believes what she saw is real and takes it upon herself to find the truth. Her life quickly spirals out of control as she gets pulled deeper into the darkest recesses of the internet. And eventually, Elizabeth finds herself trapped in a twisted game in which she and her loved ones are targeted for the same grisly fate as the first victim.

The Den is a thematic lesson rather than a good movie itself. It's about a woman that receives a grant for her graduate thesis to explore online activities on video-chat site, The Den. This film nails home the reality that the internet can not only control our lives, but completely destroy it if we put too much of ourselves out there. While the acting was average, the end had zero revelation and cinematography was absent due to webcam use, the film still had some good suspense and brutal, gritty scenes.

I was on the fence about this one. While a decent found-footage title, it still is a little lacking in story. I just felt that it was kind of a story that has been used before over and over again. If the film-maker would have tried to change it up a little bit about 30 minutes from the end, then the film could have had an awesome ending and would have been worth the watch. You just kind of feel let down by the ending, while creative, it was a let down to me. But it's still a solid found-footage movie so I give it 4/5!

I am one of the rare individuals who don't chat online or watch videos on YouTube...so though I chuckled a few times...i never made it to anything interesting...
