An underrated found footage film that is an terrifying horror movie and one of the best to use the Screenlife gimmick

The internet can be deadly. This movie was much better than "Ratter." I recommend it.

I love this movie. I just finished watching it for the third time and still feel like it’s one of the most underrated horror movies out there. Great premise, great pacing, excellent scares.

Before Unfriended: Dark Web, there was The Den. We've all seen crazy things online, so what happens when you see something strange and take an extra step to figure out what it actually is? That's where this movie comes into play.

This Movie was Terrific with a Capital"T"!!!!! Wow Oh Wow, It kept me glued to my TV... It sort of reminded me on How the world wide group of Heathens that are targeting College aged handsome, athletic ,jock types who are in College and going to be somebody..The Smiley Face Killers..You all by now know about this Phenom that is 100% real. This Movie made me think that the "MEN" who are kidnapping, GHBing these guys keeping them alive for a few days to months before they are dropped into a waterway..This is going on now for over 20 plus years and NO NO clues as to who the wide spread group is...This Movie is different but the way the group of Men and Women were totally in sync I now visually saw how this is totally possible. This Move "The Den" was terrific, believeable. Hey, it is happening now except they target the Guy at closing times and before, a van pulls up and Walla the guy is gonzo then found dead..Any Movie I watch it seems there is always a bit of truths in each and every one I watch. I am an ex law worker so my brain is always always working over time. Anyways this Movie is a Perfect "10"..The acting was spot-on..I highly recommend this Movie. Please NO NO Children under 18..Very Graphic ,,which makes this so realistic. Hey Murder is an Ugly business.. Enjoy....

Zach Donohue's debut feature ingeniously uses only computer images to tell its tale.

Los Angeles Times

False leads superfluously string the protagonist along; it feels as though the writers have padded the script rather than showed off their cleverness.

There are almost no real shocks or scares to rattle you out of the stupor that inevitably develops from observing someone else fiddle with their laptop for much of the running time.

Rated: 1.5/4

Gory and unnerving, The Den will certainly awaken new fears in you about chatting online with strangers.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

As pointless and erratic as actually surfing ChatRoulette for 75 minutes, and the film constantly cheated its premise.

Rated: 1/5
