A young woman studying the habits of webcam users witnesses a murder online and becomes the killer's next target.

The Hollywood Reporter

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

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

Rated: 1/5

It's not gonna change the genre but it's a well enough slapped together little thing

More of a guilty pleasure kind of movie than anything groundbreaking.

I would consider this something of a remake, but with certain twist pretty predictable , it wasn't a shocker, it was more of a slasher, not too original though, maybe one time around while doing laundry lol not a Saturday night

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

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.
