  The webcam found-footage is well done and the concept is quite disturbing considering the horrors that must be really found inside the deep web; the only problem is that the clichés are sometimes infuriating, like no one believing the main character and thinking she is crazy.

  A 21st century horror that deals with plausible issues with using technology, but an unsatisfying and unscary horror makes this movie a snore fest.

  Imagine Hostel with webcams and that is exactly what this movie is. Of course, I'm not saying it's a shameless ripoff, because it does have its own identity, what with the film being completely comprised of webcam footage. While this webcam usage does serve a purpose in the story, as Elizabeth is performing a study on people who use these social media sites and their behavior, and that leads her to uncovering a brutal murder. But I'm not sure if it was chosen for purely story purposes or because it was cheaper to make that way. I'd like to think it was more of the former than the latter. With that said, I think the film does a perfectly good job at showcasing the goofier side of the internet, with the cat videos and people humiliating themselves for others' amusements, to the more darker side of murder videos being very easily accessible to whomever wants to watch them. It's probably one of the better movies at this because so many films, based around the internet, only focus on the negative aspects of it. This movie makes sure that you can see that the internet is a place where you can have a lot of fun and be able to meet new people from all over the world, but it's also a place where you can find incredibly ugly and disgusting things. I liked this movie, it's certainly not even close to the best horror film of the year, Cheap Thrills takes that honor, but it is an entertaining horror film to watch for its brief running time. That sounds wrong considering the fact that the film isn't selling hope, far from it as this business where people's lives are showcased for others to see, before they're kidnapped and murdered, will continue on into the future. In many ways, the reveal that this is a business, where people pay to watch the lives of others shortly before they're murdered is an indictment on most horror fans. We're part of that endless cycle of violence, as we demand to see the suffering and death of these fictional people. Again, this applies to some horror fans, not all of us. I do enjoy myself a good, bloody and gory horror film, not gonna lie. But this commentary was good, not necessarily clever, but good enough to make you think. The acting is solid for a horror movie, but not out of this world. It's good enough that you won't notice it at all while you're watching the film. That said, this film isn't the most inventive, or clever, of horror films. But it does offer an entertaining and smart experience. It's also incredibly short, so you can't really go wrong with this movie if you're looking for a quick horror fix.

  After all, the found-footage genre is far from dead. Sometimes, little movies like The Den show up to prove that there's still some originality in the concept. I actually think this is not the first time that a movie was solely made with internet videos, conferences, etc, VHS had a segment that was like this but The Den is actually a really smart take on the scary side of the internet. Unfortunently, despite being really well made and fairly well acted, there are no surprises to be had. The movie follows a terribly predictable structure from any given structure, which is a terrible shame because of the concept the movie is into. There was a missed opportunity here, but given the humble origins it has, this quite the solid effort.
