Well fun.
Certainly not a bad film this, which manages to score through the way of narration. I would actually like to see these types of films pop up even more, but I am still waiting for one in the horror genre to really do something original with them.
Because now we have a film that has a nice way of filming, but actually relies on a relatively weak story. The concept of The Den itself is very funny, and certainly in the beginning it has a lot of humor, but otherwise it doesn't have much.
A bunch of images of people jumping straight at the image is, in my opinion, a bit of a lazy way to instill fear. Because the film itself lacks some tension and that is because the story itself is never really challenging.
The acting is decent and the film is still interesting in the end. The last minutes are the saving grace of the film, otherwise I would have given it an unsatisfactory. It's an interesting concept with some nasty bits, but a bit too basic around it.
I don't have much more to say either. Entertaining horror movie, but when will the really scary movies come in this kind of storytelling?

Average horror movie with a different view on the found footage genre. This time it takes place almost entirely in the laptop of a student who likes to visit random chat rooms and ends up in a killing game here. Perhaps the film could have arrived a bit earlier at the last part, because that's where it really got interesting for me, unfortunately it only lasted 15 minutes.

I thought it was a good movie, but I don't understand who the masked killers actually were.
Were they acquaintances, or did she work for the paid site that the man was on at the end?
I thought it was a pity that the leading lady died. She had already been through so much.
