Leave your thoughts about The Den.
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanMoves like a bullet and jolts the hell out of you on a regular basis. This is the kind of film that, when it's over, makes you want to sit down and calm your nerves for a while. |
| FILMINK (Australia)John NoonanIt's mean-spirted, vicious and twistedly entertaining, the kind of film that will make you think twice about being left alone and vulnerable in front of your laptop. |
| The Film StageAmanda WaltzThe film is neither compelling or innovative enough to justify sitting through its torture porn-y moments. |
| About.comMark H. HarrisThe Den still manages to make it feel refreshing within the glut of first-person fright flicks on the market. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergThe Den has some pretty compelling things to say about the alleged safety of the internet. Also it's creepy. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelThe results are a paranoid thrill ride into twenty-first century manipulation and exploitation, a pseudo snuff film whose very making we witness, and whose impact comes from our awareness of its chilling plausibility. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterAlmost every image in this movie — from webcams, websites and laptop cameras — appears on a monitor. Scenes pulse with the Internet’s speed and sprawl, aided by clever editing that pops. The effect is insular, off-putting and disconcertingly familiar. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis is the rare film that would actually seem even creepier watched from home on your computer, preferably alone to enhance its voyeuristic effect. |
| OregonianJamie S. Rich"The Den" is unsettling without being excessively gory, building legitimate dread rather than resorting to cheap scares. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiLike many found-footage films before it, The Den never entirely suspends disbelief. It doesn't satisfyingly account for how the characters are producing all the footage. |
