    The Den

    This movie was so disturbing for me knowing the dangers of the internet and that it seemed so realistic as if it happened for real. I liked the main character as well as the film it kept me in interest curious to see what's going to happen. I think that this movie has deep meanings as well especially to the young people that use these kind of sites.

    A gem you don't wanna turn down!

    I'll keep this brief but the film was very well executed! Definitely a unique and tasteful take on "found footage" even though this is no where near. The film tells the story from a first person narrative and delivers beautifully! The unfolding of events happens in a timely manner and is the farthest thing from predictable. The set design was phenomenal as well as the acting. I feel like these films have the potential to flop with even the slightest mistakes yet this gem managed to pull through with daring concepts and tie all all ends together nicely. I would recommend this to all horror connoisseur's and am fairly confident you will enjoy the ride. My one and only complaint is the gore. A couple shots were decent but for the most part it was lacking in believability.

    Most original found footage I've seen in a while, and I've seen a lot

    Cautionary tale finds a young woman, Elizabeth, receiving a grant to study the habits of webcam chat users. Elizabeth uses a site that allows her to randomly chat with literally anyone on her chat site all over the world.

    Things quickly go bad as she and her friends and family are drawn into a nightmare from which they can't escape. I don't want to give anything else away as the reveals are so much fun.

    This gruesome found footage horror has almost everything you could ask for in a horror movie. Parts of it almost play as a slasher and it has a lot of scares. I found references to several other popular horror movies and had a great time with this one.

    If you are a fan of found footage please give it a try. Most of you won't be disappointed.

    Great modern horror. Not good for my cyber-paranoia.

    This movie is very fresh and modern. I've never seen a horror movie done like this before (webcam style). I honestly don't understand all the negative reviews here. This movie was very fun to watch, made me jump a few times, and the story unwound perfectly. Don't be asking yourself "why is she filming this" - that totally defeats the purpose of storytelling. I feel like too many people might be going into this movie with high expectations? Sure there are some logical errors, but what horror movie is completely devoid of those?

    Actually, don't take my review into consideration. Only consider all the other negative reviews and just give this movie a try. Then perhaps you'll like it a bit more.

    I feel like the build up was great, the storytelling was fresh, and the ending was clever. The overall plot and ending might be a bit too sick and twisted for some (probably not for the average horror movie goer), but this is actually real life. There are some sick people out there and I feel like this movie made a great commentary about it.

    I'm somewhat biased ,

    Cause I really love found footage horrors) This little movie is not something extraordinary , but it's definitely a decent one time watch ! And a we all can't live without new technology and social media , the closer to home this movie feels)

    • Trivia
      Melanie Papalia said she researched her role by going into actual chat sites, including ChatRoulette, which she said creeped her out. She said most of the people were very weird and creepy, and almost all of the guys were naked. She said, "But it wasn't funny, it was gross. The look on these guys' faces while they were just sitting there touching themselves was so disturbing that it just stayed with me. I remembered it while filming too, but it's not a site that I ever want to go on again. I didn't think I would feel as vulnerable as I did, but it was the way they looked at me through my screen."

      It is not possible for the hacker to erase Elizabeth's hard drive in just a few seconds, especially by software means. It would take several hours to make the data completely unrecoverable.
