Review of The Den

The Den (2013)
10/10
Internet with the best and worst of us
20 December 2015
Internet has freed our minds for it has created an space where rules and laws can be bend, and even broken. This feature film show us a dark side that, if only by common sense, we know it must exist. And the best part of it is that it has done so without going "hollywood" about it.

By "hollywood" I mean that you can clean your mind about preconceived ideas about what this movie is about, or what you think its going to happen. And I am not saying that this movie is not about a girl who witness something very wrong, or that at the end good will triumph over evil, and I am also not saying otherwise. All that I am saying is that this movie is going to be far more difficult to guess that the trailer or synopsis suggests, and that is a good thing.

Enjoy the introductory part of the movie. Enjoy the first few minutes of peace and quiet, because the rest of the movie will keep you at the edge of your seat or screaming. And again, that is a good thing because that is what you paid for.

If you, like me, are a fan of horror, my advice is obviously to go for this movie, but also to forget about guessing and focus on "enjoying" (if there is such thing) this movie. By the way, I can perfectly see this happening to any of us, so use this movie as a cautionary tale as well and an educational piece to discuss with your loved ones about how you use the internet.
