The Den (2013) Reviews
Starts with such potential, collapses into absurdity.
**Possible spoilers *** The most disappointing thing about this one is it started off with so much potential and good execution, and then collapsed into stupidity. Cast with some actual talent who weren't stumbling around in front of the camera , a tightened script that wasn't stuffed with ad libs and improv being tossed off inexperienced actors, and production that didn't look like they went shopping at the dollar store. It even handled the found footage camera excuse with a nice twist, at least at first. It hums along building up a good head of steam, and then at the halfway mark, totally crashes and burns. Of course there's the inevitable and inexcusable camera angles as they keep their phones pointed at their faces while they run from murderers or phones drop at just the right angles during the attacks. Plot holes you could drive a bus through like strangers strolling through crime scenes surrounded by police and even interviewing witnesses or moving and removing evidence in full view of a dozen detectives, or expert computer techs who can't find spy-ware but can evaluate a multi server IP address, or cams that work even after hard drives have been wiped. Then it gets worse as it warps into some sort of Saw meets Texas Chainsaw movie, with even more plot travesty like not stopping unarmed killer with your sledgehammer. Then, the ending twist you can see coming a mile away, topped off with the writer/director wanting to make ' a point' at the last scene. So disappointing. Typical when writer/director is the same person.
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.
Build Lead-up to Nowhere
OMG, how many relatives of the producers, actors in the movie, or brain dead people are there for this movie to have so many high star reviews? The movie is your typical shaky cam crap. One reviewer mentions in his title that this is the most original horror movie he has ever seen. Another a horror gem. I can tell you that this movie is neither original or a gem. The first half is pretty good in that it is a lead up. Sets the stage, builds some tension, and gets you ready for what's to come. The problem is the second half goes into la la land. The antagonists are not supposed to be supernatural, but they have a magical ability to break into peoples computers, sneak into their homes, avoid the police, and not get hurt. I mean how many times does she have to stab these guys and run them over with a car before they are either seriously injured or hurt? The answer is multiple stabbings in the stomach just left a stain on the guys shirt and hitting with a car didn't do anything at all. And boy, did the second half drag. It just dragged and dragged on with the same crap to fill at least 30 minutes that added nothing to the movie. There was a poor ending, with what I'm sure the writers thought was a clever twist. Unfortunately, it was neither clever or a twist. There was absolutely no closure. Yes, the ending did hint to the motivation of the perpetrators, but it never explained how they got super human and magical abilities.
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.
Terrible
This movie is by far one of the lamest and most unsatisfactory horror movies I've ever seen. Second only to Dark Skies. The end offers very little explanation and leaves the viewer with a lot of questions and more than a little frustrated. The plot takes twists and turns and ultimately turns around and goes backward leaving the conflict unresolved (kinda like Dark Skies). all of the characters are very static and have no progression including our main heroine. And not to mention most of the camera work (shot entirely through the cameras on the phones and computers) was a lot like Cloverfield what with all the running and screaming and the viewer can't really see anything unless she/he wants to end up with a migraine. I wish I hadn't wasted the seventy six minutes watching it, and my advice is that you go watch something interestingly thought provoking like The Tall Man.
