If you missed catching Zach Donahue's THE DEN during its limited theatrical and VOD run earlier this year fret not as IFC Midnight has finally dated the film for DVD release on July 29, and we've got the DVD artwork to share with ya.
I've been curious to check out THE DEN ever since peeping the official trailer for this badboy back in February. While THE DEN isn't quite a found footage movie, it instead focuses on "video chatting," which I guess the kids are into nowadays. After this movie, they might think twice about that…
Directed by Zach Donohue, THE DEN goes like this:
After receiving a grant for her graduate thesis, Elizabeth Benton (Melanie Papalia) logs onto a video-chat site known as THE DEN, on a mission to explore the habits of its users. During one of her random video-chats, Elizabeth watches in horror as a teenage girl is gruesomely murdered in front of her webcam. While the police dismiss it as a viral prank, Elizabeth believes what she saw is real and takes it upon herself to find the truth. Her life quickly spirals out of control as she gets pulled deeper into the darkest recesses of the internet. And eventually, Elizabeth finds herself trapped in a twisted game in which she and her loved ones are targeted for the same grisly fate as the first victim.
THE DEN stars Melanie Papalia, Adam Shapiro, David Schlactenhaufen and Matt Riedy. You can pre-order it on DVD HERE.
