The Internet. Nothing like it is there. So many things to do, so many people to meet. IFC MIDNIGHT just released a trailer for their “chat room gone wrong” thriller THE DEN.
Here’s the official story break down:
“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.”
Ready to see what it’s all about? Say no more:
This one stars Melanie Papalia, Adam Shapiro, David Schlactenhaufen and Matt Riedy and will be available on VOD starting March 14th. If you live in a major market, keep your eyes open as a limited theatrical run is also planned on that same date.
Terrible title, interesting premise, promising trailer.
This could be a winner.
