The Den

Not at all surprised nobody's started a thread on this yet as the screening was quite low in attendance. That's a real shame because this film has been one of my favourites so far this year.

The format (screencasts of the main character's desktop as she visits countless random chat conversations like some grim version of Chat Roulette) reminded me somewhat of the Skype-based segment of the first VHS film but with over three times the running time managed to build a much more unpleasant (in a good way) feeling of foreboding as it heads unrelentingly towards what you know is not going to be a pretty ending. Along the way the story goes to some really dark places all cleverly through the same medium and it's a real testament to the director/ writer that I never once got bored of essentially watching a Mac desktop.

I saw this a while ago and I agree that its very good and quite spooky. Should have been on the Main screens rather than the Discovery screen.
