What happens

The Den (released in some countries as Hacked) is a 2013 American found footage horror film directed by Zachary Donohue in his feature directorial debut. Starring Melanie Papalia, the film follows a graduate student who, while conducting research on an online chat platform, becomes the target of a network of killers who broadcast murders as part of a black-market website. First released in Russia on December 23, 2013, under the title Смерть в сети (Death Online), the film received a simultaneous limited theatrical and video-on-demand release in the United States on March 14, 2014, through IFC Midnight. The Den explores themes of social media, computer hacking, voyeurism, the deep web, and filmed killings presented in the style of snuff films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
