While Cam feels authentic, it's not a documentary. Read full review

Katie Rife

Nov 12, 2018

Mazzei’s script and Goldhaber’s direction complement each other beautifully, with true-to-life details like the tacky dollar-store carpet that decorates Alice’s camming room and the pink taser she keeps in her car playing off of—and enhancing—the naturalistic dialogue. Read full review

Brewer, of course, is the glue that holds the puzzle together. If we didn’t care for her surreal plight, then the film would just not work, but the actress builds a thoroughly believable character in Alice. Read full review

Randall Colburn

It’s gripping stuff, especially since Goldhaber and Mazzei map out an endgame that’s maintains an intriguing ambiguity while still providing a definitive conclusion. Read full review

Cam is a suspenseful mind-bender with plenty of timely feminist subtext. It takes viewers down some unexpected rabbit holes and commendably avoids pandering to male-gaze sex-thriller tropes, even if it ultimately fails to deliver on its grippingly weird early promise. Read full review

On a narrative level, Mazzei and Goldhaber don’t come up with enough ideas for how to capitalize on their hooky premise. But on a character level? The filmmakers and Brewer capture the mounting existential anxiety of a woman who’s constructed an entire identity on-line and is horrified to see that it can keep on living without her.

Unfortunately, a solid premise can only carry a film so far, and Goldhaber fails to deliver on Cam’s potential. Read full review

The first movie I have seen where being a sex worker isn't shown as a character flaw, it isn't shown as something to be overcome, it isn't something to be "saved from". It's just a job. The people in it felt real, felt flawed and imperfect. The undertones that the total invasion of privacyThe first movie I have seen where being a sex worker isn't shown as a character flaw, it isn't shown as something to be overcome, it isn't something to be "saved from". It's just a job. The people in it felt real, felt flawed and imperfect. The undertones that the total invasion of privacy is almost worse than the possible danger to her. Very creepy, I fully recommend if you're in the mood for an off-beat horror film.… Expand

CAM is like online porn you better not to skip just for revelatory climax seeing that you won’t find some twists. What I like the most is its own self awareness of sheer horror that doesn’t confine to supernatural elements yet still hypnotizing and well-acted. Gorgeous camshots !

Cam, directed by Daniel Goldhaber and starring Devin Druid from TRW (13 Reasons Why) is a sh*tty movie. The movie offers a few interesting elements, but overall nothing here makes any sense. It seems like its a supernatural movie, but up until act III, it had given no such indication. EvenCam, directed by Daniel Goldhaber and starring Devin Druid from TRW (13 Reasons Why) is a sh*tty movie. The movie offers a few interesting elements, but overall nothing here makes any sense. It seems like its a supernatural movie, but up until act III, it had given no such indication. Even still it doesn't commit to this as the movie isn't sure if it is supernatural or if the antagonist is just a 'glitch'. No one does anything that makes any sense, and the movie as a whole seemed to exist solely to satiate Sado-Masochist desires of the viewers, with sexualized suicide and bondage. If you are into cam girls or BDSM maybe give this a watch, but there is nothing here that one couldn't find on other porn services.… Expand
