As a viewer I really don't care about the Director's views on these topics, I just want to watch an entertaining film. It's not as if online identify theft is a prevalent issue that most of us have to deal with anyway. Expand

I appreciate a good Mystery and Psychological Thriller but if you try to provide an explanation to all the things going on on that one you just lose your time. And I do not mean there is a hidden explanation too hard to find, it is simplyI appreciate a good Mystery and Psychological Thriller but if you try to provide an explanation to all the things going on on that one you just lose your time.

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 ! Expand

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 upCam, 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

Sometimes it's good to get to the end of a mystery film without an obvious explaination, leaving you to ponder after the credits roll.

Cam didn't do this for me, my final thought was "Ok, so what happened?" It just felt like I had somehow missed a critical scene or two to make the experience feel complete.

I read a review elsewhere after watching the film that included the thoughts of the writer, it would seem that the message he wanted to convey was the double life of the cam girl, the completed different personalities. I didn't feel like he really achieved this, and to be honest that seems like such an obvious and unremarkable aspect to the lifestyle it's something i kind of ignored as filler content. although the acting was good enough, I never felt compelled to care about the character, in either of her lives. It seems the writers intent was to serve up the mystery as a means to drive a story about identity. It was the mystery that allowed me to persevere with a story about a character with to unlikeable personalities, and ultimately left me feeling like i wasted my time with this film.
