Cam

The movie starts well. You might be waiting for the part from synopsis which says that a look-alike takes over, but the initial character development of Madeline does help set the tone of how important the job is for Madeline. Her transformation from less confident to dealing with a difficult problem is nicely sketched.

There is a weird scene in the movie, where friend of Madeline, asks Madeline to take pics of her and then later when she looks at the snap, she says, "I look so blotchy" and proceeds to fix her photo, even though Madeline repeatedly clarifies that she looks fine. This is weird because this scene is highlighted and it creates a feeling that later in the plot, it might show you that her friend was involved somehow. Anyways, that what I thought.

5 is for good cinematography. Could have been better with some more skip-the-beat thrills.

Good plot, amazing actress, but the ending basically doesn't explain anything. It's like the movie has been cut into two halves except the second half is none existent

Cam (2018) follows a camgirl who awakes one day to discover she's been replaced on her show with an exact replica of herself. This horror film introduces a haunting and highly intriguing scenario. Although the mystery itself is captivating, the conclusion is underwhelming as the film avoids any delivery of answers. The direction and cinematography were surprisingly fantastic, with the aesthetic of the cam rooms making for some beautiful shots and sets. I also really enjoyed the social commentary on how online sex workers are viewed and how they're forced to lead dual lives due to the stigma associated with the profession. Some better writing and a more solid third act could really change this film from good to great.

Sometimes you watch a film, and you don't fully understand it, and you certainly wouldn't be able to explain or describe it, Cam is certainly one of those films, but despite those points I enjoyed it. It's a different setup, sometimes people wake up and don't know who they are, where they are etc, Lola wakes up, and finds that someone's pinched her webcam details, and bizarrely is somehow imitating her.

I didn't have a clue what was going on half the time, and it seemed the writers didn't either, they hit upon a great idea, but couldn't fully explain what exactly was going on, the ending had me scratching my head, asking, so what exactly was that all about, was Tinker actually involved?

Ultimately though, who cares, sometimes a film is just ninety minutes of unexplained entertainment, if you're someone that wants a conclusion, and to know every detail, this would certainly drive you nuts.

Madeline Brewer did a fine job as Lola, I wonder if she knew exactly what was happening? She gave the character some real depth, what appears to be a shallow girl on the surface, is a complex, thoughtful character.

Rather good, 6/10

Most of the movie was interesting, bu everything goes down at the end. Nothing is explained, and you end up feeling that you wasted your time
