Cam2Cam

So, was this script written with only one thought in mind? Every line of chat has to contain the maximum amount of acronyms and abbreviations! Seriously, does anyone really chat like that? I mean, ds ne1 rly cht lyk that?! In an sms, about 10 years ago, maybe.. but in online chat rooms and stuff? Looks forced is all I'm saying. And stupid.

Other than that.. Uhm, the movie is unfortunately quite boring. Not a lot happens. The story is not very interesting. That one web-cam chick there is pretty hot, and you know.. you feel kind of like a pervert for thinking so.

I would just not recommend this movie to anyone, really. If you love horror-ish movies about chatting and web-stuff, then perhaps, but there are still a lot of better choices out there. Unfriended/cybernatural is a much better pick.

Kind of a shame with this movie, because it is pretty well made. Just way to boring. The few "action-scenes" we get, are good. But they are few. Like, very few. Matter fact, where is the horror at all!? The acting is uneven, to say the least. It is a problem when a movie you expect to be horror, instead focuses on the "drama", as if to say: hey, we have a small budget, but we can make a gripping movie none the less! No, you can't.

Movies are made to entertain, that is their only purpose. So, when a movie is boring to the point of not being entertaining, well, that movie has pretty much failed, no? Yes. So pick another movie.

This movie has its moments when you are at the edge of your seat, but then it can't keep the suspense going as it loses direction at times which way to go next with the plot.

People go to Thailand to act on their most extreme fantasies, in Cam2Cam that includes serial killing.

Bangkok, Thailand is thought to be the destination for any tourist hoping to explore and act on the most taboo kink and fetish. An American tourist named Allie goes to Bangkok and meets a group of performers on a sex website Cam2Cam. These twisted twenty somethings are keeping a sinister secret from Allie.

With such debaucherous and sexually depraved themes, Cam2Cam is pretty flat and unconvincing. The film opens on a girl instant messaging and video chatting with someone and quickly turns cliché. This scenes marks the tone for the deaths and murders in Cam2Cam; they are gruesome and savage and yet they do not translate to a sense of horror.

Joel Soisson attempts to capture the Bangkok atmosphere to add to the tone of the film. It is an admirable attempt but the story created by Marie Gautier and Davy Sihali just does not translate into a feature film. Originally a short film from 2008, as a full length film the 2014 version drags on, stretching a filler filled 91 minutes.

The way characters instant message in this movie is extremely distracting. It is very inaccurate and almost as if an alien observed behavior and said 'this is how humans computer.' An example: "put yr kamra bak on'. It is a minor detail but when the minor details are so flawed you know the rest of the film is going to be atrocious and it is.

The acting is not great, but it also did not bother me as much as the entirety of the plot. Casting of Sarah Bonrepaux as the seductive and charismatic Marit was on point. The rest of the roles were cast in a very stereotypical horror movie kind of way, lots of pretty people: Tammin Sursok, Ben Wiggins and Jade Tailor included.

Cam2Cam is overall a disappointing and unremarkable film that tries to capitalize on its environment and only exacerbates its drawn out plot.

Well, I will say that "Cam2Cam" started out interesting enough, I mean as it deals with the topic of people spying on you on webcam and the internet and pretending to be someone they're not.

And then when someone was killed and beheaded I thought yeah okay this movie could be good fun. Well, that was just not to be.

The movie quickly cascaded into becoming boring, pointless and just downright ridiculous. It was so hard to the the storyline and script that writers Marie Gautier, Davy Sihali and Joel Soisson had put together seriously.

And little did it help that the characters in this 2014 movie were essentially just faceless mannequins milling about with almost no material to work with. I could not honestly put my finger on any single character and claim to have had an interest. I am sure that the actors and actresses were doing good enough jobs with their performances, but they literally had nothing to work with.

"Cam2Cam" quickly lost its appeal and just sunk into pointlessness. In fact, it grew so stale and boring that I actually ended up giving up on it. And I honestly have no intention whatsoever of ever returning to finishing the movie.

If you enjoy thrillers or horror, do yourself a favor and give "Cam2Cam" a wide berth.

My rating of director Joel Soisson's movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value and editing of the movie.

From the plot summary of this movie I thought it was going to an intriguing thriller. Turns out it's short on thrills, making it more a non-thriller. Dull, listless with a plot that's half-baked. Not watchable at all.
