Cam2Cam

Cam2Cam (2014) is a movie that I caught on Tubi last month. The storyline follows a young lady whose sister was brutally murdered in a Bangkok apartment. The sister moves into the same apartment, gets to know the residents and retraces her sisters footsteps. When a woman helping her disappears in a similar fashion to her sister she knows she's close to uncovering the killer...but how close?

This movie is directed by Joel Soisson (Maniac Cop 3) and stars Tammin Sursok (Pretty Little Liars), Ben Wiggins (The Witcher), Sarah Bonrepaux (The ABCs of Death), Jade Tailor (Aquarius) and Russell Geoffrey Banks (The Hangover Part II).

This movie was better than I anticipated and kept my attention until the final scene. The storyline is actually pretty solid and being filmed in Bangkok gave it additional elements that were interesting. Jade Tailor was absolutely smoking and the opening kill was solid with great blood splatter. I also liked the use of the monkey. The ax kills were also pretty good and the scene in the street with the police tracking him was awesome. Most of the date scenes and confessions felt unnatural and unrealistic, whether the character is telling the truth or lying. There is some worthwhile twists in this but I must say I didn't love the very ending.

Overall, this has some redeeming elements that make it worth a watch. I would score this a 5-5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

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.

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.

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.

.. get? No pun intended and probably not entirely true in this case. I have not done cam thing yet, but everyone knows what it is. Women are obviously more vulnerable in those interactions - unfortunately. And the beginning shows that quite vividly. But while you may think you know where this is going ... well it may surprise you.

For better or worse that is. Because the movie is quite ... well it may feel weird and strange in the direction it decides to go. I do like that it gets less predictable - on the other hand, you may feel lost in the plot and with the characters and who is who ... and why they are ... and why they do, you know things. But this is a horror movie, not everything has to make sense. Not as titilating as you may expect with a title like that - just be aware of that and you may be good watching this.
