Verdict: A riveting techno-horror, "Cam" successfully manages to leave anyone who watches it on the edge of their seat for its entire runtime.
Led by a terrific Madeline Brewer, Daniel Goldhaber's directorial debut, and despite its sometimes questionable script, superbly captures the elements that make a psychological thriller such an exciting one. It's creepy, upsetting, unnerving all at the same time, and beautifully parallels a beloved story known by everyone that I won't spoil here, but that will become immediately apparent to you as soon as the main character's real name is revealed.
The only issue I had and that I believe will be shared by many viewers was the unsatisfying ending that left a taste of unfinished in my mouth. However, the journey that led to it is definitely worth a watch, especially considering the fact that the movie is available to stream on Netflix.
