Notes

My quick rating - 4,9/10. I mean, the film presents an intriguing premise. A young camgirl discovers she's been inexplicably replaced on her site by an exact replica of herself. This clever concept initially hooks you with the potential for a tense psychological thriller, blending identity theft with the eerie world of online personas. Unfortunately, while the setup is strong, the execution falters due to baffling character decisions and a frustrating lack of narrative payoff. Alice (Madeline Brewer) has this inability to take simple, logical actions—like clearly explaining her situation to people who could help—dragging the film down significantly. Watching her stumble through increasingly dumb decisions feels less like a reflection of realistic panic and more like lazy writing designed to stretch out the runtime. Her acting was adequate enough but the writing for her character was painful. Instead of building genuine tension, it often left me distracted by her inexplicable choices, making it hard to stay invested. Worse still, the film concludes without offering any real answers. There's no explanation of what happened, how it was possible, or how it affected others in similar situations. It feels like the filmmakers threw up their hands and said, "Who cares? They won't notice." This dismissive approach is disappointing, especially when a little effort could've provided a satisfying resolution. Even an outlandish theory would've been better than leaving us with nothing. Filmmakers, such as Daniel Goldhaber who wrote and directed this, should respect their audience's intelligence, we do remember characters and plot threads from earlier in the film. In the end, Cam squanders its promising premise with poor character choices and an unsatisfying conclusion. It's a film that teases depth and at times succeeds but ultimately lets you down in the end.
