While Cam feels authentic, it's not a documentary.

Goldhaber’s steady hand ensures that things are rivetingly queasy from start to finish, and Brewer’s performance is powerful enough to flip the script on the entire cam experience.

Cam is an authentic, unexpected, and thrilling addition to modern horror canon.... It's a unique experiment, one that works incredibly well and benefits greatly from Mazzei's voice and Goldhaber's thoughtful direction.

It’s gripping stuff, especially since Goldhaber and Mazzei map out an endgame that’s maintains an intriguing ambiguity while still providing a definitive conclusion.

Mazzei expertly creates this sense of contrasting arguments through the mystery she’s crafted, letting its terror metaphorically represent the struggle sex workers combat psychologically thanks to America’s prudish nature forcing them to lead dual lives.

Cam is more successful as an oddly feminist tale of gutsy self-reliance than as a fully developed drama.

Unfortunately, a solid premise can only carry a film so far, and Goldhaber fails to deliver on Cam’s potential.

The first movie I have seen where being a sex worker isn't shown as a character flaw, it isn't shown as something to be overcome, it isn't something to be "saved from". It's just a job. The people in it felt real, felt flawed and imperfect. The undertones that the total invasion of privacy is almost worse than the possible danger to her. Very creepy, I fully recommend if you're in the mood for an off-beat horror film.

I appreciate a good Mystery and Psychological Thriller but if you try to provide an explanation to all the things going on on that one you just lose your time. And I do not mean there is a hidden explanation too hard to find, it is simply nonexistent.

CAM is like online porn you better not to skip just for revelatory climax seeing that you won’t find some twists. What I like the most is its own self awareness of sheer horror that doesn’t confine to supernatural elements yet still hypnotizing and well-acted. Gorgeous camshots !

The pacing was very slow. The plot was sort of meandering, and the concept wasn't really that attention-grabbing. The positive reviews must be because of the taboo of the subject material, but if there's a bigger message there it's not impactful.

I don't like horror movies a lot, but the story of ''Cam'' attract me to watch it, firstly there is no any horror in the movie, it must be classified as a mystery movie, secondly they didn't explain clearly the attack, who, how and why they did it (weak plot), finally the end was more silly than you imagine. It is just a bad movie, and you will waste your time if you watch it, I don't know why the critics gave it a positive review!!! I think their accounts were hacked.
