There is a clear battle between the film's desire for either realism or fantasy; Body Cam uses horror as a cure-all.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 20, 2023

... it raises more questions than answers, making for an unfulfilling experience, no matter how hard the cast and crew have tried to sell it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 15, 2021

Just barely elevates above being a rote horror movie when it starts jabbing the hot button late in the third act.

| Nov 19, 2020

It doesn't always work due to a lack of fright and tension, but the picture still thrives as an exercise in grief and trauma with horror elements upholding the drama at hand.

The scariest thing about this movie is how it was able to see the future. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2020

Blige delivers the worst performance of her career...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 30, 2020

The movie is [Mary J.] Blige's first time getting top billing in a major motion picture ... and it's an unfortunate career misstep for her as an actress, due to her wooden acting in the film and the movie's silly plot.

| Jul 19, 2020

What lets Body Cam down is the screenplay, which after a tight opening becomes slightly unfocused in the final act, and as the film progresses there's a tendency to spell out what's happening a little too clearly.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 10, 2020

The script is not the most electrifying, especially its dialogue, but Mary J Blige does her best with the material given to her.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2020

In and of itself, Body Cam is a solid yet unspectacular genre film, but against the backdrop of real-life social injustice and unrest, it takes on new life, resonating with the urgency of its time.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 4, 2020

Body Cam offers thrills that should please genre-enthusiasts, but the project sadly misses the boat in capturing its grander conceptual design.

| Jun 3, 2020

An interesting combo of horror and social commentary. Walking the path carved out by fellow African-American director Jordan Peele. Unfortunately it does not live up to Peele's standards.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 1, 2020

Body Cam is a supernatural vengeance fantasy that is garishly aware of the hot button topic it's exploiting, and that is in no way a bad thing.

| May 23, 2020

Unfortunately, there just isn't quite enough story to satisfactorily push it to a feature length and the result is a story that never develops any discernible tension.

| May 22, 2020

Watching Vitthal aim high and not quite make it is still preferable to watching so many other horror film-makers remain satisfied with lazy regurgitation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 22, 2020

Grisly ghost story isn't good, but some parts are gripping.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 21, 2020

This supernatural revenge thriller aims to shock-bones are crunched, bodies are flung-but ends up being murky at best, boring at worst.

| Original Score: C- | May 21, 2020

A pedestrian script and execution leave its good concept and message stranded. [Full review in Spanish]

| May 20, 2020

Despite the ripeness and flammability of its material, the movie feels oddly distant, the screenplay marred by weak scares, graceless plotting and dashed-off characters.

| May 19, 2020

"Body Cam" has a star and director who bring nuance to the work, injecting understated gravity into an entertaining, unsettling movie.
