Cam, much like 2017's Get Out, is a reminder of horror's potential for fostering awareness and understanding. And it works-we root for Alice all the way to the end.

| Jan 29, 2019

Horror, at its best, reconstructs the formula of the genre and reflects what frightens us in a particular moment. Simply put, Cam is about the terror of getting locked out of your online accounts and losing your manufactured identity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 3, 2019

"Cam" plays with both psychological-horror genre tropes and darker existential themes, and its clear-eyed view of the drab realities of a cam-girl's life is both refreshing and ultra-creepy.

| Nov 28, 2018

The terror of Cam is not jump scares or gore. What makes Cam scarier than so much other horror is that it leaves its protagonist out to dry.

CAM is less the conservative morality tale about contemporary sex work as a brief synopsis might suggest, but instead an engrossing, thoughtful film about the volatility of online identities ... and a powerful exploration of women, labor and sexuality

| Nov 16, 2018

Ultimately as cheeky as it is scary, Cam is a seduction disguised as a sermon, and it's all the better for it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 16, 2018

A fascinating conversation starter driven by a great performance. Turn it on.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 16, 2018

If the first half of Cam is pleasantly episodic and purringly tense, the latter half-in which Alice searches for her hacker-is clever, inventive, and wonderfully evocative.

| Nov 15, 2018

Cam's Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei enter the horror genre with a frightening expose of femininity and sexuality in the 21st century.

| Nov 15, 2018

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

| Nov 15, 2018

An at-times too-elusive but overall engaging peek behind the curtain at the lives of "cam girls."

| Nov 14, 2018

[A] remarkably accomplished thriller...

| Nov 12, 2018

Cam is a suspenseful mind-bender with plenty of timely feminist subtext.

| Nov 9, 2018

It's Brewer's show all the way, and she paints Alice as a fun flirt, with a co-ed vibe that's designed to attract her clients - a persona she determinedly projects and protects.

| Nov 9, 2018

What ensues is SF horror evoking Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it is also a smart allegory of the commodification and appropriation of our online identities.

| Oct 15, 2018

Should appeal to genre fans looking for something different - but not too different - from the norm.

| Jul 26, 2018

An excellent showcase for Brewer, who carries this movie through so many tense passages and helps viewers immediately recognize the complicated human behind the camera.

| Jul 24, 2018

Cam is a rather brilliant contemporary take on the Hitchcockian identity thriller, a feminist update on David Lynch and Brian De Palma by way of Unfriended.

| Original Score: B | Jul 24, 2018

It's believable enough to scare you off social media... if only for a couple of minutes.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 20, 2018
