Brian Costello Common Sense Media Some violence, teen drinking in drab horror movie. Rated: 1/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review William Bibbiani Bloody Disgusting So underdeveloped you'll want to shake it. Rated: 0.5/5 Sep 20, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a padded-out endeavor that can't quite justify a feature-length running time... Rated: 2/4 Aug 10, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com There's the whole Polaroid camera premise, which is unusual, but the rest of the film is a strictly paint-by-numbers affair, likely to bore seasoned genre admirers.

D P I understand the importance of the horror genre in the movie industry. It's an entry point for directors and actors to move up the ladder. But that is also the reason why this genre is littered with so many subpar films. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Audience Member Acting is so bad and pathetic Story barley makes sense The overall reason why it kills is dreadful and How you can hurt someone thru the picture is dumb and pointless Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Scott R Took a chance on this one and I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was well done and the storyline was decent with a nice twist which always helps. Special effects/CGI was well done in some places but really lacked on occasion. It’s worth a bag of popcorn and a sit down. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review The H I've watched this movie twice (years apart) & enjoyed it both times, I think it's underrated as far as cheap thrills/spooky story movies go. A Haunted Camera is a unique premise & the photographs being "clues" & having powers connected to the people in them is cool! A con is I wish certain people got more screen time & the scares could've been amped up a little. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Kevin L Somehow I made it almost five minutes before I had to wash my eyes out with soap. Can anyone make a horror movie where the characters act like an actual sentient being? Gawd, these B flicks are worse than formula, they're formula with half of the ingredients missing. I wish there were negative stars available to rate garbage like this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Omar G Polaroid (2019), 3/5 stars rating. Hot Babes like Madelaine Petsch she was like Marione Crane or Tina Gray. Katie Steven, Priscilla Quintana and Kathryn Prescott the protagonist written like the shy Alice Johnson from A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 The Dream Master (1988) she which pictures of her friends put in the mirror. There is one of the group who The Creature murders his girlfriend and blames the protagonist like Mackinley from Final Destination 3 (2006) and dies in jail like Rod Lane from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). The plot was like A Nightmare on Elm Street with a killer who turns supernatural to take revenge after the death. It also resembles Ouija (2014) where Lin Shaye an old woman tricks the protagonist or Truth or Dare (2018) by Lucy Hale. The Creature was like Freddy Krueger, the murderous father, the Sheriff played by Mitch Pilegi knows the serial killer as Lieutenant Donald Thompson from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). In the end, the protagonist Bird saves the day at the cost of her ring and pinky fingers as a yakuza retribución or give in sacrifice like the films Hostel (2005), Sinister 2 (2015) and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) where the protagonists survive but lose their ring and pinky fingers.
