Critics Consensus

Ambitious yet undercooked, Body Cam can't quite connect the dots between its genre thrills and socially aware themes.

Benjamin Lee Guardian 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. Rated: 3/5 May 22, 2020 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 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 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Variety "Body Cam" has a star and director who bring nuance to the work, injecting understated gravity into an entertaining, unsettling movie. May 19, 2020 Full Review Paul Lê Nightmare on Film Street There is a clear battle between the film's desire for either realism or fantasy; Body Cam uses horror as a cure-all. Rated: 7/10 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine ... it raises more questions than answers, making for an unfulfilling experience, no matter how hard the cast and crew have tried to sell it. Rated: 2/4 Aug 15, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider Just barely elevates above being a rote horror movie when it starts jabbing the hot button late in the third act.

O D pointless; not worth the time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Gish G Given the current tensions surrounding Policing in the US, this film offered a lot of potential, the mood and mysterious aspect looked good, and was actually quite creepy with some better than average effects for a B movie, however the one dimensional characters, bafflingly unrealistic behaviour and cardboard performance by Blige meant I couldn't go the distance. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Rosana B Gostei do to o teor sobrenatural-ficção, esperava algo realístico, surpreendida positivamente, a lentidão não atrapalha, Mary J. Blige esta maravilhosa, com a dor da perda do filho e a policial que banca detetive, além da trama de suspense, quem matou o menino surdo, toda a corrupção policial, tão real, quanto enojante… Ótimo desfecho, justo, e nem precisa de maiores explicações… Muito bom... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/22 Full Review Audience Member Its raw and eye opening, dangerous and crazy. Some of the things I've seen in this series, you can't make up, as the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. I watch every episode, every season, it makes me aware what kinds of dangers lurk around every corner regardless of age, race, heritage or sex. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is one of the biggest pieces of a shit movies I've ever watched in my entire life complete ass I'm totally serious Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a movie, ultimately, about two women who lost their black sons violently. This movie was great because Mary Blighe was really amazing. I didn't know who she was at the time, but what a great actress she is. The supporting cast was just as amazing as well. The story was well written, and perfectly directed but... This is about really bad white cops killing an unarmed black kid in a bad way and covering it up - and good thing we had the really really good black cops to find the killer(s) and bring justice to the black kid. Although that was the gist of it, and I hate, hate radical undertones of any type (we have enough in the real world), this movie was just too good to not provide 4 stars... However, Be Warned! It is very violent at times, hard to watch because of what happens to the young black kid, and horribly sad for the two mothers. I had a hard night's sleep after this.
