What to Know

Critics Consensus

Smart and suspenseful, CAM is a techno-thriller that's far more than the sum of its salacious parts -- and an outstanding showcase for Madeline Brewer in the leading role.

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. Go to Full Review
Cody Corrall Chicago Reader 01/03/2019
3/4
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. Go to Full Review
Ty Burr Boston Globe 11/28/2018
"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. Go to Full Review

4/5
This authentic and empathetic look at sex work set against a backdrop of a horror film works a lot better than you'd expect thanks to Brewer's committed performance and Mazzei's impressive screenplay. Go to Full Review

3/5
It relies on the main character’s confusion and anxieties surrounding her situation in order to build suspense. Go to Full Review

Gabriel T @GabrielFagundes Aug 11 That one is really. The tension it creates with its mystery is incredible. The story gets you because the movie can make care about the protagonist, her trajectory and problems See more David R Aug 9 Was a very interesting movie. See more Jens B @Jens97 Aug 1 The way the sense of fear, paranoia, and social isolation is built up here works brilliantly. Unfortunately, I stumbled over a few parts of the script. And what exactly the doppelganger is all about – I have no idea. In any case, Madeline Brewer gives a superb performance. All in all, a horror debut worth seeing. See more Sai W Jul 21 Horrible, pretentious and desperate. It's almost like a modern artist throwing paint on the walls and saying it's art. I don't understand why it has such a high rating. It is not worth your time. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug Jun 25 Not sure if the premise is plausible or not, but it was still a good story. Madeline Brewer was terrific. See more James E May 27 Shockingly scary and relevant to some situations. Worth a watch and will keep you invested the whole time. Impressively, it doesn’t get distracted by the inherent sexuality of the film, and allows itself to feel its intensity and emotions regardless of the characters professions. None of the sexuality or uncomfortable moments feel out of place or uncomfortable. See more Read all reviews
