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.

Jourdain Searles

Bitch Media

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.

Cody Corrall

Chicago Reader

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.

Rated: 3/4

Ty Burr

Boston Globe

"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.

Horror Queers Podcast

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.

Rated: 4/5

It relies on the main character’s confusion and anxieties surrounding her situation in order to build suspense.

The psychological thriller Cam...turns sex work stereotypes on their heads to tell a chilling story of power and agency.

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed this movie and think it's worth a watch. Definitely an original idea and executed well. Was it perfect? No, but it kept me hooked! If you're looking for a frightening, scary movie, this isn't it. But you will be given an interesting concept of a movie with great acting and solid characters.

Women are objectified in the name of "horror." It isn't empowering! There's also no conclusion.

Filme ruim, só não é horrível porque o filme estava interessante, o final foi horrível sem explicação e sem sentido, como a garota fala com ela mesma e foda-se.
