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.

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. Jan 29, 2019 Full Review 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 Jan 3, 2019 Full Review 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. Nov 28, 2018 Full Review Trace Thurman 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 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) It relies on the main character’s confusion and anxieties surrounding her situation in order to build suspense. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Frederick Blichert Vice The psychological thriller Cam...turns sex work stereotypes on their heads to tell a chilling story of power and agency.

Gabriel T 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 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review David R Was a very interesting movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Jens B 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Sai W 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review acsdoug D Not sure if the premise is plausible or not, but it was still a good story. Madeline Brewer was terrific. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review James E 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 05/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
