...a padded-out endeavor that can't quite justify a feature-length running time...

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.

Rated: D

I've seen more than one movie about camera; most are about the Polaroid camera. I think this may have been the best one. I recommend checking this one out.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
