Brian Costello Common Sense Media Some violence, teen drinking in drab horror movie. Rated: 1/5 Feb 28, 2020 Full Review William Bibbiani Bloody Disgusting So underdeveloped you'll want to shake it. Rated: 0.5/5 Sep 20, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a padded-out endeavor that can't quite justify a feature-length running time... Rated: 2/4 Aug 10, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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 Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa L 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review D P 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Scott R 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 02/09/25 Full Review The H 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Kevin L 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
