Review of Cam (2018) by Shayne S — 28 Jan 2019
This was a positive surprise! The horror kept building up because the fear of getting locked out of your online account without being able to do anything about it felt so real, but also because I was afraid of the moment the film would become really exploitative and add a sexual assault scene or worse, but that never happened and I'm grateful for it.
The characters naturally appear half-dressed a lot during the story, but it's not filmed in a way that would make you uncomfortable while watching it. I mean they could have taken the easy way out and made this all about the ~difficulties and prejudices~ of working as a cam girl (boring), but it concentrates more on the subject of online identity and such.
Not sure if it actually succeeds to bring much new to that conversation, but it's a fun film. Well worth a watch.
