Cam (2018)

I actually enjoyed the first 30-50 minutes, had me thinking so many different things throughout, but then the ending became so stupid, I'm becoming very frustrated with these terrible endings with modern horror/thriller movies, luckily imdb reviewer's are more than likely spot on so in future I shall read them before watching a film!

Fmovies: Good plot, amazing actress, but the ending basically doesn't explain anything. It's like the movie has been cut into two halves except the second half is none existent

Weird, kind of intriguing to watch, also kind of cringe worthy at the same time. It kept me guessing a little bit, and I guess this is what kept me watching to the end. By the end of the movie though I wish I hadn't. I feel like they had the opportunity to go in a different direction with this and they chose the ending that you see in the movie. Kind of ruined it for me. I feel like women may actually appreciate this movie more than guys, funny enough because it's web cam girl(s) modelling their bodies. I could be wrong about this though. I watched it until the end, so I'll give it a pass. 5/10

Cam fmovies. The film starts out quite strong with an interesting concept and keeps you intrigued for about half an hour. Unfortunately it then begins to run off the rails up until the climax, where I just didn't know what was going on anymore. The movie doesn't bother giving you any clear answers and ends on a somewhat disappointing note.

CAM is also one of those movies that makes you wonder, why the protagonist acts the way she does. She is portrayed as a quite reasonable girl in the beginning, but her actions become more and more incomprehensible and stupid as the story goes on. What's more, the movie tries to explore different themes throughout its plot (mainly the cam girl's family life), but these efforts don't pay off because of the shallow side characters.

In the end, CAM feels like an overlong BLACK MIRROR episode focusing on the internet's dark side with very moderate success.

At first, I thought this is going to be a straightforward movie about internet dangers or an average cliché cat and mouse/stalker mystery horror. I was wrong, it is more than that ... it tries to cover many hot subjects of today's society including the desirability in the digital world and how far you are willing to go and expose yourself for fame or money. Inherently, internet dangers and identity theft are presented in a creative way in my opinion.

Competition and low self esteem are also key components that drive the action and the decisions of the main character.

But due to the lead actress the movie does a very nice job in showing not only the dark side of internet but also the dark side within people. The script is simple but tight, effective and the directing and editing were also good.

During the beginning, I thought some supporting cast's lines were poorly written but after the first half I got caught in this eerie, almost virtual feel to the "reality".

Warning spoilers:

Some reviewers are complaining about the loose ends and about the fact that the ending remains unexplained. What is there to explain? Arnold discovered the pattern: Most chat companies use an algorithm that analyses the girl's behavior and creates a virtual girl. Why? Because of the productivity and the income. A virtual girl could be online 24/7 and demands no share of profit. It's happened before with "baby girl", but she couldn't fight back since she was dead. I think she wasn't randomly chosen but due to reasons that include the recent increasing popularity of her persona but also the fact that she worked "freelance".

I just watched this movie and for the most part it kept me intrigued to know what's going on. In saying that I'm not really sure I enjoyed it, I just kept watching to see how it ended.

I think the character Tinker wasn't really developed well enough. Mostly I think this movie holds your attention because its about the 'dark' side of the internet.
