Cam

Cam is a 2018 American psychological horror film directed by Daniel Goldhaber and written by Isa Mazzei, from a story by Goldhaber, Mazzei and Isabelle Link-Levy. The story is partially drawn from writer Mazzei's own experience working as a camgirl. The film is the first feature film for both Goldhaber and Mazzei. Despite critical acclaim, audiences had a very mixed response, notably criticizing the ending.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The entire movie is yet one of those "let's make the internet 'scary'" which ends up failing like all other films (except Searching which is actually good).
 * 2) The acting is really awkward to even watch. For example, Alice randomly cries when the fake Lola_Lola shoots herself.
 * 3) The trailer depicts on how "scary" the film will be, but it turns out to be a dumb excuse to make pornography films, except using the Internet, of course.
 * 4) The characters make stupid choices, especially Alice as she tells Lola that she wants to play a game, and ends up crushing her face.
 * 5) Terrible ending. Basically, what the ending could've been was Alice moving on from the Internet for a fresh start off the Internet, but instead, Alice makes a new account, showing that she is entirely obsessed with the Internet, even after everything that happened.
 * 6) What is Lola supposed to be? A ghost? A glitch? An alternative version of Alice?
 * 7) Lola isn't really a threatening villain as she's more enthusiastic than scary.
 * 8) The "You stole my face and now I'm gonna get it back" line is completely stupid and uncreative.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Amazing soundtrack, with Obsession by Gesaffelstein being one of them.
