‘Cam’ Trailer: What Happens When An Internet Cam Girl Gets Replaced…By Herself?
In this day and age, you can get anything and everything online, especially when it comes to pornography. There are even sites where you can watch guys and girls live on webcam and pay money to get them to perform certain activities, sometimes even those that are non-sexual. But one cam girl is about to find out what happens when the world of social networking creepily turns on her just as she’s finding online fame in the Netflix original thrillerCam.

Taking a cue from sites like Chaturbate and CamSoda, this new thriller finds a cam girl named Alice (Madeline Brewer) suddenly replaced on her site of choice by a girl who looks and sounds exactly like her. But it’s not her. Somehow, her identity has been stolen, and it’s throwing her entire life and financial flow into upheaval, not to mention driving her positively crazy.
Our own Marisa Mirabal caught thefilm at Fantastic Fest earlier this year, and she wrote, “While the twists are ample, the film’s ending results in a fairly cursory climax void of definitive resolution and depth. However,Camis a multi-layered existential thriller with captivating pacing and unique experimental storytelling.”
Having seenCammyself, my feelings on the ending are the same. But that doesn’t stop the rest of the movie from being suspenseful and thrilling, especially with such a solid performance from Madeline Brewer in the lead, as well as her mysterious online doppelganger.
Camis directed byDaniel Goldhaberand written and produced byIsa Mazzei. It hits Netflix onNovember 16, 2018.
It’s impossible not to be charmed by Alice, who despite her risqué career path maintains an innocent worldview, close relationship with her mother and younger brother, and supportive network of camgirl friends. She’s effervescent and warm and full of ambition — sex work simply seems like the easiest way to break away from the the small-town fate those around her have succumbed to. But one day, Alice wakes to find another girl who looks just like her has commandeered her cam channel and username, and this girl has no rules or boundaries. Alice wants nothing more than to take back her page and her life before it’s too late to save either.
