Cam2Cam (2014) is a movie that I caught on Tubi last month. The storyline follows a young lady whose sister was brutally murdered in a Bangkok apartment. The sister moves into the same apartment, gets to know the residents and retraces her sisters footsteps. When a woman helping her disappears in a similar fashion to her sister she knows she's close to uncovering the killer...but how close?

This movie is directed by Joel Soisson (Maniac Cop 3) and stars Tammin Sursok (Pretty Little Liars), Ben Wiggins (The Witcher), Sarah Bonrepaux (The ABCs of Death), Jade Tailor (Aquarius) and Russell Geoffrey Banks (The Hangover Part II).

This movie was better than I anticipated and kept my attention until the final scene. The storyline is actually pretty solid and being filmed in Bangkok gave it additional elements that were interesting. Jade Tailor was absolutely smoking and the opening kill was solid with great blood splatter. I also liked the use of the monkey. The ax kills were also pretty good and the scene in the street with the police tracking him was awesome. Most of the date scenes and confessions felt unnatural and unrealistic, whether the character is telling the truth or lying. There is some worthwhile twists in this but I must say I didn't love the very ending.

Overall, this has some redeeming elements that make it worth a watch. I would score this a 5-5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Has some mid point plot spoilers, but not the ending

Cam2cam is NOT a hand held genre. The title refers to a web site where people video chat and can get "naughty or nice." The film opens with Lucy (Jade Tailor) involved in a video chat. Before long she realizes she is being played and then her head ends up in a sack. We know the killer is Russell (Russell Geoffrey Banks) and he soon dies. Allie (Tammin Sursok) is another American who takes over Lucy's apartment and appears to be investigating her murder.

So after 30 minutes, the story appears to be over, but there is more to the killings than just Russell as Allie digs deeper. The problem with this mystery, like a Scooby-Doo episode, is that there is a lack of characters to choose from.

Not the best thriller out there, but it does take place in Bangkok.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. Nudity (Jade Tailer, Sarah Bonrepaux, + brief male nudity)

So, was this script written with only one thought in mind? Every line of chat has to contain the maximum amount of acronyms and abbreviations! Seriously, does anyone really chat like that? I mean, ds ne1 rly cht lyk that?! In an sms, about 10 years ago, maybe.. but in online chat rooms and stuff? Looks forced is all I'm saying. And stupid.

Other than that.. Uhm, the movie is unfortunately quite boring. Not a lot happens. The story is not very interesting. That one web-cam chick there is pretty hot, and you know.. you feel kind of like a pervert for thinking so.

I would just not recommend this movie to anyone, really. If you love horror-ish movies about chatting and web-stuff, then perhaps, but there are still a lot of better choices out there. Unfriended/cybernatural is a much better pick.

Kind of a shame with this movie, because it is pretty well made. Just way to boring. The few "action-scenes" we get, are good. But they are few. Like, very few. Matter fact, where is the horror at all!? The acting is uneven, to say the least. It is a problem when a movie you expect to be horror, instead focuses on the "drama", as if to say: hey, we have a small budget, but we can make a gripping movie none the less! No, you can't.

Movies are made to entertain, that is their only purpose. So, when a movie is boring to the point of not being entertaining, well, that movie has pretty much failed, no? Yes. So pick another movie.
