Body Cam

Watching Vitthal aim high and not quite make it is still preferable to watching so many other horror film-makers remain satisfied with lazy regurgitation.

Despite the ripeness and flammability of its material, the movie feels oddly distant, the screenplay marred by weak scares, graceless plotting and dashed-off characters.

"Body Cam" has a star and director who bring nuance to the work, injecting understated gravity into an entertaining, unsettling movie.

A B-movie that turns its violent rage on corrupt Los Angeles cops should be better than Body Cam.

It is moody, suspenseful, kind of strange and really gory... But I was surprised by how much I liked it and admired the ambition of it.

There is a clear battle between the film's desire for either realism or fantasy&#59; Body Cam uses horror as a cure-all.

... it raises more questions than answers, making for an unfulfilling experience, no matter how hard the cast and crew have tried to sell it.

Just barely elevates above being a rote horror movie when it starts jabbing the hot button late in the third act.

It doesn't always work due to a lack of fright and tension, but the picture still thrives as an exercise in grief and trauma with horror elements upholding the drama at hand.

The scariest thing about this movie is how it was able to see the future. [Full Review in Spanish]
