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)

HERE, EVERYONE HAS A SECRET OR WILL
Brng & 2 lng - even it its actually kinda short. So, skip it.
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.
Cam2Cam, but straight to boredom...
Well, I will say that "Cam2Cam" started out interesting enough, I mean as it deals with the topic of people spying on you on webcam and the internet and pretending to be someone they're not.
And then when someone was killed and beheaded I thought yeah okay this movie could be good fun. Well, that was just not to be.
The movie quickly cascaded into becoming boring, pointless and just downright ridiculous. It was so hard to the the storyline and script that writers Marie Gautier, Davy Sihali and Joel Soisson had put together seriously.
And little did it help that the characters in this 2014 movie were essentially just faceless mannequins milling about with almost no material to work with. I could not honestly put my finger on any single character and claim to have had an interest. I am sure that the actors and actresses were doing good enough jobs with their performances, but they literally had nothing to work with.
"Cam2Cam" quickly lost its appeal and just sunk into pointlessness. In fact, it grew so stale and boring that I actually ended up giving up on it. And I honestly have no intention whatsoever of ever returning to finishing the movie.
If you enjoy thrillers or horror, do yourself a favor and give "Cam2Cam" a wide berth.
My rating of director Joel Soisson's movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value and editing of the movie.
