If you\u2019re feeling like you want to cram some horror in this holiday season, there\u2019s one film with only hours left on Netflix<\/a> that you can easily fit in before it\u2019s gone from the streaming platform. With a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and a plot that can only be described as both insane and timely, you won\u2019t be disappointed in taking a chance on this one. It\u2019s smart and full of suspense, unlike anything that\u2019s attempted to tell the same kind of story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cam, which dropped back in 2018, was written by Isa Mazzei, who herself is a former cam girl. Wanting to detail the lives of cam girls, she originally considered filming a documentary, but ultimately decided that a horror movie would better tell the story she was interested in. Speaking with Vice<\/a>, she said, \u201cI felt like often, for people that I talk to about camming, no matter how much I would explain it or show it to them, they still didn\u2019t fully get it.\u201d Centering around a camgirl named Alice, who finds that a doppelganger of herself has locked her out of her own account and is performing violent and gruesome acts on camera, Cam takes the audience on a wild, saturated ride through a movie that is horror, thriller, and mystery all in one. It\u2019s gritty and beautiful\u2014the perfect techo-horror.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cam Is Not Your Average Horror Movie<\/p>\n

The majority of the inspiration for the plot comes from Mazzei\u2019s own experience as a camgirl when her videos were pirated and reposted to other sites without her knowledge or consent. Rotten Tomatoes sums the film up the best: \u201cA camgirl has her principles, until a mysterious woman who looks just like her takes over her channel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film takes sex work and turns the tropes and stereotypes associated with it on its head, allowing the main character to take back her agency in a big, albeit painful, way. It\u2019s sex positive and Hitchcockian at the same time\u2014two phrases I never expected putting side by side, but it works. Cam is queer, explicit, and embodies female rage in a way that most films shy away from. Critic Jody Sirkin<\/a> says about the film, \u201cWhat appears as a glossy social commentary, Cam develops into a multilayered techno-thriller that exposes the horrors of the online arena, as well as the experience of sex workers.\u201d Scott Weinburg of Thrillist says, \u201cThe script has a lot to say about the fear of being alone, the act of voyeurism, and the loss of identity, but it also works as a twisty mind-bender of a thriller\u2014thanks in large part to the stellar performance(s) by Madeline Brewer.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are officially only a few hours left to catch Cam streaming on Netflix, and there are way worse ways to kill a few hours on a Saturday. Will you be checking it out?
