Dashcam

About This Movie

So, Dashcam is one of those films that really captures the raw, claustrophobic anxiety of the pandemic era. The film's shot entirely through a webcam, which gives it this gritty, almost voyeuristic feel. You’ve got this self-absorbed musician, and right off the bat, her character is pretty unlikable but compelling in a way. The pacing is relentless, cranking up the tension as she picks up this elderly woman, who’s definitely not as she seems. The practical effects are quite effective, lending a visceral quality to the horror. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and it really plays with your expectations. It's unique in its execution – a real testament to how creativity can thrive under restrictions. Worth diving into if you appreciate experimental horror.
