The goal here seems like it’s to capture as much pure chaos on the screen as possible, while raising the level of complexity involved in the shoot significantly from the clever DIY ethos of Host. Where Spree was a bitter and biting satire or critique of screenlife culture, however, we get the sense that Dashcam is rather more darkly humorous and aloof. for London, steals her ex-band mate’s car, and makes the wrong decision to give a ride to an elderly woman who is not what she seems.Īn indulgent and self-deluded livestreamer, as the protagonist of a found footage horror movie? Why does that sound so familiar? Well, it certainly seems like it has some echoes of Eugene Kotlyarenko’s Spree, which starred Stranger Things’ Joe Keery as another would-be star stuck toiling as a rideshare driver, who begins to kill his guests. As the synopsis reads:Īt the start of the pandemic, an indulgent and self-deluded livestreaming improv musician abandons L.A. It is, however, another horror film, and the just-released first trailer makes it clear that its intent is to be a particularly bonkers one. Dashcam is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, albeit perhaps not bound to the car quite as much as one might expect. Sadly because of the poor script this film suffers and the hone invasion side plays.whatever they were!? It is all a confusing mess.After successfully tapping into the pandemic-borne rise of Zoom in the short and sweet 2020 horror film Host, which is still streaming on Shudder, director Rob Savage has returned with another twist on the archetype of found footage. The slow drudge of 40+ minutes before anything actually happened had me occasionaly hovering over the remote and ffwd button.
Explained nothing and left you feeling unsatisfied. The script was quite frankly rubbish and nonsensical. (Especially with the over the top drama before it happened.intended to make us feel joy and empathy. Which was often unintentionally hilarious, how could these people not react to how someone is behaving!? Fail.īecause of this a supposed 'shocking' scene was hugely diluted and became more of a "meh" moment.
What spoilt it the most gor me was the completely unrealistic way people acted to certain scenarios. Some over acting in places but seen far far worse.
Shame it's no reflection of the final film.įor a film of this budget the acting was good. Reviewed by Jester222 3 / 10 Great trailer poor film.
