CAM is an interesting film and I've got to say probably the best found footage film I've seen in this type of budget and genre. I'm not much of a fan of most found footage, but this film has played it a little different from what I can see. Some might say it's a zombie movie, if it is, it's more in the vein of 28 days later, because no one dies and comes back to life. Some found footage films have a little too much camera shake, but CAM seems to have made just the right amount and very clever use of camera moves which look fairly random but wouldn't be. Little touches like that I find interesting, at one moment the camera is pointing backwards to capture the chase, but even this seems very natural. The begin of the film moves from drone footage to some high quality well filmed interiors, then Segues into found footage material that the directors want us to believe was made by amateur filmmakers. A few jump moments but if you're watching on a phone or laptop you'll probably be unaware. When I first watched the Blair Witch and everyone thought it was real, I was saying where did they keep all those camera batteries, this film even has a battery change in it. Even the titles have all the actors and crew in, but they have make it look as if they just helped get the film to the public in some way. I think that's the thing, it has all these problems, but in the end the film makers have made it look very real. The actors rant and rage their way through it, I quiet liked Carl, the comedian of the group, the know it all cameraman. There is also a nice weird electronic score. This film has a copyright date of 2013 so the narrative in this movie is amazingly strangely prophetic and without giving away any spoilers we can only just hope it's not totally prophetic with its a apocalyptic story line. Well watch it and cross your fingers that It doesn't all come true.
