Fans of The Handmaid’s Tale know Emmy nominee Madeline Brewer as Janine, but horror lovers might know her best from the 2018 psychological thriller Cam.
The movie follows Brewer’s character Alice Ackerman, a camgirl who works hard to make money from the studio in her home. It’s a competitive job, and Alice is determined to win the coveted number one spot on the website. So much so, that she goes to very far lengths to make it happen.
Things go from strange to frightening when one day Alice goes to log into the site and she’s unable to. However, she can still see herself on the screen streaming for users somehow. The person using her account is identical to her and has a studio just like hers, which makes no sense. Alice first thinks it’s a trick being played on her until she realizes something seriously sinister is going on.
Alice does her best trying to figure out who or what this replica of herself is, but it becomes difficult for her to know who to trust.
She realizes other camgirls using the website also have women imitating them, which makes things even more confusing. In the end, Alice takes matters into her own hands with her replica and it’s an ending you won’t forget!
Made with a low budget, Cam was certainly a success as it received critical acclaim and currently holds a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
