Camera Obscura (2017)

Updated: Jul 31, 2019

I’m really not sure how I came across this, horrors aren’t usually my thing, especially bad ones. The acting here is really quite poor, even Christopher Denham is far from the quality of his performance in Billions. The premise is quite fun in an obvious way, Photographer with PTSD, starts to unravel further when he finally musters the courage to start shooting again with an old camera that has as much baggage as he has, capturing things on film that may not be there... yet. It’s really just a series of tropes, but despite its flaws it’s oddly enjoyable and for all its predictability it does manage to raise the pulse, but there’s no edge.

5/10
