So far so good? So far so bad? So far so unfair? It gets worse. A heavily traumatized teen, who's been blaming herself for years for the car-crash in which her father was killed, gets to become an inadvertent serial-killer by using a camera that she doesn't realize kills people. You gotta love the film's sense of justice.
Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see but it passes ninety minutes well enough if you like horror movies. The special effects are mostly pretty good and while the deaths are fairly scary they aren't gory. The cast is solid Kathryn Prescott in particular impresses as Bird. you'll certainly want to watch in a darkened room to see everything. There is a fine atmosphere outside snow is always falling and indoors are mostly quite dark. The explanation for the camera's deadly properties is good and features a nice twist. The idea is obviously fairly silly but it is effective and provides plenty of good scares, as well as the expected jump scares. The premise may be more than a little similar to that of 'Ring' only involving having ones picture taken with a cursed camera rather than watching a cursed video. Is the camera cursed and if so will they find a solution before those in the group photo all die? This is a pretty decent little horror film. the shadow is no longer on his photograph it is on Avery's picture! After she dies Bird makes the connection between the shadow and the deaths. Later she gets a call telling her that her co-worker has died. That evening friends drag her to a party where she takes a group picture and her friend Avery takes a selfie. She takes his picture and notices a strange shadow on the image as it is an old camera she doesn't think much of it. One day she is given an old 1970s Polaroid camera by a co-worker at the antique shop where she works. She is a keen photographer but is less keen on being photograph. Bird Fitcher is a high schooler in a small American town.
