Body Cam: Unsichtbares Grauen

The film starts out with an interesting enough story albeit with a cliche attempt at biased social commentary. The creepiness and tension is effective early on, but as everything starts coming together it became very predictable. The ending is completely ludicrous and unrealistic and throws the entire film off the rails in ridiculousness. While I will give the film's visual ambitions with creative photography and the decent effects some credit, I can't help but say this was a mediocre film overall. The acting was also fairly mediocre and I never really could take the characters seriously. Another case of a revenge thriller/horror where the social undertones are way too heavy handed to the point where the realism is thrown out the window to fit the director's biased vision.

I loved the basic premise of using the police body cam as a witness to some supernatural horror story, and placing the police force at the centre of it.

The film carries its weight alright. You wouldn't be disappointed if all you are after is some passtime as a fan of the genre.

However, some greater opportunity might have been missed along the lines. Maybe the overall feel was too much soaked in racialism. Some more diversity (like, a few decent white cops) could have helped build the story in a better, less politically correct but more "correct" direction.

What with all the recent events following the George Floyd murder, the treatment of Afro-Americans by law enforcement is a hot topic and it is understandable that they have merged the more simple premise with that particular kind of tension.

Still, the same creative team can come up with a better sequel in case they keep the "police body cam" at the center of supernatural horror, and invest less in contemporary topics.

Stealing a trope from the original X files, many of the scenes are filmed at night, in a variety of abandoned buildings which are constructed as mazes by the protagonist.

An angry ghost movie. No other explanation is needed. As a well trained senior officer she is a wild card who commits various felonies as she moves through the movie.

Worth a watch if you don't expect more than a little ultra violence filmed in dark spaces.

I think this non pretentious B-horror movie is quite good. If you loved movies like Mothman prophecies and Black and Blue this one is for you. As a B-movie horror fan, I have to say this one has the usual flaws like the script and acting, but on the other hand the execution of the story is pretty well done and some murder scenes are A+. Also, FX's are pretty decent. So, overall good entertainment during the quarentine if you're looking for some decent horror cop thriller.

I had no idea what this film was about when I started watching, but as the story unfurled I began to enjoy it. The acting isn't fantastic, and sadly Mary J Blige in the lead role was one of the weakest performances in the film.

Also sometimes the pace of movement was very deliberate instead of normal and this dissipated the air of unease that they were trying to build up.

The score was ok, it could have been great, but was also underpaced.

All in all I enjoyed watching it, for the decent scenes, good cinematography and good story. But I placed it at a 4 because the acting let it down as did small parts of the dialogue.
