Thirst Trap

A movie about an online sex worker without any sex or nudity? Actress was super pretty and looked amazing in the lingerie but it's not enough to save this after school special of a movie. Caught this tonight on Tubi after it being suggested to me, and I'm sorry I even wasted my time. Visually the movie was ok with the whole pink cam girl vibe. The plot was very promising but missed the mark with a low budget and B grade acting. Definitely feel like actual nudity would have saved this from being a complete disappointment. If anything girls thinking about becoming cam girls can take something from this movie as a psa.

Well-written and directed. I love the narration by the main character and her inner monologue, which was witty and enjoyable, especially when she faced the camera as an aside , to make her point.

I was very locked in after a few minutes and some of the things visually that jumped out at me was the all pink coloring and the whole home based in pink. I immediately believed that in real life , this is an extension of the creator and her personal touch she adds to the movie.

It also shows the scary side of any sex -driven business and the risk a woman takes, no matter how she disguises herself in public.

Men just see her as an object, a commodity. A piece of meat

I had no idea what I was getting into, with no idea what the movie was about, and I was kept in suspense and some laughs.

I wanted to write an honest review after watching the movie objectively.

I really loved it.

Thirst Trap, directed by Chantal Massuh and starring Grace Gordon as the cam girl Riley Ann, is an unflinching exploration of the dark underbelly of the online sex work industry. Massuh's masterful direction blends psychological thriller elements with deep social commentary. What starts as a seemingly glamorous and empowering portrayal of digital independence quickly unravels into a gripping, heart-pounding descent into fear and danger.

Thirst Trap serves as a sobering reflection on the fragile boundary between digital life and personal safety. The film's exploration of identity, privacy, and exploitation feels disturbingly relevant in today's hyperconnected world. It forces the audience to confront the dehumanizing gaze of an exploitative society, while championing the agency of its protagonist in a world that wants to strip it away. Grace Gordon brings an incredible emotional range to her role, shifting from empowered confidence to haunting vulnerability as Riley's life spirals out of control under the threat of an obsessed stalker.

Production design. Outstanding!

Costuming. Perfect! Everything from the bedroom to walking down Hollywood Boulevard in the big red coat. I get her. I feel for her and I can appreciate her character development and growth and ultimate change in the end. Love the original score. It gave me the feeling of watching something like Blade Runner or any John Carpenter film.

Grace definitely grabs your attention and holds onto it the entire time. It's quite obvious that the Director made her feel like she could do this in front of the camera and feel completely comfortable in this role. Not an easy thing to pull off. Overall, impressive, great job to you, your cast, and your crew.

The suspense carries you throughout the entire movie from beginning to end. Simple and well told story with classic Hollywood / Los Angeles scenes as a backdrop to this modern thriller. Keeping you guessing is done perfectly while keeping the main character likable and making you want to cheer them on. This film really hits close to the heart with those who work in the SW world. The independence, struggle, and the fear of being a cam girl come across very clearly. The film also paints a picture of how crazy users can get to even use these cam based platforms. Not sure how these people can interact with the real world. A+++
