Game Camera

GAME CAMERA tells, through found video footage, the story of four friends who go on a hunting trip in an area that had just prior been the scene of a military accident which was speculated to have released a secret bioweapon subatance into the environment.

The production values of this film seem almost at home-movie level, the story is not particularly innovative, the cast is small, and yet....the film has a certain charm which led me to ultimately enjoy watching it.

The four characters are nicely fleshed out, they really seem like individuals rather than tropes, even though some of them have stereotypical aspects (especially the leader of the group). Their interactions with each other seemed natural, and it was nice to see political commentary used as a plot point without outright demonizing either side.

The buildup of doom was steady, and the change in their personalities due to the poison was plausibly presented.

Of course we know how most found footage films end, so no surprise there, but the film nicely managed to keep hope up for a bit.

GAME CAMERA is a fun little found footage horror diversion.
