Bodycam 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

*Bodycam* feels like suffering through a 75-minute anxiety attack. I thought "found footage" films had lost their ability to shock me. Then I watched Brandon Christensen’s chilling new movie and was reminded of the power this horror subgenre possesses when executed correctly.

Most found footage films struggle to devise a convincing reason why characters keep their cameras rolling amidst terrifying and potentially life-threatening circumstances. This film offers a perfect solution: all the action is captured by the body cameras worn by two police officers.

Director: Brandon Christensen
Writers: Brandon Christensen, Ryan Christensen
Stars: Jaime M. Callica, Sean Rogerson, Catherine Lough Haggquist

Those officers are Jackson (Jamie M. Callica) and Bryce (Sean Rogerson). They are called to the scene of a domestic dispute. Once they arrive at the address, the men discover a veritable house of horrors. A massive hole in the basement—leading to who knows where—is just one of the disturbing sights they encounter; another unsettling element is a mysterious symbol scrawled on the wall.

During their visit, a tragedy occurs—one involving a deceased infant, so viewer discretion is advised if this subject matter is sensitive or traumatic for you—and the officers' attempt to cover up the incident only serves to intensify the sinister presence associated with the home.

It is difficult to discuss *Bodycam* without venturing into spoiler territory, so the plot description ends here. What can be said without revealing story details is that this film is not for the faint of heart. Christensen goes all in on creating disturbing imagery, jump scares, and an unsettling atmosphere. Although the plot's events lack real-world plausibility, the mounting dread experienced by Jackson and Bryce possesses a ring of authenticity that immediately hooks the viewer.

The use of body cameras—devices designed to remain constantly active—eliminates the primary distraction inherent to the found-footage genre, allowing us to easily suspend our disbelief and fully immerse ourselves in what we are witnessing.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Dhurandhar's story unfolds against the backdrop of significant terrorist attacks in India, focusing particularly on harrowing incidents such as the hijacking of flight IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999, the Parliament attack in 2001, and the devastating 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect. The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king. Director: Rishab Shetty Writers: Rishab Shetty, Anirudh Mahesh, Shanil Guru Stars: Rishab ...
