2016 Films: #9. 13 Cameras


May 27th in Chicago, on On Demand viewing. My wife and I were looking for a horror/thriller film to watch on a Friday night and we came across this little gem. It's not much but it's a nice little thriller or bloodless horror film from writer/director by Victor Zarcoff. Claire and Ryan are a young couple expecting their first child and moving into a new rental property. Gerald the landlord, is a creepy dude to say the least and he seems to take a shine to new tenants. So much show that he installs cameras around the house to watch them, Claire mostly. Gerald gets to see their lives unfold and takes physical pleasure in doing so, especially when Ryan brings home his blonde, nubile assistant for some off-site pleasantries. Things start to unravel and Gerald has to take care of things.

The picture received a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes and has a run time of 87 minutes. It goes by quickly and doesn't drag anything out. There are some plot holes for sure but not enough to get into a twist over.
