Netflix viewing on November 23rd. I came across this title while searching online for thrillers/horror films to be on the lookout for streaming wise. I briefly read about it and it seemed like it was interesting enough to take a chance on.
This psychological horror/thriller is directed by Daniel Goldhaber and stars "Crazy Janine" from The Handmaid's Tale as Alice. Alice has an online business as a cam girl under the name of "Lola" where she does things for probably an all male online clientele. Alice wants to crack the Top 50 and even get to the number one spot. Alice is doing well but once she breaks the top 50, things take a turn for the worse. Alice ends up being shut out of her account but her shows are still going on.
During the course of her investigation, she makes a discovery about the website's number one cam girl, Candy. Alice then makes a last ditch effort to get her life back.
The film was written by Isa Mazzei and is partially drawn from her own experience as a cam girl. This was a pretty good thriller. One minute Alice is riding high and then the rug gets pulled out from underneath her. She struggles to cope and get things back on track but everything seems to backfire. Goldhaber builds up the tension as Alice gets closer to the answer.
The film received a 94% Rotten Tomatoes rating which might be a bit high but this is a really interesting picture. Solid performances all around. Very suspenseful with good pacing. It's worth watching.
