Featured review
Undermined By Its Insufferable Protagonist
From the director of Host comes a new found-footage horror once again set in the midst of the ongoing pandemic but this time is unable to duplicate the freshness & ingenuity of his previous outing. Dashcam conjures a few effective scares and is able to sustain its intensity once things escalate but the film as a whole is also consistently undermined by its insufferable protagonist.
Directed by Rob Savage, the problem with his latest feature is that it provides zero incentive to why any of us should care about what happens to the vile & vexatious mouthpiece it puts at its centre, plus her actions only has us wishing for the worst. It is a deliberate choice no doubt but not one that's thought through coz more could've been achieved with a character worth giving a damn about.
While the dramatic portions are weak, the film delivers on the horror front and features several chilling & unsettling moments with its clever setups & savage thrills. Once again, the jump scares are well-executed, plus there's ample gore in store. It also has a visceral, nightmarish quality yet lacks the immersive element to make it count. Lastly, Annie Hardy plays her own fictional version and easily gets on everyone's nerves.
Overall, Dashcam unleashes an unrelenting assault on the senses in both good & bad ways but the film's scare factor is also severely diminished by the problematic main character who remains an annoying, repulsive & grating presence at all times. Still, Savage's latest film isn't without its merits and even manages to be occasionally tense, thrilling & unsettling once things begin to go haywire. A missed opportunity of sorts but worth a shot anyway.
