About the film:
Premiered in the Midnight Madness selection at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. At the start of the pandemic, an indulgent and self-deluded livestreaming improv musician abandons L.A. for London, steals her ex-bandmate’s car, and makes the fateful decision to give a ride to an elderly woman who is not what she seems. The entire film is shot from the perspective of either hand-held iPhone or the car dashcam, as she livestreams her actions for viewers whose comments on the events are also displayed.
“Equal parts confounding, challenging, and insanely fun, “Dashcam” is horror at its most inventive.”
—Jude Dry for IndieWire
