Cam - The House of Violent Desire
The House of Violent Desire
Awoken by screams in the night, young Evelyn Whipley is found drenched in blood and mysteriously bound to the bed - A Gothic Horror set in the 1940s, a psychosexual thriller disguised as traditional Ghost Story.
"When (the father) comes back and he’s completely covered in blood and naked and hairy and screaming and coming in from a storm and making all these accusations about his family and his wife and himself, that’s when it got more exciting." - Vanessa
"It is beautifully shot. It looks really good and it’s pretty well acted although there’s some excess." - Jeff
"It plays out like a really drugged-out, sexed-up Dark Shadows series of episodes." - Doc

Cam
Alice, an ambitious camgirl, wakes up one day to discover she's been replaced on her show with an exact replica of herself.
"Madeline Brewer really was able to embody a great representation of a woman, the ability to be all these different things and seen in all these different ways and be strong and scared at the same time." - Vanessa
"Cam is Daniel Goldhaber’s first feature and I’m impressed with how well he handled this. It could’ve been a tough concept to get across, … and it could’ve been confusing but I think he did it very well." - Jeff
"Building a world, drafting this Alice-Lola character, tackling a variety of themes … keeping them focused and together, there’s so much going on and it’s incredibly fascinating." - Doc
