Killer Camera Monsters (2020)

 

After Adam’s girlfriend breaks up with him and takes the equipment and clients from their business, Adam looks for a camera so he can try to get some work.  He gets a bargain from a guy in a parking lot selling stuff out of his trunk.  The guy says the one rule for using this camera is always shoot with natural light. Never use artificial light because bad things will happen.

Adam doesn’t take him seriously and his first shoot is his new assistant using studio lighting. Later that night when Adam loads the photos onto his computer, the woman turns into a monster, kills her boyfriend, his roommate and dies as a result of the fight. The woman’s roommate hires a creepy detective to look into who did it after the worst police department in the world give up on the case one day into the investigation. 

Adam does another studio shoot and thinks its a coincidence that two people he’s shot have died. But he realizes it’s something more when during a photo shoot at someone’s home, the man turns into a monster and tries to kill him.  

When he figures out what is going on, he’s upset. But then he realizes this could be a good way to get back at his girlfriend and is excited to own the cursed camera.  

While it’s not great, it did keep my attention enough to watch the whole thing. The monsters are basically the same person with white makeup on their face and that’s that.  They’re not very scary. If you opened the door and your friend was standing there looking like that, you’d simply invite them in. You’d never think, oh my god my friend has turned into a monster!

Ridiculous dialogue

If you need someone to look into it further, I would suggest hiring a private detective. - police in response to roommate asking what they’ll do to solve the murder

My friend was killed and the police say they can’t do anything about it.
