Camera Obscura Ratings & Reviews
The Wolfman Cometh
Patrick Cavanaugh
Mostly pays off its ambiguous and psychological premise but feels unsure of itself, keeping itself too vague to its own detriment...there's nothing the film really does wrong, so if the concept sounds interesting, you're sure to enjoy it.
Wicked Horror
Joey Keogh
There are enjoyable moments scattered throughout... But, for the most part, Camera Obscura falls kind of flat.
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
Camera Obscura is the rare horror film that fails with style.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
It's evident from his work here that Koontz is a huge admirer of the horror genre, and I'm genuinely curious to see what he can do on his next effort.
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
As a horror film, Camera Obscura disappoints.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Jacob Knight
Koontz's feature debut is a sturdy, adult scare picture, which is a treat unto itself.
Film Inquiry
C.H. Newell
One of the strongest elements in Camera Obscura is that, regardless if Jack is losing touch with reality or the camera is haunted, the whole story is itself a metaphor for the horror of PTSD.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Camera Obscura squanders its intriguing premise with a ham-fisted execution.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
A Twilight Zone-worthy story obscured minute by minute with tonal inconsistencies, convoluted plot turns, and a highly unlikable lead character.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
Death follows a traumatized war photographer home from Afghanistan in this tricky thriller that loses momentum early on.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
None of this makes sense.
IndieWire
Michael Nordine
Though born of an inventive idea, "Camera Obscura" comes out underdeveloped.
New York Times
Andy Webster
Nothing if not an exhaustive compendium of fright-film motifs.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
"Camera Obscura" lurches between gory thriller sequences and dreary character development, and never develops any momentum.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Fans of John Carpenter will likely receive a brief contact high from recognizable cinematic construction, but the overall effort is more disappointing than distressing.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
The implied conditional logic governing the camera's curse doesn't extend to the film's amateurish discontinuities ...
Variety
Dennis Harvey
[A] promising if imperfect debut feature.
Slant Magazine
Henry Stewart
The filmmaker has a bad habit of dropping the psychological inquiries to dully go through the genre motions.
