There’s a particular ugliness to found-footage horror when the “camera” is supposed to be evidence—an official record, a tool of accountability, a window that shouldn’t blink. Shudder has released the trailer for “Bodycam,” a nightmarish body-camera shocker from Brandon Christensen (“Night of the Reaper,” “Still/Born”) that weaponizes that premise into something claustrophobic and mean.

The film arrives on Shudder Friday, March 13, and it’s a lean, 75-minute plunge built around a simple escalation: two police officers respond to a domestic dispute, the situation snaps into tragedy, and the instinct to control the narrative kicks in. The attempted cover-up is the human horror—until the supernatural one asserts itself, with the key twist baked into the logline: their body cameras aren’t the only things watching.
Christensen has carved out a lane in horror by yanking dread from the everyday—familial pressure points, parenting fears, the kind of normalcy that turns rancid under fluorescent light. That ethos tracks here, too, with the bodycam format doing double duty as style and trap: a perspective that feels “real,” then starts to feel like a sentence.
“Bodycam” stars Jaime Callica and Sean Rogerson, with Catherine Lough Haggquist, Angel Prater, and Keegan Connor Tracy in the supporting cast. Christensen co-wrote the script with Ryan Christensen and also produced alongside Chris Ball and Kurtis David Harder, with Clayton Moore serving as cinematographer.
If the hook is surveillance as punishment, the more unsettling idea is surveillance as an audience—one that doesn’t care about your justification, only what you’re willing to do when you think you can delete the record. Watch the trailer below.
