Dashcam

Directed by Rob Savage1h 20m2022

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.

Our read: Dashcam (2022) reads as a heavy, breathless, surreal horror · supernatural · music entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
