When it comes to found-footage horror, the line between accountability and paranoia has never felt thinner. And on March 13, Shudder is set to blur that line even further with the debut of BODYCAM, the latest nightmarish offering from filmmaker Brandon Christensen.
The official trailer has arrived, and if first impressions mean anything, this one isn’t just about what’s caught on tape — it’s about what’s watching back.
In BODYCAM, two police officers respond to what appears to be a routine domestic dispute. But when the situation spirals into a shocking and tragic accident, panic sets in. Facing public outrage and potential career-ending consequences, the officers make a decision that only deepens the nightmare: they attempt to cover it up. There’s just one problem. Their body cameras aren’t the only devices recording what happened.
What follows, at least from the footage teased in the trailer, is a descent into surveillance horror, moral unraveling, and supernatural dread. The tension builds not just from the procedural fallout, but from the creeping realization that something unseen may have witnessed every choice they made.
Christensen is no stranger to turning everyday fears into something monstrous. With a résumé that includes Still/Born, Z, The Puppetman, and Night of the Reaper, he’s carved out a space in modern horror by exploring psychological and supernatural terror through grounded, often domestic scenarios. His knack for daylight horror — where the safety of the sun offers no protection — has become a calling card, and BODYCAM appears to lean directly into that discomfort.
Written by Ryan Christensen and Brandon Christensen, the film stars Jaime Callica, Sean Rogerson, Catherine Lough Haggquist, Angel Prater, and Keegan Connor Tracy. From the looks of the trailer, performances are anchored in realism, which only heightens the chaos once the supernatural elements begin creeping into frame.
Found-footage has seen its share of evolutions over the years, from home invasions to cult horrors to digital-age nightmares. What makes BODYCAM intriguing is its collision of true-crime tension, police procedure, and something far more sinister lurking behind the lens. It’s a concept that feels timely, uncomfortable, and primed for conversation.
We’ll be sitting down for press day with director Brandon Christensen to dig deeper into the film’s themes, the challenges of balancing social commentary with supernatural horror, and how he approached crafting tension in a genre that demands authenticity.
BODYCAM premieres on Shudder March 13. Watch the trailer now — and ask yourself: if the camera never lies, what happens when it sees everything?
