Wiki.
Dashcam is a 2021 computer screen horror film directed by Rob Savage and written by Gemma Hurley, Savage, and Jed Shepherd. The film stars Annie Hardy, Amer Chadha-Patel, and Angela Enahoro. The entire film is shot from the perspective of Hardy's hand-held iPhone, as she livestreams her actions for viewers whose displayed. The film follows Hardy, playing a semi-fictionalized version of herself, as she visits a friend in London amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and finds herself in a series of nightmarish events after giving a strange woman a ride in her car. The film is produced by Jason Blum through his Blumhouse Productions banner, alongside Douglas Cox, and Savage.
Savage and co-writer Jed Shepherd developed the idea for Dashcam based on a live-streamed video series shared on YouTube by Hardy—singer of the indie rock band Giant Drag—entitled Band Car, in which Hardy would work out song ideas before viewers while driving in Los Angeles. Savage felt the concept would make for a good found footage-style horror film, and ultimately asked Hardy to appear in the film herself.
Dashcam had its world premiere at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival on 13 September 2021, where it was named second runner up for the People's Choice Award: Midnight Madness. It was later released theatrically in the United Kingdom and the United States on 3 June 2022. The film received polarized reviews, with praise for the scares, but criticism for its unlikable lead character.
