2016 · Victor Zarcoff · 87 min
Newlyweds Claire and Ryan have just moved into a new house. Both are hoping Claire’s pregnancy will be the cement needed to hold their already fraying relationship together. Little do they know their marital issues are the least of their problems. For unbeknownst to them, their scruffy, sleazy and lascivious landlord has installed numerous miniature cameras all over their home and has been spying on them from Day One. Then Ryan begins an office affair, and the landlord kits out the secret basement with chains and soundproofing. Something is going to give in this suburban shocker packed with nasty surprises.

How scary is 13 Cameras?
There's a constant low-grade unease here, like someone is always just out of frame watching you, because someone is. The movie moves slowly and quietly, letting everyday domestic moments curdle into something creepy simply because we know they're being watched. It's less about jolts and more about squirming discomfort, the kind that builds as you realize how exposed and helpless the characters are without knowing it. This is for people who like their horror uncomfortable and grounded rather than flashy, with a nasty real-world edge instead of monsters or ghosts.
