Jason Blum wants to make a sequel to Netflix thriller, ‘Cam’

Netflix

• Jason Blum, the producer behind Netflix’s new thriller,
  “Cam,” wants to make a sequel.
• Stephen King gave his stamp of approval to the movie when it
  debuted earlier this month.
• Critics also love the movie, which has a 93% Rotten
  Tomatoes critic score.

“Cam,” a new psychological thriller from Blumhouse — the
production company behind the latest “Halloween” and “Get Out” —
dropped on Netflix earlier this month to glowing reviews and
praise from horror master Stephen King.

King wrote, “Loved CAM, on Netflix. Great lead performance
by Madeline Brewer.”

And there might be more on the way for fans like King. The
movie’s producer, Jason Blum, tweeted on Thursday that he’d “love
to make” a sequel to the movie.

Here’s Netflix’s description for the film: “When an
impersonator takes over her
profile, cam girl Alice sets out to solve
her own identity theft and regain control of her online
persona.”

“Cam,” directed by Daniel Goldhaber, has a 93% Rotten Tomatoes critic score, and reviews have
also praised Brewer’s performance. Brian Tallerico wrote for
RogerEbert.com that the film “has two
things going for it that instantly elevate it above a lot of
genre product: a great concept and an even better
performance.”

Slate’s Inkoo Kang compared
the movie to Netflix’s sci-fi anthology series, “Black
Mirror.”

“If the first half of ‘Cam’ is pleasantly episodic and
purringly tense, the latter half—in which Alice searches for her
hacker—is clever, inventive, and wonderfully evocative,” Kang
wrote. “A kind of ‘Black Mirror’ for cam girls, its frights
are limited to this tiny slice of the web, but no less resonant
for that.”

The movie follows another recent horror hit from Netflix,
TV series “The Haunting of Hill House,” which King also loved. “Hill House”
has generated praise from horror fans and critics alike, and
currently has a 90% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Between
that, “Cam,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” and more, Netflix
has delivered quality content for horror fans this season.

“Cam” is now streaming on Netflix.
