Leave your thoughts about Camera Obscura.
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonIt's evident from his work here that Koontz is a huge admirer of the horror genre, and I'm genuinely curious to see what he can do on his next effort. |
| The Young FolksNathanael HoodAs a horror film, Camera Obscura disappoints. |
| VarietyDennis Harvey“Camera” scores more points for an intriguing premise than for its execution, which grows more muddled conceptually as the horror elements grow more prominent. Still, this is an accomplished effort that holds full attention while you’re watching it, even if it leaves a few too many questions dangling at the end. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jacob KnightKoontz's feature debut is a sturdy, adult scare picture, which is a treat unto itself. |
| IndiewireMichael NordineThough born of an inventive idea, Camera Obscura comes out underdeveloped. |
| Slant MagazineHenry StewartThe filmmaker has a bad habit of dropping the psychological inquiries to dully go through the genre motions. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterFortunately, Camera Obscura has decent actors to flesh out its dubious premise.... But their diligent efforts cannot raise the whole enterprise above a mere exercise. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayCamera Obscura lurches between gory thriller sequences and dreary character development, and never develops any momentum. The movie gets in its own way — burdened with meaning. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWhat does pay off is the odd moment of dark comedy. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterA Twilight Zone-worthy story obscured minute by minute with tonal inconsistencies, convoluted plot turns, and a highly unlikable lead character. |
