Okay, so I just watched this movie, and it centers around a shy high schooler named Bird Fitcher who stumbles upon an old Polaroid camera. Little does she know, this isn’t just any camera – anyone who has their picture taken with it mysteriously dies soon after. It’s a pretty creepy premise, and I was immediately hooked trying to figure out what was going on!

The story of Polaroid centers around Bird, an outsider, who finds an old camera. After she starts taking pictures of her friends, they begin to mysteriously die. Bird soon realizes the camera itself seems to be causing their deaths.

Her friends are in danger, and she needs to find a way to save them before it’s too late. But uncovering the truth reveals a far more unsettling reality behind everything that’s happening.

Verdict on Polaroid

Recap

A group of high school students find an old camera and start taking pictures. Soon after, they begin to die in strange and unexpected ways.

Best Parts

This horror movie features a haunted object that kills people through their pictures. It’s a mix of the ‘Final Destination’ and slasher genres, though the characters are largely helpless to defend themselves. While not perfect, it’s an enjoyable and suspenseful horror film that keeps you hooked.

Worst Parts

Some of the deaths feel too extreme, and this makes it seem like a deliberate killer is responsible, rather than a series of unfortunate accidents.

Final Thoughts –Polaroid is a fun late-night horror movie.
