Less than a week ago, we got our hands on a teaser trailer for Dashcam, the new found footage horror film from Host (watch it HERE) director Rob Savage. That teaser showed next to nothing, so it’s good to see that a full trailer has already made its way online – and you can check it out in the embed above! Dashcam will be reaching theatres and VOD on June 3rd.
While Host was shot over Zoom, Dashcam was shot entirely with iPhones.
Written by Savage and his Host collaborators Gemma Hurley and Jed Shepherd, Dashcam follows
an abrasive musician’s night, via her livestream, as it takes a dangerous turn when she agrees to help transport a frail elderly woman out of town.
Annie Hardy (The Icarus Line Must Die) stars as that abrasive musician. Amar Chadha-Patel (Disney+’s Willow) and newcomer Angela Enahoro are also in the cast.
Savage produced Dashcam with Jason Blum and Douglas Cox. His co-writers Hurley and Shepherd served as executive producers with Ryan Turek. Blum has described the film as “a ride and not for the faint of heart – scary, intense, kinetic, like an unpredictable road trip with your most maddening friend.”
As I’ve said in other articles, my interest level instantly drops as soon as I hear that something has been made in the found footage style… but Dashcam actually looks like it might be pretty intense. Savage did impress me with Host, so I’m on board to give his new movie a chance.

As noted at the beginning of the trailer, Dashcam has been rated R for “bloody violence, pervasive language, and crude sexual references throughout“.
