beginning of the movie, they are in Sarah’s room, going through a box of her late mother’s
belongings. Sarah finds a vintage polaroid camera and a picture of her mother. She comments how the
picture looked like it was clicked just before her death. Just then, Linda looks at her phone
and tells Sarah about her boyfriend liking a picture. Sarah wants to take a picture of her
own and send it to her boyfriend. She suggests taking it with her mother’s camera. She changes
into a nice dress and Linda takes her picture. The girls like it. Linda then leaves.
Sarah is alone at the house when she hears the camera making a noise. She looks at the picture
again and sees a tall shadow behind her. It was not there when they first took the picture. She
tries to rub it off when suddenly, the lights go off. She hears a noise coming from the other
room and goes to check. Sarah starts to panic when a ball bounces towards her.
She climbs up the attic and looks around but finds no one. Then suddenly, something startles her,
she falls through the attic door and hangs midway. She sighs with relief, but the very second,
someone drags her into the attic, kills her, and throws her back down.
Somewhere else, Bird Fitcher has picture day at her school. She is a shy high school girl who
loves photography. Her classmates tease her by calling her names like “scarf girl.” Bird wears
a scarf every day to school to hide a scar on her neck. She works at an antique shop. After school,
she is at work where her co-worker Tyler gives her an old polaroid camera as a gift. He knows Bird
loves photography, so he has gotten it for her in a yard sale. Bird is fascinated by the camera.
She claims that they stopped making cameras like this in the 70s. Tyler asks her to take
a picture of him. As they look at the picture, Tyler tries to kiss Bird, but she retreats.
Confused, she runs out of the shop as Tyler tells her to take the camera’s case.
Later, Bird is at home when her friend Kasey visits her. Kasey is excited about a Halloween
party and invites Bird to it. Although Bird is doubtful, Kasey convinces her to come.
Bird dresses as little red riding hood. They drive to the party with their friend Mina
and her boyfriend Devin. Bird notices that she still has Tyler’s picture from earlier.
A tall figure stands behind him in the picture, but Bird dismisses it as a smudge. Meanwhile,
Tyler is at his home watching a film on a projector. Suddenly a shadow appears on the
screen. An entity then leaps at Tyler and kills him. Bird, on the other hand, is at Avery’s home
with the others. She meets her crush Conner there and talks to him for the first time.
She sees her friends struggling to take pictures, and offers to click one for them using her camera.
Avery is not in the picture, so she takes a selfie with the camera later.
Suddenly, the police arrive at the party looking for Bird. They take her to the police station and
inform her of Tyler’s death. When she reaches home, she looks at Tyler’s picture again and is
surprised to see that the smudge from earlier is no longer there. She notices an identical smudge
in Avery’s selfie but dismisses it. Everyone has left the party, and Avery is alone at her house.
She goes to the basement to put away the decorations when she hears a noise from upstairs.
As she checks, someone attacks her. Avery runs away from it but trips and falls. The entity
then snaps her neck and kills her. The following morning, Kasey calls Bird
to inform her of Avery’s death. Saddened, she looks at the picture from the previous day and
sees that the smudge from her picture is gone. It has now transferred onto the group picture.
Bird makes the connection and concludes that the tall figure on the pictures and the deaths are
connected. But if that is true, anyone from the group picture can die next. Frustrated,
she throws the camera to the wall. The impact creates strange energy that makes Bird fall.
The students mourn Tyler’s and Avery’s death at school the following day.
Bird shows the group the pictures and tells them that the camera is the reason for the deaths.
Devin and Mina are skeptical, but Conner insists they listen. Devin then burns the group picture
with his lighter to prove Bird wrong. However, as the fire gets to Mina’s hand in the picture,
her hand starts to burn. Conner tries to put the fire out, but it only gets worse.
As the fire spreads in the picture, Kasey’s body starts to sizzle as well. Bird immediately stops
the picture from burning, which stops Mina’s hand from burning further. Then the picture reforms on
its own. Mina has third-degree burns and has to go through surgery. The group is in the hospital.
Everyone now believes Bird’s theory. Bird remembers Tyler telling her about
the camera’s case. As Devin and Kasey stay at the hospital with Mina, Conner, and Bird go
to Tyler’s house to get the camera’s case. They park outside Tyler’s place. Bird suggests she
goes inside alone as she doesn’t want to risk Conner’s life. As Conner sits in the car, he
notices Bird’s reflection on the back of the group picture. That means Bird, too, is on the killer's
radar. The inside of the house is dark, but Bird somehow finds the case. Just then, the entity
appears and tries to kill her. She flashes her torchlight at him, which makes the shadow retreat.
She runs out of the house with the case. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Mina gets a call from
Bird, who tells her that the shadow attacks when they are alone. Mina is alone in her
hospital room. After the call, the lights go off. Eventually, the shadow appears behind Mina and
kills her. Sometime later, the police pronounce it as suicide. Devin tries to tell them the truth but
to no avail. Bird and Conner are at the hospital too. Devin blames Bird for Mina’s death. Saddened,
she runs away and cries secretly. Connor comes to assure her that it is not her fault.
The two then go through the camera’s case and find a note inside. It looks like the camera
was held as evidence of some crime. The note has a name, address, date, and “homicide” as an offense.
They rush to the library to find out more about the case. After researching a bit, they find out
that In 1974, three children from Bird’s high school were abducted and murdered by their
photography teacher named Roland Joseph Sable. Roland had taken horrifying pictures of the kids
with the same camera before killing them. He was eventually found but had already killed
three of the four abducted children by then. He died in a shootout with police with the
camera in his hands. The initials RJS engraved on the camera’s case were Roland’s initials.
That night, the group meets at a diner. Bird tells them that the shadow acts as a picture,
so it reacts negatively to heat and light. Therefore, it always attacks in the dark and
was scared when Bird flashed a torchlight at it. Kasey finds out that Roland's house was
sold years ago from the internet. His girlfriend’s death starts to get to
Devin. Furious, he picks up the camera and tries to take someone’s picture.
Others tell him to calm down but to no avail. Conner tries to get the camera from him. However,
in the process, the camera clicks another picture. It turns out to be a picture of Devin. The shadow
from their group photo then transfers to Devin’s new picture, making him the next target. Devin is
petrified; he takes the camera again to take someone else's picture.
To stop him, Kasey stabs his hand in the picture, which causes his hand in real life to get injured.
They get into a fight, and a police officer arrests Devin.
Conner and Bird go to Sheriff Pembroke to request Devin’s release. They tell him about the
cursed camera, but he dismisses it. The Sheriff tells them to go straight to their home.
Devin has to stay in the cell for the night. Bird and Conner wish him goodbye and leave. Just then,
Kasey calls Bird and tells her that Roland’s wife, Mrs. Sable, still lives in the same house. Conner
and Bird drive to the house and find that Sable has changed her name. She dismisses them at first,
but the camera makes her interested. Mrs. Sable reveals that the camera belongs to her daughter,
Rebecca Jean Sable. The RJS are actually her initials. Rebecca used to be a shy
girl and was bullied by her classmates a lot. But Rebecca’s only happiness in life was photography.
And the same camera was her only friend. She brought it every day to school, even when
the kids started to bully her for it. One day, four kids came to her house and convinced Rebecca
to come to a party with them. But they took her camera and clicked embarrassing pictures of her.
The pictures spread around the school, and the bullying got worse.
Rebecca couldn’t take the bullying anymore, so she killed herself.
Roland found out about the pictures that killed his daughter and decided to avenge the bullies.
He abducted all four of the kids and took pictures of them from the same camera. The police found and
killed him. Roland died with the camera in his hands. The one kid that was saved is the only
way to stop the camera from killing people. Mrs. Stable shows them the picture of the kid.
Meanwhile, Devin is still locked in the cell when suddenly the lights go off. He tries to
call for help but soon realizes that he is alone. Suddenly, the shadow appears next to him and stabs
him to death. Conner notices the shadow is no longer in Devin’s picture and has transferred
to their group photo. The two go to their high school to look for the last kid. They find the
yearbook from the year the crime took place and find that the last boy was Sheriff Pembrook.
Suddenly, Sheriff Pembrook appears there with Kasey. He had been following them since
they left the police station. Conner takes the Sheriff’s picture, and the shadow transfers to it.
However, the sheriff tells them that Mrs. Sable lied to them. He denies ever bullying
Rebecca and reveals that her father was actually the one who took her pictures.
Conner and Bird are surprised. The sheriff tells them that Roland was a monster who liked to see
his daughter suffer. He had been abusing Rebecca her whole life. Rebecca had a lot of friends,
including the Sheriff. They were at Rebecca’s that night to try to persuade her to file a
complaint against Roland. But before they could go to the police, Roland found out about their plan.
He kidnapped and tortured them. After they were found, Rebecca’s committed suicide.
She couldn’t bear that her own father had killed her friends and now is dead.
Roland died before Rebecca; hence he could not be taking revenge for his daughter’s death.
As he finishes the story, the shadow appears. It tears the Sheriff’s picture in half and kills him.
The three of them try to run away, but the shadow follows them. The group separates, Kasey and Bird
hide in the shower room. Bird runs the shower with hot water to block it from coming towards them.
The shadow then goes after Conner. Bird takes another picture of her to attract the shadow to
herself and save Conner. As it is about to kill her, she takes a picture of the shadow itself.
She crushes the picture which tops him, but he soon recovers. Bird finally burns the picture,
and the shadow burns with it. The group reunites. The movie ends as Bird throws the camera and all
the pictures it has taken into the ocean. Thanks for watching! Make sure to like and comment
