Polaroid is a 2019 supernatural horror film based on the 2015 short film of the same title, directed by Lars Klevberg, the screenplay written by Blair Butler. The storyline follows high schooler Bird Fitcher, who's gifted a Polaroid camera from hell. She comes to realize that those who get their picture taken with it meet a horrid death.
Sarah (Madelaine Petsch) and her bestie, Linda (Erika Prevost), go through a box of her dead mother's stuff when they find an old Polaroid camera. Being a typical teenager, Sarah has a photo taken of herself in lingerie for her boyfriend. But who's that shadow figure behind her? Sarah meets a grizzly end via the phantom that night.
Bashful high School student Bird Fitcher (Kathryn Prescott) is gifted an old Polaroid camera by her co-worker, Tyler (Devi Santos), who bought it from a garage sale. Said camera has the initials RJS carved into it. Bird takes Tyler's picture, then notices a weird smudge in it.
Bird goes to a costume party with her friend, Kasey (Samantha Logan), and meets the latter's other friends, Devin (Keenan Tracey), Avery (Katie Stevens), and Bird's high-school crush, Connor (Tyler Young). Tyler's murdered by the ghost, and his photo comes free from the shadow, which has moved to Avery's picture. The entity hunts them down one-by-one.
Bird and Connor play detective and find that the camera was owned by photography teacher Roland Joseph Sable from their school in the past. Said teacher had been accused of torturing four students and killing three of them. Then they turn against each other, Connor and Devin fighting for the camera, and Devin is accidentally snapped by the cursed thing. Devin is arrested and attacked by the entity in his cell.
Bird, Connor, and Casey discover Roland's wife, Lena Sable (Grace Zabriskie), still lives. They visit her and find the camera actually belonged to their daughter, Rebecca Jane Sable (Emily Power), who'd been slow and had formed an attachment to the camera, but had been bullied by other students who took inappropriate pictures of her, causing her to commit suicide. But Sheriff Pembroke (Mitch Pileggi), one of the kids who tried to save her, now grown up, reveals to them that Roland molested his daughter, and the students had tried to rescue her.
