Yes, I have a digital8 handicam from like 7 years ago and it has 'nightshot' on it. Basically the same thing that was in the movie.

As a bonus, if you duct tape an IR illuminator to your camera, you can film in total darkness. Very Happy

I have a Sony Handycam, it has Nightshot/Nightvision. It works very well. My kids and I like to make scary movies with it.

handycams have a night vision, but it only slows down the frame rate to like 1/20 fps so more light will hit each frame. Becasue of that it makes the picture look like Censored

I learned about the night vision cameras the hard way when I had some friends over and I was trying to sleep. They bust in my door and tried to get film of me in my skivies.
