Camp Arrowhead

Unless you are paid up God Squad, definitely one to avoid. Starts off okay, but usual formulaic 'girls on summer camp' plot, then morphs into some kind of horrific hybrid of It's A Wonderful Life and a Bible Christian Centre promo. How it scores over 5 on IMDB is beyond me. My 2 start review hopefully can go someway to redress this fallacy.

Amazon Prime - what we're you thinking?

Inspite of the clichés that kept adding up, I continued watching this movie, finding it a refreshing relief from the loud and mean movies we keep getting from Hollywood (the ones where everyone acts as if its normal to flaunt the sex and to use gutter language when talking with your parents or children.) The religious themes didn't slam me in the face but were more like an undercurrent. While ithe identity of the stranger was obvious halfway through the movie, still it was a pleasant experience. I was glad to see Mariette Hartley. What I can't figure out is why the actor who played the stranger was omitted from IMDb's listing of the cast.

So let me get this straight out there I am not religious.

This film shows the typical trope of summer camp friendship formed over common background and activities, and yes it's a low budget film.

However that does not mean that it cannot be an amazing film about friendship, grief, forgiveness and moving on.

Percy is a likeable character from the start whom provides the key point in getting everyone together as much as possible, and providing the support each character needs to push past their barriers.

It is well worth the watch.

Liberal Hollywood creates movies and shows that force things I don't believe with on me. I just wish there were more Godly movies and options available like this one. Is it a corny script? Yes. Is it low budget acting? Yes.

However, I would watch this any day over what mainstream media puts out. Thank you for investing in making this movie. People out here do appreciate it!

Twenty minutes into this I turned it off in favor of 1987 Summer School. This is about a whiny feel sorry for me teen who misses her recently passed mother. She decides to go to camp for the summer instead of spending summer with aunt and her family, MMMMM! This movie definitely has Hallmark movie under tones along with the typical Hallmark terrible music soundtrack in the background. In looking at the scores its obvious whats going on. Some one gave ot a 1 and someone else felt they must then give a 10. I'm giving a 2 over a 1 only because I was grateful that Summer School was on at the same time.
