Death Camp

A low budget indie movie does not have to be a stinker but this one certainly is. The opening scene of the hostage situation was beyond absurd. I do have to wonder if any of them ever watched any movie with a hostage situation. It was both pathetic and comedic. It is at the scene of the stand off with Norman Esner, who murdered an entire high school class, then delivers himself to Satan. Go 20 years later, and a young group plans to hold a seance at the cabin of Norman Esner. Several consider themselves witches. They find the cabin boarded up, but still having electricity. Also, they find things that any police department would have removed in investigating the murders. And a VHS tape showing the murders surfaces. There is one scene of a person driving a car that starts to fill up with smoke. If one is on a narrow remote dirt road and the car fills with smoke, a good idea might be to stop. He didn't. It just reinforces the sloppiness of the entire film. For the rave reviews, I wonder if they saw the same movie? I tried to find any acting talent, but couldn't. Acting is not simply reading the words of the script.

I've never laughed harder during the proverbial "uh oh, y'all are done for" moment when the group of kids get stranded or trapped in a slasher flick.

"Hey dude, isn't that your car driving off?". Brilliant.

The blood and guts are great per usual, but I've always latched onto the quirky out-of-left-field moments in horror films a la; the ice cream and chicken farmer scenes in The Devil's Rejects. Death camp is full of those with loads of personality and manages to reinterpret a lot of the formulaic slasher moments in funny, bizarre, unpredictable, but first & foremost entertaining ways.

Where a lot of horror movies fall flat for trying too hard to be shocking and edgy, this one succeeds in simply aspiring to entertain.

Looking forward to more hits from this creative team and screenwriter Lisa Marie Brennan.

The positive rating stacking on this one is misleading. This is low quality amateur snooze. Well, for cheap entry fare it's not at the very bottom of the barrel. The actors are decent to look at; some decent looking people and make-up gets a nod. Even get a skin shot or two, which doesn't make this a good movie by any means, but just something daring can go a long way when the risk of dozing off is real. The script rings hollow and is nothing you aren't expecting. It is low quality, and although executed ok (for typical bait and switch listings), it's just kind of dull, boring, and wooden for the whole experience. Movies like this really help me to appreciate the more creative or exploitive cabin-in-woods genre films.

Very scary movie could not turn away once started watching it great job by all. Well written storyline by Lisa would recommend this movie to those who enjoy watching horror movies good actors in the movie quite believable that young high school kids would want to venture off and do something wild and crazy like this and the flashbacks to the start of the film with the original characters having flashbacks all the way through the film was very interesting it definitely added more depth to the story and the fact that there was romance added with a different characters and even some rivalry between them was great.

A group of arrogant kids decide to visit an abandoned camp with a dark past. What could go wrong, right? Everything, it seems. One by one they uncover little secrets, as if they even needed these clues to warn them about what may have been about to happen. This was a fun movie, and anyone who likes these kinds of stories will not be disappointed. The movie had just the right blend of elements you would associate with a movie of this type - witchcraft, a conjuring, a desolate countryside and characters straight out of our worst nightmares. This movie had everything one would want to see in a creepy film.
