Death Camp

I love supporting indie film and indie filmmakers as it is so hard to make a movie and get it out and when it happens it should be applauded. This movie was made by a talented up and coming writer and filmmaker whom obviously has a passion for the genre and has well crafted real feeling characters who you get to know who are put in authentic feeling situations. If you are a fan of the indie horror/thriller genre you should definitely give this one a go. Im excited to see what else this filmmaker has coming up to add to their filmography. Definitely enjoyed it and like I said celebrate indie film.

A fun movie, which provided a great mix of old school 80's slasher horror and comedy, and a spice of nudity which gave it that 1980's Camp Crystal Lake feel. And best part was that it was written by screen writter Lisa Brennan. The stunts and kills were your basic 80's slasher kills. The acting just needed a little more improving in the part were they should be terrified. But Storyline was Well written. Definitely enjoyed and recommend this to any fan of the 80's genre who don't mind low bugte or cheasy Indie films. Also the movie reminded me of that spooky facebook lollipop link where it looked like the creey old guy was hacking your facebook account, then at the end he has a picture of you and drives to your house to kill you. The creepy old dude look like the guy in the Death Camp movie.

Made in the challenging conditions of the Covid pandemic, "Death Camp" is a low budget horror film revolving around demonic possession. The young actors are talented, the scenes with the villain (Norman) are good. (The atmosphere in the dark room is very well done, grim and creepy, more than the various characters death scenes which is certainly due to the fact that what we don't show but suggest through tense dialogue is more frightening. )The difficult conditions of the shooting which had to be stopped then resumed are undoubtedly the cause of the flaws in the film. It's important that people know that producing and directing an independent film often is an uphill battle and we must recognize the efforts put into the feature film by the director, the screenwriter and the actors all united to finish the project. A team effort that deserves respect.

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.

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.
