Camp Cold Brook

First of all, Chad Michael Murray is a good actor, average at best so I decided to give this a try since I haven't seen any movies of him recently.....I was wrong on this one, this is a real letdown of a film, they could have done much better with the scares, but they did not do it, predictable story, flat ending and lesson learned this time.

not worth a watch. watch something scarier and better...

This is well acted. Everyone involved did a pretty good job of getting into their parts, and I appreciate it greatly when actors make the effort. It's what they should be doing and speaks well of them as professionals. I give them all kudos and frankly it's the only reason I rank this a 5 out of 10.

This is well filmed, it has that quality you hope to find in a movie when you view one: clear video, steady cameras, good story-boarding.

Unfortunately that's it. Plot wise it was very unoriginal. It's been done before by only, oh I don't know.. 60 or 70 other movies? I'm being facetious of course, but seriously, it's been done before. The plot was so stale that I was able to guess the ending almost immediately after the first hint was passed out. The second I heard, "28 children died" BOOM! I knew exactly what the ending was going to be. I also guessed the part about the co-worker. I won't spoil it, though trust me there isn't much to be spoiled. It was so predictable.

Additionally I felt like there were some real holes. Many of the scenes in the film were cliches from other movies, but some of them were left somewhat uncooked. This happens mainly in the supporting characters. They'll say something like (loose paraphrase to avoid spoiler) "You know what we did!" And then we never find out what they did. Lol.

As far as being scared goes, there is little to scare you. The special effects are limited (thankfully) and when they do appear they are not terribly effective.

I think the biggest problem is that there is a very discernible lack of focus. Is this a scary movie? It's not that scary. Is it a mystery? It's too easy to guess. Is it a comedy, nope. Is this about the (NON-SPOILER CHARACTER) or the other (NON-SPOILER CHARACTER)? Maybe neither? It felt as though the intent of the film kept changing somewhere in the middle. All told, it just didn't fly with me.

I wasted 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back after watching this.

For the first 68 mins I was waiting for the movie to get going...then nothing really happened. Stupid illogical characters, no horror or scares. It's basically PG

Once again here we go with a movie that had such possibilities but ended up being a total pile of garbage. LOVE Danielle Harris but even she could not save this movie. I gave it a 5 just because of her. They could have taken this ghost story to such awesome levels but left it totally flat. Not sure what is happening with Hollywood these days.......someone just seems to wake up one morning and say "hey, lets make a horror movie today but let's not think it through let's just go for it and see what happens"..........

Run of the mill camp suspense movie that we've seen 100 times before.
