Death Camp

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
