Death Camp

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.

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 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.

Great Indie Movie it great job by all. Well written storyline by Lisa would recommend this movie to those who enjoy watching Watched it over the weekend and enjoyed it. Was a nice choice of a movie to watch on my day off lol 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.

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.
