A Camp Disaster You can't Look Away From
25 November 2021
This movie is completely insane.

It has every single idea and the kitchen sink shoved into a script. It is so unhinged it just seems to bounce around from scene to scene franticly. It is so fun to watch.

I also think there are bones of a great story buried in here somewhere. The relationship between the main characters is heartwarming sometimes, it just needs polishing up.

The villains however, Jesus Christ. They are like evil cartoon characters that may also be stunt men but also amateur actors?? They are the most bizarre horror villains I have ever seen. They have no purpose for what they do, the things they do are just insane and I don't mean like killing people.

This movie is a slasher/horror but it has like comedy/coming of age flashbacks that feel like they are out of a totally different movie. This is honestly one of the most insane films, it has a mind of its own.

And I didn't know if it knew what it was doing was going to make people laugh. One of the final parts is the most bizarre thing Iv seen but from my understanding it's meant to be serious? But it's hilarious.

Watch this movie but be warned there is one very uncomfortable scene that I really wish wasn't in this movie because it's gross and takes away from this camp disaster.
