Okay, so this film has some bad reviews, but it was on the
Horror Channel so I thought I would give it a try. The best known stars are probably Dave Franco (Now You See Me 2013) and Mark Pellegrino, best known for t.v. roles such as Lucifer in Supernatural and Dr. Jedekiah Price in The Tomorrow People.
The basic premise is that six teens get sent to a camp that can only be described as the summer camp from Hell. The staff have a variety of charming traits such as dominatrix sex (between staff), spying on the three girls as they get changed and a love for Hitler.
Almost upon arrival one rebellious teen, Tyler, whose crime
seems to have been nothing more than inciting a protest against animal
dissection at school is locked in a small wooden box outside. Given he is claustrophobic,
this doesn't go down particularly well. The following day sees copious amounts
of physical work and six exhausted teens who receive the reward of a teeny tiny
dinner and Tyler returned to the box where he spend most of the rest of the
movie.
The next morning none of the staff appear to wake the teens
and Rose, a girl with a taste for fire finds that, contrary to the groups'
first thought, the staff are still on the grounds. Now, however, they have
developed a taste for flesh and six tasty teenage treats are roaming the
grounds. Three of the teens manage to make it to temporary safety inside the
building, thanks to the up-to-now silent Billy, who has spent his time cutting
up one of the dead camp dogs in a bid to satisfy his curiosity why it died.
Much of the rest of the film consists of a cross between a
zombie movie and a summer camp slasher movie. There are several moments of dark
humour and sexual innuendo as the teens attempt to escape the flesh-hungry
staff. It isn't the most predictable of movies and the ending is kind of, I
don't know, sudden and a little annoying. Is it worth watching? I can't say
that I would watch it again.
