Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I'm not one to review films that already have so many reviews. So, I'm not really going to. I'm 40 years old and I've never heard of this film; which is odd seeing how I've seen a lot of horror films and films in general. From the very beginning I didn't think I was going to like it mainly because of the acting which is primarily horrible throughout but I've seen enough indie films to discard that impression and keep going. This film, for the type of film it is, actually addresses some serious issues, especially for its time (early 1980s). Topics like molestation, child abuse, bullying, homosexuality, and transgenderism. Some very serious topics for an indie slasher film. I like how the killer just doesn't kill indiscriminately. That's a problem with some slasher films: everyone's fair game but doesn't really play into the psychosis of the character (usually told in flashbacks or opening scenes; such as with this film) and just makes it about the kill rather than the purpose of it. There's purpose to the kills in this film which makes for a better film. There's also a bittersweet romantic side to this which I found ironic, at times.There's actually hints throughout the film that shows that the character Angela isn't just some shy and quiet girl because of what happened to her father and sibling shown in the beginning of the film. I always felt bad for her, throughout. She's tormented and bullied constantly by some of the kids and some of the adults. Some try to protect her but to no avail. Her cousin is always there for her, almost too there for her; it's like: what is it that he knows that we don't? Of course the ending tells us what he knows and I kind of felt he was like the greatest cousin ever though his mother was a nutjob; of course, I had that impression of her from the beginning of the film. She already seemed as if she had few screws loose.I'm a technical rater, when you've seen as many films and TV shows as I have, typically that's what one becomes. On a technical basis, it's a 4/10. Most of the acting is horrible. The direction and writing is subpar. Even the music isn't very good (compositionwise). As I said above: it does delve into some serious issues; mainly bullying and for even taking the chance on that, especially with the surprise ending, I'd give it an 8/10. So, 6.3/10. I'll round that up.

I'm a fan of horror films, especially low budget 1970s-80s ones, as I find these to be the most entertaining and grisly. I have to say, as a whole, the film itself is pretty bad. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is cringeworthy and sounds like it was written by a 6-year-old, and the killings are underwhelming and boring. Plus it's full of 'filler' scenes as another reviewer pointed out, showing the campers playing sports and messing about in their cabins, etc. I know it's a film about a teenage summer camp and they certainly got the hormone-fuelled mise-en-scene spot on, but there just wasn't really enough tension or suspense which are key ingredients for a good horror.But the ending. Wow. I knew there was something extremely weird about Angela and I did kinda guess all along that she was the killer, but I was not expecting that other twist. I have to admit that I was pretty impressed with it, which is basically what salvages the film from being a complete flop.
