Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Páiric O'Corráin Summer Camp: The title suggests a slasher film, even the build up points to this with a mysterious knife wielding stranger in the woods and odd new age travellers in the area. Three Americans are hired as counsellors to work with the director at a Spanish camp in an old building. Problems abound as animals come down with a strange illness, turning savage.Soon humans are also affected and turn violent after vomiting up a dark liquid. This is a fast zombie style illness involving biting and feral behaviour. Some impressive action scenes as the violent ones hunt the uninfected through the building and the forest. Perhaps a little drawn out and the attacks/violence becomes a tad repetitive. Nevertheless it is an effective directorial debut by Alberto Marini who also co-wrote the screenplay. 7/10.

jtindahouse The horror genre is getting to the point where if a film isn't completely terrible, it's almost considered a good film. A sad but true fact. 'Summer Camp' falls almost exactly into that scenario. It certainly isn't a good horror movie in any way, yet because it is adequately made and isn't totally uwatchable you find yourself asking yourself, "was that good?" The film is trying to be a 'Cabin Fever' of sorts (a very fine horror movie), but it fails in all the areas that made 'Cabin Fever' so good. Firstly, the characters in that film were brilliant. They were realistic, yet endlessly likable. In 'Summer Camp' the characters are about as thin a wafer and as unlikeable as they ever come. No genuine time is spent trying to boost them and give them some dimensions. The director simply wants to get the blood and guts underway.Secondly, there's no creativity put into any of the horror. Not once did I even come close to getting a shock or a fright and all that was left was boring zombie-like nonsense that has been seen a thousand times over. All this makes it seem like this was a much worse film than it really was. The truth is it's probably better than 65% of horror films out there. However that says more about the state of the genre than anything else.

thesar-2 Holy crap, talk about judging a book by its title.I went into this movie 100% cold. I knew nothing about it other than the title and I thought I knew it all. I hadn't watched a trailer, read a blurb or even seen a poster. What I thought I read into the name was going to be a cheap, independent take on the killer stalking camp counselors subgenre, à la Friday the 13th…a personal favorite of mine: the slasher flick.Before I go further, it's best you do the same as me. SEE IT before you read anything about it. Go in as cold as I did. Heck, I just now stopped this review and watched the official trailer. Boy! did that ruin a ton of surprises and twists. Not everything, but you know what kind of movie this is and it was fun to learn on your own from the beginning.Suffice to say, I hesitate to NOT give this a perfect rating. It was absolutely one of the most effective, scary, original, tight and inventive horror movies I've seen in probably a good couple of years. I loved the rules it came up with, the acting was believable and the pacing and continuous flow was near perfect. It didn't settle on just one direction; it kept reinventing itself.It gives some damn good red herrings in the opening, which I loved and it does enough foreshadowing to enjoy the inevitable scenes, even if they're predictable. I was shocked about both my experience going in cold and expecting so little as I was when I enjoyed the movie itself. I do like a lot of horror films and 50/50 independent films, but every once in a while an independent horror flick just blows me and my expectations out of the water. Definitely see this movie.***Final thoughts: If you're reading this on IMDb, most likely you've seen at very least the poster. Shame. Even that gives too much away. Luckily, I found the perfect, nondescript, albeit official poster to share with my review on Facebook. Hopefully, you'll take my warning (don't read/see anything about this before viewing it whole) and just see it. And have fun. It's Summer Camp, after all. Right?

RMS1949 How many more of these ridiculous "shaky camera" thriller and horror movies must we endure...??? Exactly when in Movie making classes were these people taught that shaking the camera all over the place somehow enhances your movie..Well guess what, It doesn't !! It makes it look silly, cheap, nauseating and at the very least nearly impossible for some to even follow what you are even attempting to show on screen...Personally,, I'm going to start to boycott any movie that their trailer or info shows this pathetic attempt to cover up the fact that they can NOT coordinate even a basic action scene without this ugly practice..Anyway the story was became all too familiar even with a twist like ending..just mundane, nothing that has not been seen before in zombie horror,,but, again,the filming technique stopped me from following it at close as I do most films..
