In 1987, a group of counselors on the last night of a summer camp accidentally release an evil that has existed for decades. . .
The tape pays homage to the traditional genre of slasher, while not shy in the course of the narrative to add other elements of horror: a revived spirit, demonic forces, occultism, angry snotty children running crowd after counselors in the hope of tearing their flesh with their milk teeth. And it's amazing how with such diversity there is no confusion or inflection in either direction - it's a dense balanced mix of many horror pieces.
The atmosphere of the summer lager is nostalgic reminiscent of Crystal Lake and you subconsciously expect Jason to appear from behind the tree. Night, empty houses, a broken car and phone, a group of counselors one-on-one with a restless beast, feverishly figuring out how to get out of the situation - this pleasantly gives lamp heat to old similar films.
And I must pay tribute to the director, he in every possible way avoids genre clichés in the form of “let’s split one by one” and other boring template behavior of the characters. And although in the tags for the film, in addition to the horrors, there is also a comedy, but I did not notice humor, and the tape rather looks like a spectacular attraction in the manner of told horror stories by the fire, it is just served in an easy entertaining manner.
The plot is simple and from the very beginning it becomes clear its further development, but it is not for the sake of history that such pictures are created. I have, however, a claim to the challenge of demonic evil: piercing a finger and saying his name is ugly easy, but perhaps this is just the element of humor and irony over their fellow genre.
Moral: Summer camp is the perfect place to learn the art of survival... in the event of a maniac or ghost.
As a result, a dynamic spectacular horror film about obscurantism in a children's camp, which simply cannot be missed.
