Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This movie surprises from the very beginning. It holds you in suspense for the most part. The whole story is quite logical and consistent. Good and very good actors' performance. I will be happy to watch it again after some time.
Shot in Spain this starts off reasonably interesting but quickly descends into an hour or so of infected people chasing non-infected people which becomes tiresome & tedious. It's also confusing as the infected become uninfected, then infected again. The ending is reasonably good but it's too little too late. The title sound more like a slasher movie, perhaps it would have been better had it been one instead.
"Summer Camp" tells a story of four American counselors who sign up for summer camp duties in...Spain. The movie opens innocuously enough with the counselors testing each other's "trust" by navigating (while blindfolded and bound) through the terrain, while another counselor gives them direction. Seems as though, however, they are being watched by someone. There is also some HUGE pieces of pollen blowing throughout the camp.When they finally make it to the "camp," minor repairs are being done. The fountain is being fixed, food is being prepared, and other things are being readied for the arrival of the children. When the animals for the camp's petting zoo arrive, that is where the trouble begins. It seems a dog (a beautiful German Shepherd) has contracted some sort of disease. This is where the script kinda went awry and things got just a little muddled for me.It seems that either (a) the infected dog brought some sort of disease that is passed from animal to human, causing complete maniacal behavior; or (b) the pollen that has blown in contains some sort of contagion and that infects the campers one by one. Madness will eventually consume ALL the counselors, but (in a different spin) the madness is only temporary and all will eventually return to normal.Because of this one story flaw, I am a little iffy about recommending this movie because my questions were never answered. However, it was decently acted, and there was a nice sense of dread as the madness overtakes each counselor. Their fight to survive was not unbelievable, but it was tiring--in a good way. "Summer Camp" is not a great movie, but it is decent enough entertainment in a year that (so far) just hasn't lived up to the enormous hype. Rated "R" for horror violence and language, "Summer Camp" (although refreshing) still falls a little short of its mark.
Remember the eighties? Remember when horror movies set in summer camps featured gruesomely deformed and masked killers – or their deranged mothers – that slaughtered dozens of scantily clad and hormone-overloaded teenagers? Oh, how I miss those days I don't want to sound too much like a dinosaur, but good slasher movies practically aren't made anymore nowadays and apparently now even the throwback/tribute movies don't even properly qualify as slashers anymore! Based on its title, film poster and brief plot description, I went to the premiere of "Summer Camp" at the Brussels' International Fantastic Film Festival and I was fully energized to watch a homage to 80s slasher flicks, but what I got was actually a zombie/virus- infected people flick instead! Due to the massive oversupply of bad and derivative zombie movies during the past decade and a half, I try to avoid them as much as possible so I'm pretty irked that I got lured to the theater thinking it was a slasher! "Summer Camp" is an American-Spanish co-production and you may take that very literally since it stars American students that spend their summer vacation in Northern Spain to work as English language counselors. With only one day left before the children arrive the conditions are far from optimal: there are tensions between the four camp leaders, the tap water is still cut off, there's a massive amount of pollen in the air, a bunch of freaks set up an improvised drug laboratory in the woods nearby and one of the camp's pet dogs had to put down because of rabies Then suddenly, the teenagers alternately get struck by a murderous rage that causes their mouth to froth and their eyes to turn black, but – and here's the big surprise – the rage/infection is only temporary and the effects wear off leaving the victim without any recollection of what happened! Seriously, instead of a slasher throwback we get a film in which zombie infection turns out to be some kind of bad drug trip?!? In spite of being written, produced and directed by a couple of supposedly talented Spanish horror experts, Alberto Marini and Jaume Balagueró, "Summer Camp" comes across as very amateurish. There isn't any character development (one of the girls has personal problems but they never get clarified), the timings are all wrong (all horrendous stuff takes place before the children arrive at camp) and of all the possible clichés there's hinted at in the script (pollen, rabies, water, mushrooms ) they chose the most dreadful one as cause of the infection. I can easily imagine that, during the development process of the film, the main idea that every character in the story gets his/her turn to be the murdering maniac as well as the terrified victim must have sounded very refreshing and original, but outcome is merely just idiotic and far-fetched. The gore and make-up effects are quite disappointing as well, and the only thing I'm remotely enthusiast about is the acting job of the young protagonists, particularly the naturally beautiful actresses Maiara Walsh and Jocelin Donahue.
