Final Summer

I know camp counselors in horror movies are supposed to be down right stupid, but this one goes to extremes. I would give a zero in intelligence to these characters and the person who wrote the story. Let me add, most are such cowards that pity for the next victim. Plenty of chances to help each other, heck, but why bother, it doesn't occur to any there is strengh in numbers. Then there is a thing called closing doors, a concept too advanced for these brainless people. You would think that some would have at some time in the past watched a summer camp horror movie. Super predictable ending. What a waste of time.

I know this was not easy to film so I will give it some credit...but it is definitely in my least favorite horror movies.

The Kills were horrible, barely showed them. Almost all of them were off screen.

I don't understand the random tree shots, they were there for no reason.

The acting... dont even get me started... There was barely any character development, and the acting was horrible.. def trying a little too hard.

And now the killer... He was literally Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees inbred little cousin...

My opinion doesnt run the world so yall do ya thing but...idk this is just my opinion.

Final Summer has been ridiculously praised as a tribute to Friday the 13th. This horrendous movie is merely a flat-out rip-off from that highly successful film franchise.

With its' simplistic dialogue and atrocious acting while witnessing buffoons as they wander aimlessly through the woods, Final Summer also compares to the cemetery scenes of Plan Nine from Outer Space.

Ed Wood at the least created an unintentionally hilarious good-bad movie. Far more than John Isberg had accomplished with Final Summer.

Of course, no lame slasher flick would be complete without the obligatory scenes of a masked maniac seemingly incapacitated and the intended victims running off instead of killing him. No surprise whatsoever when the maniac then arises, takes hold of his weapon which was conveniently lying next to him and easily continues his killing spree.

Call it a tribute if you wish, but Final Summer then manages an obvious variation to a storyline copied directly from the conclusion from Friday the 13th.

A quote from Oscar Wilde states, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" Final Summer however is a completely pointless and absurd fiasco.

Taking place at Silverlake camp, it is about to close and be sold for development. The owner says she has had it in the family, and the first year there were a couple of deaths, and each year after there were 'accidents'. So she is selling as the camp isn't viable anymore. One of the camp counselors makes a Jason joke, so is this a homage or a parody movie? Regardless, it would have been greatly improved if all killings took place in the first 10 minutes of the film. The actors seem earnest in their roles, although most seem amateurs, and when face to face with the killer, they immediately decide to make the worst possible decision. Dumb and inept seems an appropriate description. Difficult to care who get killed. The most adult of the group is among the first killed. Very predictable and a waste of time.

I would have give a better review if the movie was so out of focus. I'm guessing the people who made this movie must have bought their camera from a yard sale that wasn't in a good condition. Or either the director has bad eye sights and doesn't realized the film is out of focus? Either way, they should have done better than that. However the movie itself was okay, some cheesy kills that isn't possible was there, lol! But overall it was okay and the camera view was bad out of focus so that's really will hit the ratings for sure as I only give 4 stars for it. I don't like to watch a movie that isn't very clear. They need to improve and learn from their mistakes not to use cheap cameras.
