Death Camp

Very scary movie could not turn away once started watching it great job by all. Well written storyline by Lisa would recommend this movie to those who enjoy watching horror movies good actors in the movie quite believable that young high school kids would want to venture off and do something wild and crazy like this and the flashbacks to the start of the film with the original characters having flashbacks all the way through the film was very interesting it definitely added more depth to the story and the fact that there was romance added with a different characters and even some rivalry between them was great.

Made in the challenging conditions of the Covid pandemic, "Death Camp" is a low budget horror film revolving around demonic possession. The young actors are talented, the scenes with the villain (Norman) are good. (The atmosphere in the dark room is very well done, grim and creepy, more than the various characters death scenes which is certainly due to the fact that what we don't show but suggest through tense dialogue is more frightening. )The difficult conditions of the shooting which had to be stopped then resumed are undoubtedly the cause of the flaws in the film. It's important that people know that producing and directing an independent film often is an uphill battle and we must recognize the efforts put into the feature film by the director, the screenwriter and the actors all united to finish the project. A team effort that deserves respect.

A low budget indie movie does not have to be a stinker but this one certainly is. The opening scene of the hostage situation was beyond absurd. I do have to wonder if any of them ever watched any movie with a hostage situation. It was both pathetic and comedic. It is at the scene of the stand off with Norman Esner, who murdered an entire high school class, then delivers himself to Satan. Go 20 years later, and a young group plans to hold a seance at the cabin of Norman Esner. Several consider themselves witches. They find the cabin boarded up, but still having electricity. Also, they find things that any police department would have removed in investigating the murders. And a VHS tape showing the murders surfaces. There is one scene of a person driving a car that starts to fill up with smoke. If one is on a narrow remote dirt road and the car fills with smoke, a good idea might be to stop. He didn't. It just reinforces the sloppiness of the entire film. For the rave reviews, I wonder if they saw the same movie? I tried to find any acting talent, but couldn't. Acting is not simply reading the words of the script.

The positive rating stacking on this one is misleading. This is low quality amateur snooze. Well, for cheap entry fare it's not at the very bottom of the barrel. The actors are decent to look at; some decent looking people and make-up gets a nod. Even get a skin shot or two, which doesn't make this a good movie by any means, but just something daring can go a long way when the risk of dozing off is real. The script rings hollow and is nothing you aren't expecting. It is low quality, and although executed ok (for typical bait and switch listings), it's just kind of dull, boring, and wooden for the whole experience. Movies like this really help me to appreciate the more creative or exploitive cabin-in-woods genre films.

I love supporting indie film and indie filmmakers as it is so hard to make a movie and get it out and when it happens it should be applauded. This movie was made by a talented up and coming writer and filmmaker whom obviously has a passion for the genre and has well crafted real feeling characters who you get to know who are put in authentic feeling situations. If you are a fan of the indie horror/thriller genre you should definitely give this one a go. Im excited to see what else this filmmaker has coming up to add to their filmography. Definitely enjoyed it and like I said celebrate indie film.
