Bloody Summer Camp

I WANT to like this, but I don't know. I do like it... sort of?

On the one hand... it's an 80's slasher homage which automatically gives it some merit. The sets and wardrobe were great. The cast, I can't imagine how they found them, did an excellent job of capturing that 80's tone! For real, that's a hard part to emulate. Their attitudes, mannerisms, and tones were pitch perfect. They deserve credit for this. Bravo!

The jokes were brutal, totally politically incorrect, and funny. I appreciate this most. The gore effects were pretty decent and served well enough. The girls were cute and eager to show their assets which was a bonus.

On the other hand... altogether as a movie it felt sort of empty. It dragged a bit or something. It takes long to get going and when it does not much happens. The killer was kind of lame and generic. He needed more character or something unique.

One other nitpick, a strange complaint that I had... everyone had tattoos everywhere. Nobody had tattoos like that in the 80's. It kind of breaks the theme, reminding you that this was very much made recently when they worked so hard to perfectly capture the past. Stupid, but it did stand out to me.

A honest effort that deserves 6 stars at least but I can't see giving it more. It's worth a watch.

Was suggested it today and It took me a long time to finish. The movie paid a lot of homage to classic camp slashers like Friday the thirteenth and Sleepaway camp but the execution as poor. Camera work was not bad and a couple of the death scenes were shot really well to make up for the lack of budget to pull a large scale death off but thats really where it ends. Not a single character is likable and you really dont have any connection to them at all. For someones first movie I do see a lot of promise but I think more direction needs to be given to the actors. Everything felt forced and not even remotely organic. Given a a more experienced cast I would watch the directors work again.

You wont score higher than 6 , so a 10'er for some and 5 outta 6 from the grumpy old man...because this is what makes making a home- carpented movie watchable, crazy caracters, loads of stupid jokes, summer camp outtin nowhere, stunning moments of blood and gore, the sleazy monster lurking on the premisses, bareflashing well embeded spinsterboobs, and hunky hormonfrisking groiningly frustratedladden young men... can you really ask for more??... its just a question of screwing it all tight and firm together and hope for the best of weed and booze, sex and rockn the bed because this is fizzling the summercamp counselers.

This is seeding to become a slasherhorrorcomedy classic, not due to technical wonders, no its trashy sound and vision, not even a misty smokefilled room, and its not the story because its the same stew as every summercamp horror, its not brilliant acting rather a well harmonized ensemble that really wants to play the game of the guild , but nevertheless ,the caracters dumbsomeness and naive look on life and how to get laid are just awesomely done, and for every shift of scenes youll get sucked in for more, and if you love despicable body dismanteling and machetemagic then your in.

The grumpy old man have been hardened over the years on blood and gore, more or less unwittingly, but some of the stuff in here came so swiftly and shocking ,like feeling the fist digging my duodeni more than once. So if you wanna watch tv on your own, then put this one in the player cause your spouce or better half wont (at least not mine)and have a goood time, cause its fun, its dumb and its basic filmaking so lol is my last word.

Bloody Summer Camp (2021) is currently available on Tubi. Set in the 1980s, the story takes place at a summer camp with a tragic past. When a serial killer emerges, the question arises: is it tied to the camp's history or the work of a copycat?

Written and directed by David Kerr (Go Away), the film stars Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Kay Leahy (Blood and Breakfast), Chanda Rawlings (Crust), and Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie).

This is a low-budget movie that undeniably feels like it. Felissa Rose as a camp counselor adds some charm, and Dave Sheridan's cameo is enjoyable. However, the costumes and kills are underwhelming, though I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of nudity and the drug dealer's cars. Beyond that, there are few redeeming qualities.

In conclusion, Bloody Summer Camp is a poorly executed low-budget horror film worth watching only for a few fun performances. I'd rate it 4/10 and recommend skipping it.

I rounded up my rating. This movie is a 2 most of the way, but a 7 for the last 30 mins. I don't know why the movie is sooooo long. This movie would be much better if they tried to take out 30-40 minutes of it. I think most people would probably tune the movie off 20 minutes in, because really nothing much happens, and it's a shame, because the last half hour really saves this movie if you make it through the first half.

Most of the acting is bad, scenes aren't cut the way they should be, and some of the lighting of scenes is too dark. The sound effects are good where they were used, but there's several scenes that could have used some kind of background sound and it was completely lacking - it's almost as if they switched editors for the last hour of the film.
