I rounded it up to a four, cause it's probably a 3.5 in my opinion. Which is low for a slasher for me. It's low budget and what you'd expect for this type of movie. Obviously someone on the crew got a new drone for Christmas! I did laugh at the Cop interrogation scene for some dumb reason, lots of 80s references for old dudes like me. But why on earth was this over 2 hours? Why? Was this directed by Kevin Costner? Someone should cut this down to about 80 minutes and it would have been way better! So much unnecessary filler! A few too many throwbacks / references to Sleepaway Camp but I guess with the star of that in this that makes sense to me. For Camp Slasher fans only!
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 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.

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.

When I stumbled upon the 2021 horror comedy "Bloody Summer Camp", here late in 2022, of course I opted to watch it, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. And I will say that the movie definitely seemed like it could be an enjoyable movie to watch, as it seemed like a movie that would be poking fun at the traditional slasher genre.
So I watched what writer and director David Kerr had to offer. And since I had never actually heard about "Bloody Summer Camp", then he had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me.
Well, "Bloody Summer Camp" was a low budget movie, and not an overly great one at that. The storyline was actually fair enough, but the movie was just permeating low budget and subpar production all round, so it was not particularly enjoyable movie to watch. The comedy that was in the movie didn't fall into my liking, and the acting performances was wooden and rigid.
For a horror comedy then "Bloody Summer Camp" didn't step up when it mattered. This is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.
My rating of "Bloody Summer Camp" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.
