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.
