Summer Camp

2016 ·1h 21m · ★ 5.6 (199)

A group of people have just signed up to be camp Councillors at a foreign country. They expect the camp to be the place for a memorable summer. Instead, something strange is going on and some of the campers begin to act strange. Things go terribly wrong real fast as a terrible game of tag has the campers running for their lives or going after the campers.

Why it matters

A frantic blend of contagion horror and slasher tropes trapped in a sun-drenched summer camp setting, where paranoia and body horror collide under an oddly infectious madness.

  • The film’s contagion concept is a fresh twist on possession, injecting a bizarre game of tag with deadly stakes.
  • Practical gore effects elevate the body horror, even if the script stumbles on character logic.
  • A sunlit, foreign camp locale contrasts nicely with the creeping dread and sudden violence.
  • Best suited for viewers who appreciate low-budget horror’s rough edges and inventive infection narratives despite uneven pacing.
