2023 ·1h 41m · ★ 5.5 (57)

In 1987, a group of counselors accidentally unleashes a decades' old evil on the last night of summer camp.

Why it matters

A throwback slasher that leans hard into ‘80s campfire chills with a modern indie edge.

  • Practical gore and creature effects channel the spirit of late-’80s horror without feeling retro pastiche.
  • Perfect for fans of nostalgic slashers who want a fresh setting and a touch of folk horror dread.
  • The isolated summer camp setting doubles as a character, amplifying the creeping paranoia and sense of doom.
  • Not a flawless narrative, but its earnestness and palpable atmosphere make it a solid pick for lovers of slow-burn terror and blood-soaked finales.
