Movie Review:
SUMMER CAMP
By Alberto Marcini
Personal Ratings: 8/10
Ah
summer…When we imagine summer camp, the sweet sunshine, happy laughter and
canoes on lakes are the ones usually popped instantly in our head. If that’s
what you thought of this movie, you’re deadly wrong as this one is ABSOLUTELY
THE OPPOSITE because it’s actually a horror movie with an innocent title. It’s
like any other horror movie where there’s gore and all the main characters die
but it is quite unique from other movies in this genre.
The three counselors doing their best to survive in a twisted summer camp..
I
really like this movie because it is done not like any other zombie themed
horror movies. The idea of the story is about four camp counselors trying to
survive from each other when one of them becomes infected with some kind of
virus from a genetically modified mushroom. The infected are like nightmarish
agile zombies that intends to kill any non-infected they see and once they
found their target, there’s no stopping them. However, unlike any other zombie
movies where the infected are permanently inhumane, this movie has an
interesting plot twist where the animalistic infected ones becomes sane again
after some amount of time. The hell-like experience doesn’t end there because
after one of the camp counselors recovered from the effects of the virus,
another one becomes infected. This kind of effect gives off a fresh cat and
mouse game impression in a horror movie.
All in
all, I would really recommend this movie to you horror movies lover because the
tensions and suspense are horrifically constant throughout the film.
