It`s all been done before, I know, but for some reason I love these summer-camp based slasher films. Some bunkum about a caretaker with a grudge against..well, everyone it seems, and he returns to the scene of his humiliation etc etc etc. We know the score, but it`s nice in a slasher film to see people who are actually doing something these days (if you disregard Jamie Lee Curtis & Kevin Bacon), George from Seinfeld is here, as is Holly Hunter. All the unsuspecting teens are bumped off in a variety of ways; Tom Savini`s makeup is very impressive with several rather graphic deaths (especially when our killer jumps out of a canoe at a group of people). If you love slasher films, and you don`t mind that you`ve seen it all before, (like me!) then this is one of the best of its subgenre. (7 out of 10)
