This may be a slasher film, but the real horror here is the camp.
A group of kids arrive at a gay conversion camp and suffer at the hands of the camp attendants whilst another possible horror awaits in the forest. The slasher element of this movie is a troupe that has appeared in film for many decades but here the bigger horror is what is happening to the kids and the slasher element feels like it was tagged onto the end rather than being the driving force.
The dynamics between the kids are well developed with the pacing of the movie giving us time to explore and get to know the characters, the camp attendants led by Kevin Bacon gradually develop into a sinister and frightening crew.
Overall this is a good film, it could have been great if the team making it had realised that the added slasher element was not necessary.
