Synopsis

At the end of every summer, the children of a Christian community from a suburb of New Jersey attend Camp Hope. They travel deep into the woods far from any distractions the world provides. Here, the children are taught the ways of the Lord, the perils of the flesh, and the horror of the Devil. A charismatic priest leads them in their training. But, he unknowingly has brought something with him, something evil. What was supposed to be a safe place, a spiritual retreat has now turned into a nightmare that not even faith can end.

Jordan Barrett When I first started to watch this movie I wasn't quite sure what to think as it was quite wired to start of with. however half way through the movie i did find my self getting interested in the plot which i taught they built up quite well. I really enjoyed all of the actors performances. This is quite an usual movie with a different plot than maost movies so it takes sometime to understand what is going on but it is still an OK movie.
GL84 Sent to a missionary camp for teens, a man finds himself targeted by a demonic force intent on driving him insane as he tries to follow the strict doctrine imposed by the camp and tries to find what's going on and why he's being targeted without letting the founders know.For a variety of reasons, this was a really lame horror effort. The most egregious of all these flaws is mainly due to the fact that there's just nothing going on here, as this one was just a chore to get through due to its pace. There are so many scenes throughout here that are just utterly torturous to get through, from their initial bunk inspections to the endless camp sing-a-long sessions, the sharing groups and all the different interactions with the authority figures keep this one moving on at a strictly plodding pace. Although it's clearly the film's intention to spell the significance of these activities through their priority and focus, the fact still remains that there's no energy or effort in this one to get through these scenes as instead they are just utterly lifeless throughout here and really showcase their hypocrisy rather than offering up the chance for horror-based scares, leaving this one so agonizingly slow it might lull you to sleep before getting to the first lame scare. That's another really big problem area to overcome here, in that the film is so heavy-handed in its religious nonsense by wandering through the proceedings with more focus on the bible study and religious teachings than the horror scenes so that it doesn't give off all that many chances to do anything that's remotely concerned with being a horror effort as this portrayal of right-in-their-mindset religious teachings are just so much to take at times that it really makes this one so tough to take with no scares and so much nonsensical religious banter. The last big flaw to be found here is the fact that when it really tries to be a horror film in the first half, it really does fail to excite or thrill as the potential demonic manifestations and hallucinations are kept so short it's hard to make out what exactly you're supposed to be afraid of and they're so infrequently observed it tends to forget exactly what it's supposed to be, basically just showing them off in short, shaky spurts that make it impossible to tell what happened during these segments and really just proving to be a real failure on most fronts. Despite these issues holding it back, there are a few areas that do work here. One of the film's saving graces is having a bit more energy in the last half and actually gets the chance to feature some more traditional horror elements with the series of fine temptations and encounters throughout the camp as the series of scenes playing around with the demonic figures in the cabins or going around possessing the teens still there. Even with these positives, it's still far too little too late for this one.Rated R: Language, Mild Violence and a clothed sex scene.
ArchieIsCool On watching this I was hoping for some sort of horror after watching a trailer. Its about a camp for Christian teens sent by their parents to pray, sing and listen to the priest who runs it. Its more supernatural than horror concentrating on Thomas a teen who has bad dreams of a demon, at the camp a girl catches his eye and they pet in the woods which is a mortal sin.I was waiting for the horror but there is not any! The priest is all for being pure and having no sins and is played well be the actor in fact the acting is fine but I was disappointed by the lack of gore that will teach me to watch a one minute trailer which misled me.Its based on a true story.
cliftonphotographer Why a 4? Because it will flash back and forth from some normalcy to scary images LOUDLY and that will give you a shock. Albeit so would a cymbal smash from nowhere! To the reviewer that said this was a 90 minute ad for Christians I say. "Wow! You could NOT have watched this movie at all and must be one of those people that attack religion for no reason to make yourself feel important." Really this movie would put more people off religion than on it. The movie is slow paced,kind of interesting,but not scary. Toward the end has a really interesting event happen (don't want to spoil it) but then am the end, the main kid's point of view makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! We never understand exactly why the events are happening and with so many people that are stars in this movie I have to wonder why they were in it. Skip this movie. Oh,and the only thing I waited for in this movie was for that statue to move because it wasn't a statue!! Way too obvious!!
