Not as bad as some of the teen films of the 80s, with a cast of pretties and studs to rank with the best of them, this film, based on the book, The Butterfly Revolution, but with a good deal of inspiration from Lord of the Flies, presents a tyrannical camp director, played stiff-lipped and scowling by Chuck Connors, who reduces his campers to bible study and butterfly collecting, with the predictable results. Into a cabin go the counsellors and the campers take charge, roping in the contents of a nearly girls' camp, and the partying starts. In the end the tyrant is dead and the other counsellors seem to have vanished, while the inevitable things that would occur in this situation occur. It's fun and well made, despite the largely unknown cast, and the music is delightfully airheady. Don't take this too seriously and you'll enjoy it. It's worth a renting.
