After seeing the trailer a month or so ago, I was excited to see this film. I thought it looked like it could be a real hoot of a horror comedy. Unfortunately, I saw it last night, and it was a dismal waste of time. First of all, to call it a comedy is a huge stretch, as there are maybe a couple of jokes in the very first song at Musical Camp at the beginning. That's it. No other jokes or humor to speak of. It IS a musical slasher film, with tons of songs. In fact, except for a prologue murder, there is no killing until the last third of the movie. In between is lots of lifeless teen camp drama and songs. Because there are only a few main characters, it does not take a genius to figure out the final "surprise" revelations. I knew the answers before the movie was half-way through. The gore is minimal and uninventive. The acting is okay, I suppose. The writing, though, is really weak. The homages to classic horror films are trite and thoughtless.
I really want my time back. Neither funny nor scary. Just dumb.
