Embassy Entertainment brings you 'Summer Camp Nightmare.'
Do they have winter camps as well? I'm guessing they're only for the elite.
A few 'Freddy 2' school buses transport human cargo to Camp North Pines. Remind me again: how far from Crystal Lake are we?
Chuck Connors? The Leatherface guy from 'Tourist Trap?' I'm surprised Emilio Estevez wasn't in this.
Oh no, it's Cort from 'Jason Lives.' Holy hell, I just discovered he was in 'The Karate Kid.' Evidence proving this to be true reveals he played Alan amongst the Cobra Kai's. Don't even look like him. He looks slovenly like one of 'Rocky 5's' pie-eating contestants.
The kids have only been here for five minutes, yet it looks like they're familiar with the terrain and have done this many times before. And of course, it's nothing but an exercise of regimented supervision from the adult counselors. Don't do this, don't do that! Stop that! Out of bounds!
There's every assortment of kid you can think of at the camp, and the main focus seems to be centered around this whiz kid who looks like Paul Pfeiffer, who has all the modern gadgets and electrical goods. It's a safe bet he won't get his toes wet or roughed up in any physical contact.
No sooner does he encounter Stanley Runk, who's kind of the Wayne Arnold of this movie.
Like anywhere in life, there's division and pecking orders.
Okay, I lost that bet.
Around the 14-minute mark, Pfeiffer dips his toes, then nearly drowns like little Jason as all the counselors have their backs turned, only to be saved by Tarzan. Or, in this case, Franklin, the rebellious outcast and anarchist.
It's all harmless fun; everyone's having a blast, except Chuck Connors, and I'm expecting Jason to jump out at any moment now.
My only resentment with this movie, as I've previously stated in my review of 'The Burning,' is that I'm a little jealous here again, as I never got to experience anything like this when I was a kid.
"She don't like my beef, beef, beef baloney." I'm actually laughing out loud here, but Chuck Connors isn't. He puts a stop to everyone's fun, including mine. Rightfully, someone labels him a gonad.
He starts to send violators to a solitary confinement called the Meditation Room. Everyone's good time is spoiled, as they're not following the religious tones of his teachings. Animosity starts to brew, and rebellion is formed. What will it take to ignite this powder keg?
Around the 39-minute mark, the point of no return is reached when a gun is pulled and all the adult counselors are rounded up and sent to the meditation brig.
Now, why would a Christian-run camp store a firearm on campus in an unlocked drawer with children as young as five running around?
The kids turn feral in a matter of minutes, and it's 'Lord of the Flies' all over again. This is a clear-cut case of Pink Floyd's The Wall and what it stood for.
Imagine the serious trouble you'd be in if someone pulled this stunt in real life.
This reminds me of 'Pleasantville' when they all turned into color and ran amok due to modern standards.
All these fools are unaware of the fact that their raving lunatic leader, Franklin, is a sociopath.
Irresponsibly, he introduces all the underage kids to alcohol and adult behavior.
They came to camp as innocent kids, but now they've turned into teens overnight.
Chuck Connors tries to flee the compound but becomes a victim to a human boobytrap.
Franklin gets a taste of power and becomes head of Scientology overnight. He can excommunicate anyone he chooses. Playing God, are we? That's another clear-cut case of a vulgar display of power.
Cort from 'Friday the 13th 6' is put on trial for despicable acts upon his fellow man and is given the death sentence as a result. Oh, they stay true to their word and follow through with their judgement alright. He's made to walk the plank of death, is stoned, ravished by a hundred girls, and then lynched.
With realization setting in, most come to their senses and regret the initial revolutionary behavior, and alliances are tested in a case of who's who and what side you're on.
The fuzz roll up conveniently and round up the wild bunch, but 99% of the thugs are released without charge and sent back into the community even though they're guilty of being accomplices.
It's not revealed if the adult counselors were released from the meditation brig, so I assume they all starved to death in there and were only discovered a year later when next year's bunch of criminals arrived.
The ending seemed rushed with all the brawls.
Franklin is arrested and assured that his wealthy parents are flying in from Sweden and will see to it that he gets off on a misdemeanor and will attend winter camp in a few months.
Poor climax.
