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.

I thought this was a good movie. Usually, within the first two minutes of watching any movie, I can tell if I'm going to like it and I definitely liked this one! I would recommend it. I thought the storyline was good, it was well written and had a good plot, too. At the very end, it did say the movie was "based on true events." I thought the acting was great. I rated this 9 out of 10. The scenery was lovely. I liked the camp atmosphere. If you haven't seen this movie, give it a chance. Worst case scenario, if you don't like it, just don't watch it.I have used as much text as I can. NOT sure why it keeps telling me I have not used TEN lines of text, when, in fact, I HAVE! Very irritating! What do they expect ~ for me to write a damn book?

OK, for starters, this movie doesn't QUITE deserve harsh ratings and reviews. By no means does it deserve good ones either. I'm really glad I caught this on TV, because I had tried to rent it on redbox one night but it was sold out (surprising). Let me start by getting the good parts out of the way as they will take much less time. I can't remember the exact name, but the kid that played Jack was exceptional. His performance seemed genuine. In fact, this movie isn't really brought down by its acting (with exception of one or two characters). The last thing decent about this movie, is that no matter how bored I was, it did a decent job of keeping me interested (for better or WORSE). The movie had a lot going on, but at no point did an actual plot surface. You never really knew what was going on and in this case that was a bad thing. I continued to watch hoping for SOME sort of payoff, and didn't really get it. The last 15 minutes was weak, and isn't as good as IT thinks it is. I wish I could have voted a 4.5 for this movie, as 5 is too high and 3 is too low. Do I recommend this movie? Not really. Do I think some people could enjoy it? Yeah. It's not even close to the worst movie ever, but watch it only if you really have nothing better to do.

Based on true events? Um, not really. The director took his own experiences in a super-strict Catholic summer camp and greatly exaggerated them to produce Camp Hell. The best part of this movie, for me, was watching the ridiculously hateful, opinionated vitriol that the priest would spew to any and all campers who did anything remotely wrong. Seriously, calling a girl a tramp and a whore just for talking to a boy alone at night while standing a good 6 feet away from him? So wrong!Laughing at the indoctrination (read, brain-washing) of young, impressionable young adults and reaffirming all of my doubts and dislikes about religion in general was kind of fun. I could not bring myself to take this movie seriously in any way.So, if you want a good laugh, enjoy mocking religion, and/or are anti- religion, you'll have a good laugh. Otherwise, this is a movie with no resolution. It just kind of winds down to an end having accomplished nothing.Watch it for free, catch it on TV, but don't waste your money on a rental fee.
