A camp slasher film with a real bite to it.
Plot: Beginning with the accidental motorboat death of their father, two kids- a boy and girl, are sent to live with a relative. This woman is 'tapped' to say the least and insists on sending the lad and his very quiet sister away to camp. During their summer, a series of strange and bizarre deaths occur, beginning with the severe scalding of the paedophile-chef, and varying by technique and victim throughout the season. A real lack of care from the investigating officer and a desire to keep the incidents under wraps from the camp manager, leads to more slashing.
Bog standard stuff really, but this film has the worst language coming out of junior teenagers mouths I have ever heard. You can easily skip through the film, death to death (some being fairly good), but you must NOT miss the ending!
Budget: $350,000
Gross:$ 11,000,000
Fun Fact: There are two sequels (one starring Bruce Springsteen's daughter), with a forth lacking completion and another one finished, shot as a continuation of the original theme by the original director- Robert Hiltzik.
