Camp Hell (2010)
7/10
Camp No-Fun.
18 September 2010
The doings at the camp of an extreeemely religious community from the perspective of a young man who is troubled by bad dreams and the added complication of his feelings for a girl which is prohibited by the strictures of his religious teachings.

Curious things begin to happen; apparently some kind of demonic attack and persecution and the young man seems somehow at the center of it --or perhaps the group as a whole because of their unreasonable excess. Whatever is happening, be it group hallucination, brainwashing, or reality, it seems that they have somehow brought it on themselves; invited it through their stern conditioning and behavior.

Finally, it's an interesting psychological movie and worth a look. Good story with fresh young actors and adequate to good acting. The lesson may be that at some extreme point of devotion, though well intentioned, reason can be abandoned and the devotion unwittingly transferred to something else. Perhaps the opposite of your intent. When reason is gone, nothing good remains. Love, Boloxxxi.
