Camp Hell (2010)
10/10
Absolutely brilliant, thoughtful, scary masterpiece of horror
20 July 2011
If you liked movies like Black Swan, Session 9, The Mechinist, or Jacob's Ladder, then you will love this movie. It's a very thoughtful story of how badly a young mind can be hurt through religious brainwashing. A lot of people here say this movie doesn't make any sense and stuff like that. I think they just can't read the symbols beneath the surface. A lot of the things we see in this movie are the visions of a disturbed mind,they can't be taken literally. A lot of people think a movie has no story when this story is not told in the classical form they teach you in school when you're a kid, but if you're just a little bit smarter you will appreciate this movie as a masterpiece of narrative and psychological terror. And if you ever had a psychotic breakdown you will recognize yourself in the main character, because he is brilliantly constructed. And anyone who is studying professional psychology will find in this movie a very good example of how a child who's being forced to think in a certain way by using terror and fright to convince him, can reach to a level of fear that will cause him a psychotic breakdown and completely melt down. This movie may have a lot of elements that may seem to be supernatural, but that's only in a superficial level, behind those visions you will see this movie as one of the most realistic movies you'll ever see. This happens all the time to young people.
