Overused storyline and bad directing make this teenie horror a real stinker
21 April 2020
"Camp Cold Brook" is a boppy, cheesy, campy style of indie horror film. This type of movie will appeal to a certain type of audience and its one you wont find me in. This is typical Joe Dante involvement shlock. The style of the film reminds me a bit of "Gags the Clown" which is another stinker. It's childish and devoid of any real sense of style. "Camp Cold Brook" is directed by Andy Palmer and this is far from his first film. Looking back on his previous work it should be a clear foreshadow to how this film will be. I do like Chad Michael Murray and he wasn't all bad here, nor was Danielle Harris. The acting is actually good but it's the tone that hurts it. Its just too...colorful. Sometimes I can tell by the cover and preview for a movie entirely how the movie plays out in my mind, scene for scene, before even watching it. This is what made me hesitant to purchase this movie and sad to say it was just as boring and stupid as I thought it would be. I love reviewing great movies and usually could care less about the duds but every now and then there is one sooo horrendous I just HAVE to review it to warn peeps.
