Camp Pleasant Lake (2024)

What It Is: A group of campers returns one last time to celebrate Halloween. The setting is quite boring, to be honest, so the participants get quite fascinated by the concept, however, their fascination is short-lived as a mask-wearing person starts slicing and dicing the campers.

What We Think: Yeah can’t say I had come across such a concept till then so I was rather surprised myself. But I’ll be honest, it seemed like such a corny idea that for some reason I found it entertaining. As expected I am biased about the movie and its all the awful cliches. With this feeling in mind, I went into the film to have a blast only to realize that was not the case. 

Oh, wow. I am astounded, by how unusually strong-willed are you. Although I must admit, there is a guess login screen that I am trying to guess so that I can get something I need, ” Guess the login screen is hard”. This was just about an average effort on a Sunday afternoon. A Syfy channel original movie. It was not particularly engaging and I found it pointless. Ironically enough, this was one of my most torturous viewings during FilmSnobs and was for the exact purposes.

To me, the revelation of a certain group of campers calling their campsite ‘Camp Naptime’ remains the greatest endorsement of the film. I am not attempting to be rude towards the writers but the story of this movie appeared to be rather silly and poorly put together. The acting err Even community theater is better than this. No, this is not a good movie at all. No, that’s not the appeal of it either, is it? It’s not that good it’s bad. It is simply terrible. How is the idea? You can try to rationalize this all you want and it will fall apart in an instant. They make sense in such a way bar dialogue is fine, the script, however, was atrocious. What plot structure? What plot structure? When they claim that it was like attending a really bad performance in a community theatre, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if it was local hopeful actors doing the show. None of the adult interactions sound realistic as the narrator portrays everybody as angsty and ignorant. My 13-year-old cousin would have done a better job than that, and I’m serious. I can say that I’ve watched more believable endorsing videos for OxyClean. No shining stars here sorry to say.

As it stands, this particular film had such a thin plot, shallow characters, and no depth whatsoever, and so in consideration of this very fact alone, I will say, it barely manages to scrape into the list of movies I have seen over the year. Either way, it did take me a while to track down some redeemable qualities of this movie, and thankfully some there are.

Yet again, I would like to emphasize that this particular movie possessed quality elements such as the killer mask or some gory elements. One of the people who was in charge of the practical effects for the gore is how all the masks looked like too much story around it but still did a good job with it even though there’s a bit of a crazy backstory that goes with it. If Slim Mystery had a good script they would have done wonders with its elements. It is my belief that this is pure ignorance on their part, as I fully believe that they will be able to have enough work ethic to be a part of a great production in the near future.

Our Grade: F, but I have to admit, this is one of the very few movies that manages to get even a single point for being ugly. I don’t mean to belittle such kinds of films, but there’s no way, dear reader, I would deceive you into thinking that this is a great movie in any way. Because it’s not. To all horror aficionados don’t go anywhere close to graphic this unless it’s to convert it into a drinking game with friends. Even then, there is a better reason to have a drink than this movie. Dismiss all the scenes from A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 5 The Dream Child and Friday The 13th Part 8 Jason Takes Manhattan, and you will still be left incredulous that these two movies were actually exceptionally good in comparison. When you’re successfully able to depict a movie about Jason Vorhees turning into a child in a way that is believable, it means that there have been some disastrous events that have unfolded during the construction process.
