Director : Todd Strauss-Schulson
Running Time : 92 mins
Max (Farmiga) is the daughter of famed 80s slasher actress Amanda Cartwright (Akerman), and a few years after her mother’s death she is invited to a commemorative screening of the series that made her mum famous, Camp Bloodbath. But something strange happens when a fire breaks out at the movie showing, and Max and her friends find themselves trapped inside the horror movie, the only escape being to live through the film and kill the killer at the end.
Many people didn’t like this homage to the slasher movie simply because it wasn’t a hard 18 / R certificate movie. In the UK it was a 15, and in the USA it was a PG13. Just because this had a low rating doesn’t mean it couldn’t handle all the subject matter you’d expect to see in a slasher flick, it just wasn’t as gratuitous as it might otherwise have been. Personally I enjoyed it a whole lot, and didn’t even realise it wasn’t an 18 until after I’d already watched it. Any true slasher / horror movie fan will enjoy this take on the genre, and if you can handle the fact that there is no nudity or outright gore then you will no doubt enjoy this movie too.
