Good start, but then it gets ruined

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

A group of young kids ranging from very young to teenagers are about to start their summer at Camp North Pines.The girls camp is not far away from boys.A camp director named Mr. Warren played by Chuck "Tourist Trap" Connors is the main problem.He is deeply religious and conservative.So no hijinks and intimate contacts with girls.Introverted but pretty dominant Franklin becomes the leader of new revolution.He is well-versed,reads Thoreau and without hesitation crosses dangerous rope bridge.He tells all the kids that all of the other kids that society uses fear to control them and that once they could control fear they can control society.It's time to liberate camp and kidnap camp counselors.Revolution begins...with future stabbing and rape."Summer Camp Nightmare" is not a slasher flick.It's pure 80's cheese with some great one-liners and memorable characters like Runk the Punk.Very charming and somewhat nostalgic movie soaked with cheese.8 revolutions out of 10.

When I bought this movie, I thought the title meant that this movie would be scary. I won't tell you what it is about (for the ones who have not seen it yet), but if you really want to see this movie, go ahead and look at it because it is not that bad. My rating on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 6.

"Attention campers! Welcome to North Pines, where we got lotsa soul, and rock-n-roll, and wild times." This film defines the eighties; the cheese, the mullets, the headbands, the ragged jeans. Summer Camp Nightmare is pure fun and a great addition to the eighties teen movie legacy. I also found this one hiding out in the horror section (where it does not belong). It's title is a tad misleading (except the camp part, because this movie's full of it). It's storyline is similar to that of Lord of the Flies but it doesn't take itself that seriously. Instead, it becomes one of the most hilarious flicks I've ever seen. Charles Stratton does an excellent job as a far-out Counselor In Training who leads the revolution of Camp North Pines. "Society keeps us in line by the use of fear. When we overcome fear, that's when we stand above society." With this theory, he convinces almost everyone to join the revolt. It's filled with great characters, the best of course being Runk the Punk with his Iron Maiden t-shirt. Runk, without a doubt, has the two best lines in the movie. 1) "Stay outta my face, small crap." and 2) when he and Mason (Tom Fridley from Friday the 13th Part VI) lip sync a Fear song titled "Beef Bologna" at the talent show. From there, the movie gets fairly medieval as the kids become more and more primitive. Their new society fails and all hell breaks loose. If you're a fan of the eighties, you have to find this cult classic. To the revolution!

This movie is a perfect example of the 1980's, and embodies all the trends of the time. Charles Stratton did a wonderful job playing a teenager gone crazy, and the supporting cast measures up to his standard. The plot, unlike most 80's movies, is actually good. You have to pay attention and follow along, but it's well worth it. I would recommend this movie to everyone, and especially anyone who has read The Butterfly Revolution. I thought they did a decent job of changing the novel into a screenplay. This movie is definitely worth renting!
