Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A motley crew of teenagers whose idea of relaxation is a game of strip Monopoly take jobs at a run-down summer camp, but get gorily hacked and sliced to death by a local nutter almost before they've had time to unpack. A tame, poorly plotted serving of schlock, less horrific for its ketchup-smeared murders than for the bare-faced fashion in which it tries and fails to rip off Carpenter's Halloween in matters of style and construction.Author: TP
