Nigel Floyd

Time Out

Budgetary limitations, a plodding script, ropey visual effects and an excruciating score undercut a heartfelt cautionary tale about a confused teenager wrestling with his religious faith and the dogmatism of his overzealous elders.

Rated: 2/5

Julian White

Little White Lies

An unexpected and individual take on sin and the devil by a director who - shock horror - actually has something to say.

Rated: 4/5

The Wolfman Cometh

Somehow, attending an actual Jesus camp might be more enjoyable than suffering through this movie.

Rated: 1/5

Radio Times

With little in the way of shocks or surprises, writer/director George VanBuskirk fashions a lightweight drama that ponders religious fanaticism but never seems sure of its message.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

The grounded approach and honest performances are provocative and unsettling. As is the fact that it's based on a true story.

Rated: 3.5/5

This movie was pretty good. The whole camp deal was planned out nicely. It had a real camp feel to it. The acting was good. The graphics were good. Begin based on true events is a weird thing. Which parts are true events. I don’t know. Still a decent movie.

As someone who grew up in a religious environment this movie was already my nightmare 20 minutes in and the evil hasn't even shown up yet, the flashbacks of all those Sunday school days *shivers*. But over all, it's just meh.

Camp Hell lies to you before you've even pressed play. Normally that's the sort of thing I can forgive pretty easily, but not when the film we get instead is unintelligible boring trash.

Wow, that was just atrocious. This is supposed to be a horror movie yet nothing related to horror happens until its nearly over, and even then its not remotely scary. It has no direction, no plot, its just a mess. Don't waste your time!

this movie could have been way better but failed even the scene of intimacy showed no nudity at all and the horror aspect falls flat not worth the time.
