At first this movie had a really weird juxtaposition between feeling like an introductory horror movie for a younger demographic while also having subject matter and language for adults. Then it switched to full adult and turned into a slew of violence with some perversions sprinkled in. However, that didn't happen until around the last third of the movie.
I wish it had hit its horror stride a tad earlier in the film, and then maybe we could have gotten a little more background on what was going on with the creepy characters and some of their origin.
The whole movie had an weird underlying sexual tension. The blossoming of sexuality with a bunch of young boys just discovering it, and the height of it with counselors in their early 20s. It was... interesting, for sure.
The whole thing felt like a narrative on the loss of innocence, on many levels. That didn't become super apparent to me until later in the film. Acting wise the kids did a great job, especially with what the two had to do towards the end.
Over all I was entertained and quite honestly shocked with what this ended up being... I wasn't expecting that. Would definitely recommend.
