Warning: Spoilers
Colonel Crawford (David Campbell, Killer Workout) is the sadistic commander of Scare Camp, which shows civilians the survivalist skills they need. He's made it as rough as the real thing, which is the worst thing that can happen to veteran Jason McKenna (Fritz Matthews, Deadly Prey) who has a flashback and sees everything happening as if he were back in Vietnam.

And now he's broken out of Scare Camp and started killing people in the neighboring town.

Directed by David A. Prior, who co-wrote the movie with Jack Marino, this film makes you wonder why a camp like this would exist and why it would push people into feeling like a POW. Now that his friend has lost his mind, can Mitchell (Ted Prior) get him back to sanity?

If you've seen Deadly Prey, you've seen a similar story. Yet this is worth watching as well, as the Priors were able to get so much out of their small budgets and make rental choices for when Rambo was out of stock. This is a movie from a universe where a shotgun can knock a helicopter out of the sky and isn't that the kind of place where we all wish that we could be from time to time?
