Directed and written by Henry Darrow McComas (the writer of Wolfman's Got Nards), this is the story of Sadie (Rachel Colwell) and Ed (Dillon Casey), a young couple who are barely getting along as they live the van life and travel across the U. S. Their travels take them to a camp run by the title character (Brooke Johnson) who is very much Mrs. Vorhees without the need for a son to rise from the lake two movies later. Then again, this ends with the hint of a sequel and gets supernatural.
I never wanted to go camping before this and certainly don't want to now. The camp host has a series of rules -- her life was ruined by those horrible kids that didn't follow them, also it must be this place, this horrible place -- and there's one kill, in which a man climbs up out of one of those camp toilets covered in human excrement and looking like some kind of demon that would have made this an ironic film if it came out in 1980.
That said, I would never leave my dog at a killer camp and drive away. Obviously, Ed is a complete moron but he seems to get it together before the end. I really enjoyed this because it definitely leans into what you're expecting before becoming what you're not expecting. That's a big swing and seeing that this is a Tubi Original, an even bigger one. Bring on The Camp Host 2.
