Welcome to this weeks Calamity on Cinema, where we have at hand a bucket filled to the brim with rotten tomatos in case the films we watch turn out to overtly clownish, stamp our rating of approval or condemnation upon them, and then provide you with a list of films to watch over the weekend, which may or may not contain films we have condemned.
This week’s feature is Camp Hell, a 2010 horror spectacular that is less spectacular for appearing to have been shot in the 80s, and also due its more, er, disturbing OR illuminating bent, depending on your history. You’ll see what we mean when you read the review below.
Now, as Camp Hell can turn in two ways, we have opted to rate the film a solid three clowns, based on the Calamity Content Rating System: 🤡🤡🤡. It is neither terrible, nor great, but positively disturbing.
Follow this up with Heretic, a slow but calculated approach to the themes brought forth in Camp Hell. Hugh Grant, as Mr. Reed, plays a devilish character whose questions begin to unsettle a pair of missionaries, and whose actions in turn terrify them. No doubt, you’ll enjoy this Religious Double Feature.
