CommentsXp Best movie ever!
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
CabbageCustard It's probably unfair to hold a movie aimed at younger teens to the same standards as a movie aimed at adults, but it would be nice to think that teen movies also try to uplift, inspire or just even entertain their target audience. This movie won't do any of those things. A super dumb script combined with some really poor acting means that this movie is a only going to please the most undemanding of teenagers.Ironically, the kids in this movie are worried that their brains will be eaten by zombies when, in reality, it's the viewer's brain cells that will start to deteriorate. I feel sorry for the child actors in this movie. Some of them show personality and talent, even though they are given very little to work with. I hope that at some point some other producer gives them an opportunity to act in something decent, something they can act in and be proud of. This definitely ain't it. Finally, why is it that so many kids' movies cast actors who are obviously in their twenties to play teens? It's not fooling us, it's demeaning for them and it's embarrassing to watch. Do yourself a favour; give this movie a miss. There are much better movies out there aimed at the same age group.
Nick Duguay I found this movie very enjoyable. Right off the bat you can tell that this movie isn't meant to be taken seriously- the opening dialogue is comedic and we start with a classic humor 'switch' scene. Some complain that this movie isn't scary, probably due to the fact that it is (currently) featured in the 'horror' section on Netflix; but it's obvious as this story is set up that it's meant to be a lighthearted scary movie geared for middle school aged children. It's silly, but that's part of the charm. The story was adequate, entertaining, and the jokes were occasionally quite funny. Some of the outdoor shots sported some cringe-worthy editing but overall the camera work was satisfactory. Watch this movie with the kids, or even just to wind down at the end of the day, as long as you're aware that you're in for something campy (pun intended).
mstrohm-705-614673 If you are looking for a fun, nearly ridiculous, surprisingly clean (with the exception of some fairly innocuous "boy humor") then this movie is just what you are looking for. You will meet the typical group of campers. Included are the irreverent, clumsy counselors and the usual cast of funny camp staff. The acting is exaggerated, perhaps seen as sub par which adds to the craziness. Bunks brings together half part Camp movie and half part cheap Zombie movie. They have a fun twist to the usual underdog cabin vs obnoxious cabin. If you think of it as an after school slapstick zombie movie for Junior High boys then you should love it! Just don't take it too seriously. Or you will be very disappointed.
Shopaholic35 This movie's a little too unrealistic. I knew it was going to be a fun not so scary horror film but the characters were too much and slightly ridiculous. For the first part of the movie it was a bit slow and predictable. Then it starts to get a bit more interesting when the zombie's arrive at camp.I definitely wouldn't describe it as scary. There's just no suspense and the movie doesn't do surprise well. I know it's aimed at kids but I think even they would get bored watching this.On the plus side the mini campers are cute and have plenty of personality. It's nice seeing them grow into the confident little rejects they were always meant to be.
