The titular campgrounds are forced to close following a string of murders. Months pass and no leads are present, meaning the grounds are gonna be dormant until the authorities can uncover some sort of answer and that don’t look like it’ll be happening anytime soon. Welp, a busy camping weekend and a lack of forethought forces a group of dopes to sneak into the area to get their camp on. In this group is Brett who is having a rough go at the moment and it’s because his relationship with Scout has come to an end. Scout has even brought along her new boy-toy to rub poor Brett’s nose in. Relationship turmoil ends up taking a backseat because someone (or is it something?) begins picking off Brett’s group of friends and acquaintances. A local loon warns them to leave and they ignore it so they can keep on drinking and acting like assholes for the most part. Half-hearted montages and a lazy soundtrack of butt-pop drags us along with a group of people who are mostly unlikable. Luckily our lead Brett is alright (even though he’s way too old to be having the tantrums he does) and the girl in the group that likes him is a fine combination of sweet and cute. The obnoxious Trimmer’s girlfriend has a bad vibe about the place and gets made fun of for raising her concerns (she’s obviously right but it doesn’t mean much as she gets got pretty quickly… well, as quick as this movie can get around to anything of interest). I really wish something would start knocking these dickheads off. After half the runtime is spent on forgettable shenanigans, we get a glimpse of what’s gonna be causing a problem for the gang and I’m happy to say it ain’t some regular-ass slasher. Nope, we got some soul-sucking folklore creature finally getting around to massacring (that’s way too strong of a word) the idiots. The violence isn’t notable, the characters are mostly ass and the monster is a bit more silly than anything else. I admire what it attempted, I just wish it was capably handled.
