The setting and script are perfectly crafted, as the dual narrative perspectives play off each other well (see the dramatic irony after the killer gets loose), and the discomfort and anxious excitement of summer camp (cue mean teens, raging hormones, and sweaty Lord of the Flies-charged games of capture the flag) blend seamlessly into the bloody, supernatural-tinged horror that brings the film to a truly brutal climax. A cohesive, well-acted slasher film that keeps you engaged throughout.
