Camp Cold Brook

Trying to save his show, the lead of a paranormal hunting team takes the crew to scout a location shoot involving a supposedly haunted summer camp, but the longer they stay at the area the more they come to believe it's stories and haunted history are true and must try to get away alive. For the most part, this one was an enjoyable enough genre effort. Among its better features is the strong backstory about the history of the camp and how it got its haunted reputation. The backstories told about the incident at the camp involving the woman who lost her daughter and then decides to take to witchcraft to commit the murders against the children which are shown in a brutal yet tasteful flashback involving the kids suddenly and without warning beating each other with ordinary objects and being lead to death-by-drowning. It serves itself well enough to a likable setup for a show like theirs to be interested in exploring. This fine and serviceable setup help to make the later ghost-hunting scenes come off with some atmospheric touches. The first night where he does the lone investigations of the still-lighting fire and the strange symbol nearby is a fine start, while the later scene featuring the technological flare-ups is somewhat unsettling. That these tend to provide a nice bit of tension by mixing them filming everything for the show which enables some nice found-footage style sequences with narration about strange odors and markings along the walls alongside the real-time monitoring showing them being unnerved at the situation is a fun touch. Likewise, the series of hauntings and confrontations leading into the finale as these scenes manage to make the storyline rather chilling. The attacks in the bathroom stalls or on the playground offer enough of a hint that things are building nicely which is what happens as the true purpose of the hauntings is revealed. This leads to a rash of fun encounters and confrontations throughout the campground which all brings about a highly enjoyable and somewhat surprising series of revelations that have some shocks involved for the most part. These, for the most part, are the more engaging aspects of this one. There are some issues with this one. One of the biggest issues is the nonsensical storyline involving the series of twists and turns this takes in the finale. Featuring several twists that are quite lame and just underdeveloped due to be introduced so late that it's somewhat questionable why it would be featured at all with no build-up makes this section look rushed and inconsequential. As well, for supposedly professional ghost hunters they display some startling unprofessional behavior, from their attitude towards the job, failing to recognize when something's supernatural and just being unaware of what's going on, which just seems to lower this one. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Jack Wilson (Chad Michael Murray) hosts a paranormal investigating show that is getting canceled because the paranormal does not exist. They need a blockbuster show to avoid getting canceled. Emma (Candice De Visser ) the new girl suggests Camp Cold Brook, a place that hasn't been investigated as yet. 28 children were murdered there in a ritual that required 30 deaths to restore the life of one child. This is predictable for those who watch theses films. The flaws with this one were weak unentertaining characters and a sloppily constructed backstory. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Good creepy and fun n entertaining. love the twist and jump scares

Really enjoyed this film from the beginning voice over (I thought Don LaFontaine passed away some time ago?) to the final scene. The acting and story were good and I felt like it moved along well. I enjoyed a lot of the "jump" scenes and think it was a nice change from films in this genre that seem to like to fall back on sex and gore. The story of the campers seems intriguing and would love to have seen more of that. All in all definitely a film I would recommend to someone who enjoys suspenseful horrors.

Jump scares and creepy cabin and scary kids...love em!

An entertaining horror flick and kinda creepy at some places. Love the isolated cabin in the woods and the sudden jump scares. Executed well and to me, its a scary horror movie

A good horror movie shot with the paranormal style of storytelling. Good jump scares and surely worth the watch

This movie is filled with solid performance's and nice jump scares. Love seeing Danielle Harris in this movie. The third act is the best by far and the ending was very interesting. Definitely give this a watch.

I was expecting this to be a pretty b grade movie, I was surprised, to start off it was better then I expected. Nice and tense, got my heart racing a little. And then it got to the ending. It feels like they ran out of budget and just slapped together a 2 minute scene to finish the movie. I was so disappointed. Up until the end I would have rated it a 6 or possibly a 7. Honestly, it's enjoyable but be prepared to be pretty peed off at the ending.

This is really another atempt at the paranormal investigation film genre... well to be honest if you want to be scared try a tv reality show on the subject, you may have more luck. Really poor.
