Ghostly goings-on at a deserted camp in the heart of the Sooner State


This mixes “The Blair Witch Project” and “Death Tunnel” with the milieu of “Friday the 13th.” The beginning is a compelling set-up while the last act delivers the goods with an interesting closing element. The hour in-between revolves around four paranormal investigators staying at the creepy forsaken camp for four days, using cameras to capture enough material for a hit episode of their show. Their fourth season depends on it.

The star of the reality show is fleshed out (Chad Michael Murray), which is good. The character played by Candice De Visser (Emma) is also to a lesser degree. Michael Eric Reid plays sort of the goofball of the bunch (Kevin) while petite Danielle Harris (Angela) rounds out the main cast (you might remember her as the girl Jamie Lloyd in “Halloween 4” and “Halloween 5”). IMHO the flick needed a female protagonist of the caliber of winsome Joelle Westwood in "The Hunting" (2021/2022).

While somewhat derivative, it’s proficiently made with low-key sylvan spookiness and a quality climax. Gorehounds should give it a pass though.

It was shot in Guthrie, Oklahoma, which is about 10 miles north of Oklahoma City, along with Edmond and Jones, which are between those two locations.
