It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Yes, this movie is not the best movie in the world but it does one thing most movies do not do. It shows what children would do if they were in control. Granted other movies portray kid's as somehow always outwitting the adults, coming to peaceful resolutions on things, and nothing they do is wrong. I always find this total crap as I went to school I was picked on and such when there was supervision, kids are moronic at best and can not be left to do as they wish. If nothing else this movie shows what kids and teenagers would do if they got some power. The story, well the kids are not enjoying camp much because the head counselor is a bit strict, so in the background one teen decides to stir some stuff up and through a series of events takes the counselors and locks them up and decides to take control of the camp along with the other dumb kids and teens who do not seem to realize that they are going to be very much in trouble once the police find out. The movie is rather graphic, but despite the title by no means is it a horror movie. It is not even all that good except for a couple of scenes involving the rope bridge. Be warned there is a rape scene in the movie and while it does not show any nudity it is obvious what is going on. Here is a bit of advice though if something of this type happens out there. While the rape that occurs from like a guy who sneaks up on you is hard to avoid as it catches you by surprise the one done when it is a boyfriend or friend is easily avoidable. If you say no and he persists and he seems to be getting violent, just act like you are going along with the sex, grab him in the weak area acting like you are going to rub him then squeeze very hard and I guarantee you will be able to get away rather easily just do not wait till he recovers. So this movie may be worth checking out for a strange twist to the summer camp movie I just can not really recommend it either because even though it shows how I feel kids would act in this situation quite well it still ticks me off to see their behavior.

Beef Bologna! This cheese-camp flick about a bunch of kids who decide to join a Revolution against the camp counselors, is just that. A revolution. It is at times hilarious *check out the FEAR song during the Talent Show by the Horn Dogs*, Stanley "Runk the Punk"'s intro, and the girls singing "Come Visit us Down South"...No pun intended *LOL*.Franklin Riley is your token "rebel with a cause" teenager with "Civil Disobedience" in his pocket and has plans to ruin the summer for everyone...He creates the "Revolution" and appoints officers to guard the camp counselors locked in the rec room while the campers get drunk, have sex, and basically try to kill each other.The kicker/surprise is the rape thrown in, i was not expecting that. Classic camp/horror/cheese flick with really bad 80's songs *She Makes the Bad Boys Cry*, really bad clothing, and even worse huge nerd glasses and rashes on asses!A blast!Bite my Beef Bologna

This movie is titled and packaged exactly like a slasher flick. It's not. Which begs the question what IS it exactly? Well, think "Animal Farm" meets "Lord of the Flies" at summer camp. It's a none-too-subtle play on the old Nietzschean quip that whoever battles monsters ought to take care they don't become monsters themselves. It's probably carrying things a bit far to call this flick (I cannot, with a straight face, refer to it as a "film;" this is a flick) a satire. Oh, I suppose there's a serious message in there somewhere about power and its abuses, but mostly it's just good, campy fun. My personal favorite elements are Chuck "The Rifleman" Connors as the fascistic camp director who is quite clearly Ronald Reagan, and the camp talent show act ("The Horndogs") who perform a gleefully over the top lip synch of Fear's "Beef Baloney." A fun, fun rental.

This movie is like a mix of "Meatballs" and "Taps". The title is misleading. This isn't a "Friday the 13th"-type horror film. It's a pretty good little film about a teenage counselor who organizes all of the kids to take over the camp and lock up the adults. They do it because the new camp director (Chuck Connors) runs the place like a dictator and doesn't let the kids do anything fun. I wish we had done this when I was kid at bible camp! The teen counselor isn't exactly playing with a full deck either, but the kids don't mind as long as they get what they want, which is rock n' roll, parties, and sex. The supporting characters are well-drawn, especially Runk the Punk. Check this movie out if you come across it in the video store. It's a good time-killer.
