Synopsis

Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp that was the site of a child's drowning.

The Fear Score take

A slow-burning exercise in isolation, Friday the 13th traps you at a rain-soaked summer camp where the woods watch and no one is coming to help. The dread accumulates in silence and shadow, punctuated by kills that arrive without warning. It works on your nerves through helplessness—the certainty that something is out there, and that distance is not safety.
