TOM H REVIEW’s “HAPPY CAMP”
In 2012 I ran across a film called “Happy Camp” directed
by Josh Anthony; my contact at first was Michael Barbuto, one of the stars and
producers of this film. The story was intriguing and the clip made it seem even
more awesome! And now it’s time I do my review!
The story is about a guy named Michael Tanner (Michael
Barbuto) returns to the town in which he once lived with his adoptive parents
20 years prior. The story is his brother
was taken by someone or something and Michael can’t remember any of the events
that happened; the town people seem to be trying to get Michael and his friends
to leave after they realize who he is and the reason that they are there.
Michael begins to unravel as they stay in Happy Camp while his friends (Josh
Anthony, Anne Taylor, Teddy Gilmore) are worrying and wanting to leave they
finally come face to face with Michael’s past!
Now that’s the story- Here’s is my take on the film! I am
not big on rushing a story so it fit within my guidelines of build up; I do
however want to get some glimpses of what may or may not be happening. “Happy
Camp” gives you the story and shows you a little glimpse that something isn’t
right as it all unfolds. Is it really different from other found footage films?
No; not really but the ending was pretty cool; not completely expected but yet
it was. Great effects and camera angles! My only negative with “Happy Camp” is
the fact they didn’t have more kills!!
This was a pretty damn good film that I will recommend to
others; I have sections that I save my favorite films and once I get a hard
copy of this film it will get put in my library as well!! Job well done guys!
