Camp Cold Brook, a horror film directed by Andy Palmer, was released February 14, 2018. The movie is about a group of paranormal investigators who set out to check out Camp Cold Brook in Oklahoma, where a mass murder occurred a few decades prior. Joe Dante was its executive producer and it starred Chad Michael Murphy.
Camp Cold Brook won Best Horror Feature at the Shriekfest. Joe Dante won the Best Feature award at the Horrorhound Film Festival.
I enjoyed the movie but found it to be a little light on the horror. And the trope of an abandoned campground, haunted by a decades old crime is rather tired. To me, it was mainly a suspense thriller, because most of the paranormal activity was witnessed by the audience and not the characters. For example, when a girl escapes the shower imagining the room is filled with spiders, the ghost appears behind her. She never sees it. Another time, a character passes a wooden sign and fingers curl around the edge after the character walks past.
But I might watch it again.
