aka Camp Daze
A group of friends heading to Boston gets lost while taking a shortcut down a dirt road. Their car breaks down breaks down, they have no cell reception, and something spooky is in the woods.
The next morning, they wake up to find a group of camp counselors surrounding their car. The counselors invite them back to Camp Hiawatha, where it is the last day of camp, and call a tow truck.
The campers and counselors are all wearing fashions from over twenty years ago. 1980s music is playing in the camp and everyone in the camp seems confused by references to anything modern.
The group waits for a tow truck from town, but it never arrives. Once it is night, a killer starts targeting the campers, counselors, and new arrivals.
The premise of a camp from 1981 caught in some sort of time warp and reliving one night is interesting, but it presents too many inconsistencies. One is that it doesn't make sense if everyone knows what is going to happen, but they keep on doing the exact same thing. How about trying something different? More importantly, I don't care what happens to any of the characters because I know when the next day begins, they will be perfectly fine.
Also the film is supposed to take place in Maine, yet at the beginning of their trip to Boston, they drive by a sign saying Welcome to Maine. So.... where the heck are they coming from? If they're heading into Maine, that means they are heading away from Boston. If they're in New Hampshire, it wouldn't make sense to drive into Maine to go to south.
