The slasher movie resurgence is most definitely upon us – not that slashers really ever went anywhere – and another upcoming one has come to our attention this morning. Deadline shares a first look at Camp Pleasant Lake, which has just been dated for release. DeskPop Entertainment will release Camp Pleasant Lake in select theaters and VOD on February 27.
The 1980s-inspired slasher movie was directed by Thomas Walton.
“Camp Pleasant Lake follows Rick and Darlene Rutherford, who attempt to breathe life into the eerie remnants of an old campsite, unaware of its dark past. Strange occurrences haunt the area, mirroring the tragedies of the old camp, where two decades earlier, a young girl was kidnapped and her parents brutally murdered.
“Amidst chilling atmospheres and long-forgotten secrets, the couple grapples with a horrifying revelation—they are entwined in the camp’s history. And as the shadows of the past collide with the present, the Rutherfords must confront the haunting histories of a sinister crime.”
The cast of familiar faces includes Jonathan Lipnicki (Jerry Maguire), Bonnie Aarons (The Nun 1/2), Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster 1/2), Michael Paré (Eddie and the Cruisers), Kelly Lynn Reiter, Robert LaSardo (Death Race), Maritza Brikisak, and Greg Tally.
“Collaborating with the DeskPop team to release Camp Pleasant Lake has been a pleasure. We’ve crafted an intense, frightening, and entertaining experience, and we’re excited for horror enthusiasts to come together in cinemas and VOD and relish the twists and turns we’ve brought to life,” director Thomas Walton said in a statement.
