But the lines between what's real and not are blurred as a result of Nathan's psychopathic behavior. All to test whether or not Alex is truly committed to their relationship. He goes so far as to kidnap Jared and make him a part of the game. This is a MAJOR SPOILER but, essentially, the whole Slasher Sleepout is orchestrated by Nathan, whose friend owns Slasher Sleepout, in order to test Alex's dedication to him and their relationship. How they explore this dynamic within the setting of the slasher getaway (or whatever you wanna call it) is surprisingly really interesting. To that end, they explore her relationship with Jared, who was also a drug addict, and how he, in spite of his addictions, truly, legitimately cares for Alex.

I think the movie works best whe it is exploring their relationship and how Nathan, someone who worked at the rehab she went to, might not actually be the best for her and her health, in spite of Nathan's desire for Alex to be sober. Interestingly enough, this is more of a deconstruction of Alex's relationship with Nathan and how Alex's past, she was a drug addict, catches up to her in some really serious ways. In fairness to this movie, however, I don't think this was meant to be as cute and winky with its narrative as YMBTK was. In relation to this movie, however, this isn't quite as clever as You Might Be The Killer and even I had a lot of issues with that movie. I seem to always say this a lot, particularly when it comes to movies that attempt to subvert the usual horror (slasher in this) tropes and how they go about it. This movie uses that as its concept and it's one that I was intrigued in seeing how it played out.
One that I would probably, if I had the money, engage in gladly.
With that said, I've always found the idea of a "summer camp"/getaway/etc framed as if you were actually in a horror movie to be an interesting idea. Regardless, this is being written on Notepad on Windows, as my internet is being a fucking dick tonight (and will be for the next week or so, though I'm hoping it won't) and I cannot watch either Netflix, Amazon or any other streaming service. I have to finish the prior review and then review that night's movie. It makes this feel like work since it's piling up. Regardless, it's something that I should SERIOUSLY consider doing now as a result of the fact that I don't have a lot of time before I watch another movie tonight and I fucking HATE not finishing a review prior to watching that night's movie. Like my brain is not satisfied with a review if it's too short for one reason or another. I think I drone on for far too long on purpose, subconsciously.
It never came to fruition, as it should be obvious. You know, I threw this idea around last year (I think) with my review of Mad Money and that was coming up with a few to do some really quick and short (like less than 300 word) reviews for one movie per week.
