Camp Damascus
by Chuck Tingle
challenging
dark
reflective
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
This was wholeheartedly like a queer/conversion therapy/Christian evangelical “Get Out” meets “Don’t Worry Darling” meets “Black Mirror.”
Such a brilliant concept from Tingle & went places I didn’t expect this to go at all. In the beginning I thought it was going to be an archetype of ridiculous camp, almost like “but I’m a cheerleader,” but quite quickly I realized it was much more serious and horrifying.
I do think sometimes the pacing was off & I found myself skimming through portions of the second half, but the concept was just so brilliant and powerful I can forgive some of the pacing issues.
