Camp Damascus is pretty great. A tale of demonic possession and a conversion camp that gets weirder as it goes. I'd love a highly stylized movie of this. There were some lulls that took me out of it at times, but overall it's a Sapphic autistic horror story with a knockout queer wrath finale so I'm not complaining at all. I highly recommend Mara Wilson's empassioned narration, she is fabulous and well matched to the story. Yaaaasss!
