The premise

When 24-year-old Jason Hochberg arrives for counsellor weekend at his beloved Camp Pineway, his biggest problem is feeling out of touch with his teenage co-workers. Little does he know; a masked killer has murdered camp owners John and Kathy and is preparing to strike again.

Horror Vault's take

Camp Pineway is supposed to be a fun pre-season weekend for counselors, but for awkward twenty-something Jason Hochberg, fitting in with his younger colleagues is already an uphill battle. When a masked killer begins targeting the camp's staff, that social anxiety becomes the least of his problems. Equal parts whodunit mystery and slasher carnage, Hell of a Summer plays its comedy and its bloodshed in the same breath — keeping audiences guessing who behind the mask as the body count climbs.
