Under the Radar DVD of the Week: 'Camp Hell'

This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists is:

“Camp Hell”

Is it a horror movie, a coming-of-age story or a religious cautionary tale concerning the “sins of the flesh” and the wily ways of Satan? Should it be titled “Camp Hope” (as it was originally tagged) or “Camp Hell,” the title affixed to the DVD due out on Tuesday?

And what’s up with plastering Jesse Eisenberg’s face on the DVD box cover, even though the star of “The Social Network” and “Zombieland” (who, by the way, has a new movie due out on Friday – “30 Minutes or Less”), even though the actor only appears in a two-minute-or-less cameo?

“Camp Hell” is an oddity that raises those pertinent questions and many others as it stumbles its way onto video shelves.

Never having received a theatrical release, despite a name cast the includes Eisenberg (sort of), former brat-packer Andrew McCarthy, desperate housewife Dana Delany and reliable character actor Bruce Davison, this picture from freshman writer-director George VanBuskirk can’t quite decide whether it’s fish or fowl.
