ID this mid-80's teen camp movie

…which may have had “camp” somewhere in the title. I remember no specifics, being around 7 at the time, but it was about a camp where the teens all take over. Far from something funny like “Porky’s,” this was a serious, dark movie, where they killed (?) some of the counselors, and the whole thing was very “lord of the flies”-esque.

The one defining thing about the movie that I remember was that there was some sort of canyon or ravine that someone fell into, possibly to his death. Maybe it had a rope bridge over it or something?

Well, that’s vaguer than hell.

This is almost certainly not the movie you are looking for that I am about to mention but for some reason ‘Teen Agent’ Sprang to mind when I read your description.

Yeah, I meant “camp” as in “actually taking place in a camp environment,” not “campy.” :slight_smile:

Could it be this one?

You can see the trailer here

That’s it! How did you figure it out with such little info?

Simple, really. I used the IMDB search page with search parameters : plot = camp + year = 1980-1990 + language = English + country = USA, then looked through the list it produced, clicked on a few likely titles, and found that one.

Happy to help.

Just wanted to say that I did in fact know which movie you were referring to before anyone used IMDB. I remember the band in the movie singing “BEEF BEEF BEEF. BEEF BOLOGNA!” and thinking it was funny.

The movie is Summer Camp Nightmare for those that don’t want to click around.

BTW, why couldn’t you just say "Is it Summer Camp Nightmare? instead of “this one”?

“Beef Bologna” is a great song by the punk band Fear, which, weirdly enough, was lead by Lee Ving, who played “Mr. Body” in “Clue.”

I’m really curious to re-watch this flick and see “beef bologna” in it.

Too late. I knew it was Summer Camp Nightmare too. :frowning:

Yeah… say the name of the movie with the link instead of “this one”.

Whoa – I didn’t even open the thread and I sensed which movie (although not the title) the OP was asking about… Bizarre mojo in the air.
