I'm somewhat surprised no one's done a modern child torture camp spin on the summer camp slasher film

I think the knowledge of these places & ehat goes on isnt super common. Like people just think it's a camp where kids get to climb ropes in the forest and shit

I learned about this from Holes and man the book even has that the Judge lies to the parents about what the camp is like

I never saw that one is it good? I thought it was a Disney movie for some reason

The movie is good. Book is better. Book goes harder and more into various other bigotries that hurt kids like ableism and fat shaming. It's a Dahl esq kinda magical realist teen mystery Book but the set up of these camps is depressingly real and people are always shocked it's based on...

Real legal shit they do to kids. And it addresses how the legal system preys on minorities and impoverished to fuel gris mills

It's shockingly common for a very particular demographic of kids (neurodivergent kids of abusive parents with more money than empathy)

Holes is like a step away from being that

Holes holds up Wish it didn't!! Wish it was shockingly outdated, an unsettlingly unwatchable product of a crueler distant past time!
