If you like movies about dumb teenagers getting murdered at a summer camp, then there are plenty of other movies you can watch instead of this one.
I think that they were trying for something with this, and they almost hit it, as there were moments where it was almost sorta kinda genuinely funny. There were times when it was sorta making fun of horror movie tropes in a good satirical way. For a horror movie there was a minimal amount of blood and violence compared to a lot of other horror movies of the same type (but there was still blood and violence). And the reveal as to who was the killer, and why, wasn't completely original or unique, but its not something thats been over done (yet) imo.
However, there were other times when it kinda sucked. Like the moment when someone was getting beat up on the floor of a cabin, and he noticed the attacker had an erection and they sorta joked about it crudely. Or the cringy bits where the "cool" counsellors were making fun of the seasoned socially awkward counsellor.
All told, it was fairly average. I don't think there was much that stood out, or that sets it apart from other slasher movies. But it wasn't completely terrible so might be worth a watch on a rainy night when you just want to watch something brainless.
