Camp Pleasant Lake is a 2024 slasher horror film directed and written by Thomas Walton, released in theaters and on VOD by Deskpop Entertainment on February 27, 2024. It’s a standalone 1980s-inspired slasher — not connected to the Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the 13th franchises, despite some early coverage grouping it with “returning franchise” horror.
Official Synopsis: A couple breathes life into a new camp on an old campsite, connecting them to a chilling past that unravels a 20-year-old mystery involving a missing young girl. As eerie events unfold, they must confront forces tied to a brutal crime. (From IMDb)
