Camp Review: Avalon Fast’s Girl Horror Refuses Every Box
Avalon Fast’s Camp takes the bones of a summer camp horror and grows something stranger from them. This sapphic, witchy coming-of-age tale follows Zola Grimmer’s grief-stricken Emily into a coven of damaged young women, trading slasher mechanics for melancholy magic. Here’s why this girl horror lingers.
Find Your Friends Review: Izabel Pakzad’s Desert Revenge Misfires
Izabel Pakzad’s Find Your Friends drops five wasted party girls into Joshua Tree and promises a survival-horror reckoning with toxic masculinity. There’s a real story of female rage swimming beneath the booze, the Molly and the desert menace — but does this Shudder revenge thriller ever let it breathe? Our review counts the cost.

Shot in the Salento and channelling Lucio Fulci’s moral fury, this dark fantasy follows three women who refuse their assigned roles. Now streaming on Prime Video after a festival run spanning three continents.
