Camp Hell (2010)

Tommy's parents send him to a Christian summer camp.  At this isolated camp deep in the woods, the counselors indoctrinate the teenaged campers with the view that everything fun is evil.

Putting teens with raging hormones in an overnight camp up in the woods means you're going to have fraternization, and where there's fraternizing, there's Christian guilt.  Tommy and a girl he likes meet in the woods at night, which causes conflicting feelings since he's being bludgeoned over the head that what he's doing is a sin.

The cover features Jesse Eisenberg who only has a cameo in the film and isn't even essential to the plot.  Also the film is nothing like the trailer which portrays it as a spooky story with demons.  The footage is taken totally out of context.  The movie has been marketed as a horror movie, but there's hardly anything spooky in it.
