Writer-director Henry Darrow McComas' Tubi release just might make you reconsider your next camping trip.

The wilderness—dark forests, rural backroads—is a go-to setting for the horror genre for obvious reasons. What better place to see city slickers flail than deep within nature, miles from the nearest cell-phone tower, surrounded by unfamiliar and inevitably hostile forces?

These irritations percolate throughout The Camp Host and come to a head just when Ed and Sadie need each other the most—but the main threat in the movie has nothing to do with relationship drama. Instead, it’s the never-named title character played by Brooke Johnson, who careens from “welcoming” to “off-putting” almost immediately when Sadie and Ed arrive at her campground.
