Due to the presence of Christopher Lloyd, director Sean Olson’s ‘Camp Hideout’ will bring to mind ‘Camp Nowhere’ for several audience members. Written by Kat Olson, C. Neil Davenport, and Dave DeBorde, the film also contains shades of ‘Home Alone’ and even Olson’s own ‘F.R.E.D.I.’. Does the family-friendly comedy get smothered in the nostalgia for those other titles? Or can the film find its own path?

Mostly painless by design, Max Winslow and the House of Secrets retains a potent bite whenever Sydne Mikelle appears on screen.

Five teens are invited to the home of an eccentric billionaire to compete in a game to win his mansion. The night takes a dark turn when they become trapped in the house and are forced to face off against each other and an evil AI entity who controls everything in the mansion including their fate.
