A collaboration between FANATICO director, Hannah May Cumming, and FANATICO producer, Karlee Boon, this gutsy film takes feminist horror and the rape revenge subgenre one step further. Camp Calypso is a "campy" horror that toys with tropes from monster movies, slasher flicks of the 1970s and '80s, and the writings of feminist film scholar Barbara Creed. The film’s focus on a merciless female "monster" and strong female protagonists works to subvert and redesign the conventions of exploitation horror. Complete with men in tiny shorts, a creepy legend and a suspicious camp director, Camp Calypso takes everything from retro camp slashers that we love, and nothing that we don’t. With authentic vintage costumes designed and styled by Emma Cogan, gory practical effects by Carlo Mery and Lyndsey Wiltshire, and an original, synth-heavy score by Rudy Klobas, Carlo Mery, and Nick McClurg, the film evokes '70s horror nostalgia with a feminist twist.
