an unpolished gem

I really enjoyed this,starts like it's going to be a summer camp slasher, but already different as the kids are not 30 year old actors pretending to be 17 year olds, its 13 year olds pretending to be 13 year olds...the twist was good, and explains a lot, obviously it also raises a lot of plot holes but think it was solid enough.The last minute or two was great, and could have been made more of but like the sudden impact of it.Overall was really enjoyable, there is very little gore / deaths if your expecting that from a summer camp slasher your might be disappointed.It was different and i love that, yeah was very rough round the edges and with a bigger budget obviously could have been better but think everything was good enough, the acting was good as always a risk when you have to use so many young kids in a horror movie, which i guess is why it's normally done by 30 year olds pretending to be in high school.

Wasted potential unless there is a sequel

Even though I keep up really well with recent horror releases, Marshmallow completely passed me by without me noticing it. The premise sounded interesting and the poster looked intriguing, which was enough for me to give it a try.We have the typical summer camp setting with a young boy who is fearful and shy. After making a few friends and encountering a mean bully, he and the other kids are told a horror story about an evil doctor who used to live in the area. After that, the young boy becomes even more frightened, and his constant visions and the voices in his head aren't making things any better.The movie really takes its time with character development, and even though I enjoyed the characters and love the summer camp setting, it became a little boring after a while. Once the pacing picks up, the film definitely shifts in tone, but something about it feels off and not very well executed. It was too tame for a slasher and too generic for the "sci-fi" label it has on IMDb.At some point, we are introduced to a plot twist that definitely got me excited, but the movie never really does anything with it. We get a final scene that looks pretty interesting and made me want to see more, which should be a good sign in theory. However, this movie just felt like wasted potential. That plot twist and the last scene should have happened much earlier and led into a final act that could have made the movie far more engaging.As a standalone film, it felt disappointing and overall unsatisfying. The movie was stylish and had a soundtrack reminiscent of Stranger Things, and that, combined with the summer camp setting, created a nice atmosphere. However, the script was definitely an issue, focusing too much on boring elements instead of developing what is shown in the final scene.Overall, it's not a terrible movie, but I couldn't help leaving it with an unsatisfied feeling. I'm still curious to see if they plan to continue this story, but until then, this was average at best. It would have worked great as a pilot episode for a new TV series, but definitely not as a standalone movie. [5.2/10]

Had the potential to be good but missed the mark

I suppose the overall story of this movie is good. The problem for me is that it takes way too long to get to the point. Storywise, nothing really interesting happens until the second half of the movie. The first half is boring. If the first half were cut out, the second half might actually be good as a short film. I think Marshmallow would've been so much better if the last scene of the movie was the focus of the story. To me, the last 10 minutes of the movie were the best part but not enough to recommend it. I give this movie a 5.4 so I'll round down to 5. I guess it wasnt terrible. Overall it was just boring.
