Marshmallow

**In the depths of the picturesque woods lies a summer camp that promises laughter and friendship. But hold on tight because “Marshmallow” (2025), directed by Daniel DelPurgatorio, takes us on a ride that twists childhood innocence into something far more sinister. This isn’t the typical feel-good camp movie; it’s a creeping horror that grips you from the first moment to the last, and honestly, you might just find yourself questioning your next camping trip…

Meet Morgan, a 12-year-old boy who’s the epitome of timid and introverted. Played by Pierson Fodé, Morgan captures that raw innocence you remember from your own childhood. As he arrives at camp, he’s surrounded by vibrant colors and aggressive laughter, yet he feels like a fish out of water. The camp seems like the perfect escape — until that classic campfire tale transforms from just a spooky story to a chilling nightmare. When a mysterious figure starts lurking through the shadows, the air gets thick with adrenaline and dread. Corbin Bernsen shows up to add some gravitas to the film, and Giorgia Whigham, Alysia Reiner, and Paul Soter round out the cast as Morgan’s newfound friends, each bringing their unique flair to the wild adventure that unfolds.

Beneath the laughter and friendship that typically define summer camps lies a disturbing mystery that these kids must unravel. As they band together, navigating treacherous landscapes not just in the woods but within themselves, Morgan learns that bravery isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s about facing your fears in the silence of the night, when the campfire crackles and darkness looms.

With a runtime of 93 minutes, “Marshmallow” packs a punch. The pacing pulls you along, with moments of levity striking the right balance against the rising tension. You feel every heartbeat and breath as these kids race against time to expose the truth… a truth that could change everything.

If you’re up for a blend of horror and adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you want to hug your pillow, wrap yourself in this world of suspense. “Marshmallow” is streaming now on Paramount+, ready to give you chills and thrills you won’t soon forget.
