When a once-fabled campfire tale becomes real, a group of campers uncover a profound secret that questions their very existence.

Frank Swietek

One Guy's Opinion

Though he’s managed to draw better-than-average performances from his cast of pre-teens, Daniel DelPurgatorio’s mash-up of horror and sci-fi proves ultimately less than the sum of its many parts.

Rated: C

The Pitch

Marshmallow announces DelPurgatorio as a filmmaker worth watching, and Greskoviak as a skilled writer. The solid script is the foundation for a movie so efficiently produced that wise studios should take note.

Tales from the Paulside

It’s a bit of a trek getting to that huge plot change-up, and while I felt the fatigue and frustration setting in, this movie is a trip still worth taking. Just hang in there and you’ll be rewarded.

Rated: 2.5/5

Marshmallow is a surprising gateway horror with a twist that adds some creativity and fun in familiar territory. This is a showcase not just for DelPurgatorio and Greskoviak but also for its incredibly talented cast.

Rated: 8/10

NYC Movie Guru

Refreshingly unpredictable, exhilarating, provocative and genuinely heartfelt. It's kindred spirits with another equally smart, surprising and moving sci-fi movie, Donnie Darko.

This film takes a classic horror story and flips it on its head, adding Sci-Fi elements and big, bloody scares throughout.

Marshmallow is a wonderful coming of age camp movie with the right amount of scare, endearing characters and a great twist! We can all relate to the awkwardness that comes with being a young teen and the friends we make who help us through these times. We absolutely loved this film.

Saw this with my father. Afterwards I told him I could relate to my camp experiences in the ‘70s (not in a good way). That was the most terrifying part to me; realizing that the deep seated suspicion of summer camps could be more real than imagined. This is a refreshing movie that takes your standard predictable “camp slasher” movie and takes you in a different direction. I enjoyed the kid actors and the final twist I didn’t see coming. As mentioned by others, we were in the smallest theater of the megaplex with only 1 other. I regret that very few will have a chance to see this in a theater. It was showing only once per day at a limited number of theaters in our major city. I went in half expecting to waste 90 minutes, but was pleasantly surprised. Added bonus was a trailer for the upcoming “Clown in a Cornfield”. Can’t wait to face more fears of something that is deeply rooted in “normal” life.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
