Plot

Eight people are chosen to compete on Camp Slasher, a new horror-themed game show in which the contestants must complete challenges while trying to avoid a masked killer, one who is based on a local urban legend.

Reception

Bloody Disgusting praised the gore, criticized the screenplay and acting, and gave the film a final score of 3/5, concluding, "Woensdag may not be a great movie but it sure is entertaining and it being a relatively short movie (75 minutes) helps keep the pace and our attention up".^[2] The acting, dialogue, story, and production values were all panned by Neerlands Filmdoek, which gave Woensdag a grade of 1½ while also conceding that, "Nevertheless, there is still something to enjoy for lovers who have no objection to these shortcomings; the film is never boring and has enough amusing horror moments, fitted with the necessary gore".^[3] Top of the Flops gave Woensdag a similar commendation, noting that despite the drawbacks inherent in it being a "semi amateurish production" the film was still enjoyable as something "designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts".^[4]
