Glamping (2025) – Movie Review | Tubi (2/5)

GLAMPING on Tubi is a new horror thriller with a slasher story. Well, in theory, anyway. It takes a long time to get to this point, which means that for much of its runtime, it’s more of a drama. A shame, as the core premise is intriguing enough. Read our full Glamping horror movie review here!

GLAMPING is a new Tubi horror thriller, which I admittedly expected a lot more from. With Tubi, it can be hits or misses, so you never really know. However, we have been treated to some pretty amazing horror movies in recent times, and the premise for this one sounded strong.

Unfortunately, the title (or plot) of this horror thriller doesn’t truly come into play until the third and final act. That means you need to sit through an hour (plus commercials) before the horror element truly kicks in. Far too long for any horror movie to show its genre – so to speak.

No Glamping, No Horror

This new Tubi horror movie may be titled Glamping, but I’m here to tell you it doesn’t feature much glamping or horror. I mean, even the official plot on the Tubi streaming platform speaks of a “dream cabin getaway”.

Now, you can accuse me of mincing words, but by definition, “Glamping” is a word made up of the words “Glamorous” and “Camping”. As in a luxury camping trip. Well, this Tubi movie, once it actually gets to this part, is about four friends who go to a cabin in the woods.

Not on a glamping trip or experience of any kind.

Admittedly, the title of Cabin in the Woods isn’t as fun or fresh as Glamping, but it would be more accurate. So would focusing on the influencer element, which is what actually makes up most of the runtime in this horror thriller.

Solid premise, terrible execution

Yeah, I’m sorry, but as intriguing as the premise of this Glamping horror movie sounds, it just does not deliver. The story may be strong, in essence, but the screenplay (or possibly the execution of the storytelling) is lacking in so many ways.

I absolutely love the idea of using influencers and our need to share everything online at the center of a horror movie. Sure, it is no longer the most innovative approach, but it still works.

Or rather, it should work.

Also, it’s cool that Glamping stars someone who won a competition. She isn’t my new favorite scream queen or anything, but she does her best with what she’s given. The star of Glamping is Rosemary Idisi, and she won the “Stubios Greenlight Contest“.

No, that’s not a typo, it’s a Tubi contest, so it’s called “Stubios”.

Hopefully, we’ll see Rosemary Idisi in another role that will do her more justice – or prove whether this is all there is expect. Again, overall, the actors are fine in this Tubi horror movie, but the story doesn’t help them deliver anything out of the ordinary.

Niki Koss is the director of Glamping, and this isn’t the first genre movie from the filmmaker. Personally, I know Niki Koss more as an actor. Not least, as she was in one of my favorite horror comedies: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015).

The screenplay comes from Alexa Gartster, and this is only the second writing credit for the writer. First was Coyote Creek Christmas, a Hallmark Christmas movie. Before you think this is a bad sign. The same was the case for the filmmakers of Anything for Jackson.

Unfortunately, there are several issues with this Tubi horror movie, which begin with the title and poster teasing a movie much more kitsch and slasher-like than what it delivers. Ultimately, however, the biggest issue for me was that the horror slasher element takes forever to kick in.

A shame that this couldn’t deliver on what the premise promised, but I’m sure it will still entertain plenty of viewers who give it a shot on Tubi. I’m just not one of them.

Glamping is out on Tubi on October 24, 2025.
