      Beyond the need for a clear protagonist, this sounds interesting,

      As The_CNI said.

      This is the kind of situation that demands a protagonist, some one who takes charge.? If there is no alpha character in a leadership role, if all the members are co-equals, then there’s nobody to unite and lead the group, resolves disputes and differing ideas of what should be done.? Which means they’re all doomed.

      And I don’t see how movie knowledge has anything to do with enhancing their chances of survival.? ?Be that as it may, I think it would be more interesting if? they expect the zombies to act just like the ones they see in the movies — but the zombies don’t.??

      fwiw

      You’ve got a good high concept premise with the potential for some fun, zany kind of meta humor (Scream meets Night of the Living Dead).
      The concern which I’m not sure if you’ve answered yet is the lack of a clear main protagonist. As you asked before, it would work as the Leader of the Film Club (or even a secondary leader who has to take charge?)

      Good luck!

      This different format trims it by 11 words (still a long shot)

      “Arriving late at the campsite, when the movie club finds the rest of their campmates devoured by zombies, film knowledge becomes their only chance at evading the undead”

      Make that “their mentor’s film knowledge becomes their only chance….” for a single protagonist

      PS. They are late because their bus got a flat tire, without which they cannot leave when they finally reach

      Good Luck mikepedley85!!

      Why don’t they outrun the zombies?

      Or, What’s keeping them locked inside?
      Think “monster in the house” paradigm of blake snyder. Can a “camping trip” serve as the “house” element that traps them in?

      Other than that…???????? perfect. I’m hooked to see how they use their movie knowledge for survival. So much scope!

      Good Luck with your writing mikepedley85!!
