Camp Blood 2

I chose this movie at the video store with my friend, who is a huge fan of horror films. I've seen plenty of flicks, especially from the horror genre, that suck - but believe me, Camp Blood 2 is just bad, bad, bad.

It must have the lowest budget in cinema history. The filming is pathetically amateurish, with only one camera used by an obviously inept cameraman. The plot is completely unoriginal, totally cliched and fails entirely to engage the audience. The characters are flat, one-dimensional and uninteresting, and the acting is atrocious. Not to mention the script, which, to top it all off, is absolutely diabolical.

You may think I'm going overboard here, but honestly, I'm not. Camp Blood 2 really is this terrible. It is so awful in the extreme that I actually felt mad at whoever made it, because it is criminal to waste even the lowest of budgets on utter garbage such as this.

It must be nice to be Brad Sykes. It must be nice to feel talented. It must be nice to be able to ignore the mountains of evidence that you are not, in fact, talented. It must be nice to have this poor woman Jennifer Ritchkoff in some sort of unholy headlock of blackmail that forces her to appear in your movies. Finally, it must be nice to have SO MUCH MONEY that you can afford to write/direct/produce eighteen movies without ever once making even one of them remotely good. This movie, and its prequel, "Camp Blood", get points for being laugh-out-loud funny, but aside from that, they could quite literally be shown in screen writing/filmography classes as examples of exactly what not to do.

In Camp Crap II the dull frigid annoying woman from the original is in a nut house because nobody, the audience included, believed the yarn about a killer clown in the woods from the original movie. Somehow a two bit director manages to get her released so she can help make a film about it. The director is full of praise for the plot of the original, saying what a great movie it would make. Given how utterly pathetic the first effort was this suggests he never actually watched the first one.

Camp Crud II is just an excuse to show most of the original movie again probably on the assumption that anyone who had seen the original sure as hell wouldn't waste their time with this sequel. There are few additions, like the really ugly naked scene which has nothing to do with the plot, not that there is much anyway.

What really is amazing though is that the already dismal technical quality has dipped to a new low, the worst I've ever seen in a movie that's available to rent or buy. There is no sound. Yes, that's right - no sound. One reason for this could be that they use the same location as the previous movie, this "wilderness" is clearly right next to a road so perhaps the endless traffic drowned out the dialog. So there you have it, a movie so badly made it has no sound other than when a character is speaking. Car doors slam silently, blades chop without a noise..unbelievable.

People claim that some of those old sci-fi movies of the 50's are the worst films ever made but I totally disagree, plan 9 and mesa of lost women are both abysmal but they have spirit and ambition whereas this home made abomination has neither and has no excuse for it either. At least those movies managed to have sound in the right places.

Hands down the worst film I've ever seen. I especially liked the line the director comes out with - "a lot of people walk off these low budget movies" he says. I bet they do when it's this bad.

If we are being honest, every slasher film is the same. Halloween and Friday the 13th are professionally made films and have a cult following, this is the same idea except extermely low budget. There is not much here. Also, i have not seen the 1st one, but i have seen 2005 Camp Blood Within the Woods, and i kinda liked that one.

This one seems like a recap of the 1st one that i have not watched. A film director wanting to recap the original Camp Blood. He gets his crew, and they get killed by the clown. That's kinda the whole thing. Still more interesting then Wrong Turn, August Undergound, Gummo or Begotten honestly.

Well if you are into Slashers go check it out.

Tricia (Jennifer Ritchkoff), the only survivor of the Camp Blood massacre, is locked away in a lunatic asylum, for she is still suspected to have been the murderer herself, although she blames it on "The Clown". A movie director wants to make a no-budget movie about the incident and asks to have her released under supervision to return to Camp Blood, give technical advice and tell the "true" story. However, soon after the arrival in the woods, crew members disappear and "The Clown" is spotted again... "Camp Blood 2" fortunately is more than just hacking and slashing. It is an amateur movie making fun of amateur movies, its bad directors and bad actors. Yes, it is bad! But deliberately putting that to a use, and therefore it's sometimes quite funny. Fans of "Friday the 13th" will enjoy this less than fans of Ed Wood's movies, I suppose.
