Camp Slaughter

You know, during this entire movie i expected everyone to start whipping off their clothes and start making-out. Look, the acting is appalling, trying to ignore it is futile. Things just don't add up, i mean i know its low budget and all, but if a person is repetitively stabbed, there will be at least a little blood on the knife! The acting could have been improved if the actors felt the moment, i felt like screaming it after a while! I'm all for independent movies, but if the movie is as bad as it was, then you shouldn't use such a good looking cover! And also, a psychic ability should have some sort of introduction (but don't worry, its only a 3 second thing that has no follow through, so no plot spoiler here)!

Nobody likes a bad movie, but sometimes you come across one that is so extremely bad it actually becomes enjoyable. This is the case with Camp Slaughter.

Director Martin Munthe's idea of paying homage to his favorite slasher films (Friday the 13th) is by making one that is even worse. The so called effects were outdated even twenty years ago, and the story is a joke. However, you may not notice this since you are so busy laughing at the actors. Not only do they read their lines in the worst form of Swenglish, there's also an embarrassing lack of devotion and experience.

You just have to watch this.

The Swedish horror film "Camp Slaughter" from 2004 is one of few Europeen amateur horror films I have seen. The idea of the filmmakers was to make a tribute to 70s and 80s horror flicks like Friday the 13th. With a mixture of splatter, typical horror and somewhat failed humour it is obvious that the film is a amateur production, and of course the actors are not very good either. If you are fond of the German amateur splatter "Barricad (-Welcome to hell)" you will definitely like this one. Although I myself do not like splatter amateur films (Due to special effects, actors etc.) I do appreciate amateur tributes. Unfortunately, because of the use of humour in this movie, the watcher might get the feeling of a parody rather than a tribute This is definitely worth a view if you like 80s horror flicks, and especially if you do not mind a little bit bad acting.

I must agree with the above comment...so bad its good..holy crap...i laughed the whole time...a definite MUST SEE!!!! I knew nothing about it, just saw the title, and being a horror movie fan i thought, I MUST SEE THIS...and man am i ever glad i did!! The best part is how it seems as though the reason the movie is in English is to 'break' into the North American market or something...cos really, the English is pretty bad...like they don't actually understand what they are saying, its all just phonetically pronounced...AMAZING SEE IT!!! However don't blame me if you don't like it...not for all tastes...just don't go into it thinking its gonna be some arty foreign horror movie...foreign yes, arty no...definitely amazing!!

This movie is quite possibly one of the worst to ever make it out of an editing room. It has nothing, lousy camera work (I think I found three shots that had some form of focus, no color correction anywhere... a complete mess), an even worse script and no acting whatsoever (and why, oh why did they do it in English?).

I can try to find anything positive about this movie... and still fail utterly. Not even as a joke would this work. I've seen the pre-release of another Swedish b-horror called "The Unknown". It was made with 1/10 the budget, but is way way superior to this one in all aspects.

To put this short: NO, do NOT see this movie. No matter what you expect, you WILL be disappointed.
