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.

Camp Blood 2 never should have been made. I have no clue where they found the actors at but it was very obvious that they didn't know what the heck they were doing. The directors tried to spice the movie up with a nude shower scene and peirced nipples......big friggin deal the movie still sucks!! The plot is very un-original and the special effects are crap!!! Stay far away from!!!!

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.

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.

Well, I can't say this is in any way an original movie. The plot is stolen from any and every other slasher movie. Anymore the killers sex and identity isn't original...It has been done before! The acting is just bad, bad, bad. It was filmed in one in door location, and outside in the woods. I can't say I hate this film, simply because I own it. Yeah, I know...I actually paid for this. But it is a goofy movie, that is fun to watch to kill time and lose your senses.

I have yet to see part 1, but from all the flashbacks in this film, it looks like the plot it exactly the same, or it is just the same film.

Oh, well...nothing original or different...Just silly fun.
