I admit I watch a lot of bad movies and there even are some that I champion, but Cannibal Campout is not a title I recommend even for people who like to watch crappy movies. Cannibal Campout has its share of gore sure, but its mostly a bore and hard to watch. The plot is nothing any horror fan has'nt seen before(and done better), a trio of hicks hang out in the woods and stalk, kill and eat vacationers camping nearby. Production value, artistry and acting are non existent in this homegrown, hand-held horror film. That dosn't bother me though, what does is that it is slow paced and boring when there is no gore happening on screen. I'm sure this was a labor of love for those involved with this production, but for those of us outside their freindship circle, it is painful to watch.

I'm an avid lover of low budget and even some trash and that's why I decided to give a chance to "Cannibal Campout".

I won't get into the plot because you've seen it before. It deals with the typical group of friends who get lost in a road and guess what? end up being victimized by a group of American cannibals in the woods.

The movie was shot on a handycam obviously but that doesn't means that it's something bad because the direction has an edge and even tries "different" angles. Some humor is involuntary I might add.

Sure, the gore is cheap and the acting atrocious but the movie has a heart and even tries too hard to impress the audience. The American cannibal sub-genre isn't very explored and this is a prime example of how independend and low budget at least tries...

Watch it only if you are a fan of ultra low budget and trash overall.

i found this movie in the small town of Aurora, Nebraska. odd that it should be there, but i took a look nonetheless. its an SOV film, meaning that a bunch of kids with camcorders probably borrowed from school made it. its entertaining at least. bad acting and stupid plot aside. it should be considered a cult classic though, just because of "the gimp" you have to see it to believe it. its a bad movie, but one that everyone should watch before they die.

A long time ago, well back during the 1980's anyway, when if you had 6 friends, a camcorder and a long weekend with nothing to do you could make a movie for there were distributors who, for a hefty share of the profits, would sell it mail order for you. This resulted in a lot of movies hitting the video shelves. Oh sure, they hung around for a while but then most of the sank into the obscurity they so richly deserved. Of course now DVD is playing the role of . . . dare I say it? . . . re-animator and these movies are being resurrected for another go round.

All of which brings me to the movie I am here tonight to talk about. Submitted for your approval, CANNIBAL CAMPOUT.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: 4 best pals hit the road for a weekend of fun, take the wrong road and run into some geeky rural types who mean nothing but trouble. What? You've this plot already? Imagine my surprise! One of the characters even looks at the cannibal clan and remarks "Here come the guys from DELIVERANCE." before the trouble really starts. Our villains are cannibals but they have a good reason for their eccentric eating habits; their mother taught them that fast food and store bought food was full of chemicals and the fresher their meat the better. (I'll give you a moment to groan out loud if you wish.)

The plot is predictable in all ways but one. The female lead (Amy Chludzinsky) takes this outing to break the news to her boyfriend that she is pregnant. So right away you think that she at least is going to make it to the end of the picture, right? Well I won't spoil it for you but remember this is an indie picture not released by a major studio so it is best to approach it knowing all bets are off. The characters all have the IQ of meatloaf (the dinner, not the singer) the gore is bargain basement the acting is . . . well . . . what can you expect? One of the forest dwelling cannibals wears a mask for the whole picture and when he finally pulls it off you get a quick look at his mutated face. It is only a brief glimpse but I could swear he was wearing a Toxic Avenger mask!

This movie is soon to be re-released on DVD. Get it if you must. As for me; been there, done that, lucky to still have intact brain cells.

I had a difficult time tracking down this film. And like most people tracking down a rare, obscure 80's slasher flick, i finally found it on eBay. I watched it the first time as a horror fan, just looking for some blood and gore and i was pleasently pleased. It had the guts, lots of blood, and a dark humor towards killing people :) The second time I watched the film,I watched it as a filmmaker. I was highly impressed with the guy who made this film. The guy who directed the film (Jon McBride) acted in it, financed it, sang the music for it and edited it. And after all that hard work, he came out with a decent low budget gore flick. Sure the acting was bad, but the kids weren't professional actors and did it for free, so what do you expect? and its not half as bad as other low budget flicks, for example "Blood Lake"

There were many various angle shots that went along very smoothly, which is very uncommon for other low budget indie slasher films. If your into cannibal films and looking for an American style unlike the common Italian ones, check this film out. It does a great job at representing the American side of great cannibal films. I would love to see this film out on dvd, but highly doubt it, since no DonnaMichelle film has ever been made on an official dvd release.

Everyone I know that is collecting horror wants this one in his collection as I have. It's a low budget flick clearly made by friends and it's bad no-one can deny that but it's the effects that made its fame.

To be clear, the effects aren't all that good but wisely done and by doing so it looks all nasty and gory.. And that's the reason people are hunting this one down.

The acting and story is of poor quality and in fact 90% of the actors only appeared ones and that is in this flick.

It's out there for the gorhounds or the lovers of low budget flicks. Honestly, it's slow and some situations are really cheesy and conversations are doubtedly numb. One to see with your geeky frinds and starting off with a lot of brewskies.

Gore 2,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 2/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

There is nothing redeemable about this film that I consider to be among the worst of the worst. There is an awful musical number on the way to the campground which is more brutal just to listen to than to watch the cannibals attack the camp. The music is wretched, the film was made with a handicam...and not a very good one at that. I do find a certain appeal in the utter lack of talent and some of the gore is just not reproduceable in any way. The embryo scene...that's all I will say. And the whole movie almost made me go blind.

"Cannibal Campout" is an ultra low-budget, straight-to-video, shot-on-video feature with your everyday college students camping in the woods pitted against a few degenerates who have an acquired sweet tooth for debauchery and human flesh. If it sounds like the typical '80s slasher met some cliché backwoods folks, then you wouldn't be very far off the mark.

This is purposely campy and as a saving grace sometimes humorous as a result. This has self-degradation in the form of outright parodying another movie--Friday the 13th, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, even Top Gun--to being whimsical on its own with certain lines and out-there villains. The music ranges from simple melodies to random keys in a desperate attempt to spice up the not-so-scary mood and paper-thin story line. The acting fluctuates between wooden line reading to nearly pulling off that character. Richard Marcus' character is hands down the most effective due to this kind of crackbrained eccentricity that's in the vein of Chop-Top. There's blood and guts shown mostly in full view instead of the camera pulling away like in a number of "Friday the 13th" sequels due to censor boards.

You can't expect much from these lost, need-an-extensive-map-to-find-'em '80s pictures except to get some kind of brief entertainment or nostalgic value. This could have been cut in half to make an effective short, as there's not much to fall back on as a viewer between all the walking-in-the-woods filler except so many death scenes and some tongue-in-cheek quirkiness that can soon be forgotten after it's over.

My wife Amy was in this movie so I am a little bias but this is probably the worst movie of all time. In fact it is so bad it is great. I mean it is sort of like the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in that it is a movie you love to watch just to make fun of it. There is a small amount of nudity, lots of profanity, and lots of realistic gore. I suppose that some people like it for the gore but that is not why I love this movie. What I love is the sheer stupidity of the characters and ridiculous dialog. If your a fan of Monty Python type humor you will get it, if you are not, you won't and should probably avoid this movie. That is unless you are just into gore.

Note they are re-releasing this movie on DVD. Cast members reunited at Granger Musik and Video Werks on 07/25/06 to shoot interviews and commentary for the new DVD. Believe it or not there may also be music video included on the DVD, a movie inspired song called "Cannibal Campout" by the horror punk band "The Vladimirs".

Hi All-- To be honest, I am not a B-Horror Movie person, until I was involved in the making of one. If you have read this far you must be an aficionado of the Banal, the Bad, the Bs....But they are fun to watch aren't they?

I assisted Jon McBride in the direction and coordination of this made-to-video classic. This was Jon's brainchild, and he did a lot of hard work to make it all happen. I enjoyed my part behind the camera creating scenes from the screenplay with what we had to work with. Many of the death scenes I made up on the spot, going by what Jon had in mind, then using what was available to do my best. I "made up" (without spoiling) a number of the death scenes off the top of my head, and often hand-held the camera, which at first appalled my co-workers, but I got pretty steady as time went on. I felt the hand-held feel gave me more mobility and was less restrictive than being glued to a tripod. This movie was shot with a camcorder in the woods, with no budget to speak of. I think we did some pretty good work here all things considered, and to think it is important enough to have warranted a DVD release is simply amazing in a lot of ways. The cast was very dedicated and unpaid in any way. Everyone showed up faithfully , gave up weekends for most of a summer, suffered through warm clothes to maintain continuity as the temperatures rose. Most people don't realize what goes into any film project, but here on its simplest terms, many hours were spent....I recall we had 6 two hour VHS tapes of footage--12 hours that was edited down to a 90 minute running time. I always enjoyed "Bad" movies, the fact that they are bad makes them entertaining on their own level. We more or less wanted this to be enjoyed as a bad movie. We wanted viewers to scream at their TV sets telling the campers how dumb they are. We purposely borrowed from other horror genres, both as an homage and for potential viewers to groan to themselves while quietly snickering.

I could write a lot here, and felt bad I could not make the commentary filming for the DVD, but I was unavailable on short notice at the time. But in closing I want to thank Jon McBride, Amy Chludzinski, Gene Robbins, Richard Marcus, Carrie Lindell, Christopher A. Granger, Joseph Salheb and the rest of the cast and crew who all worked so hard.

I can't wait for the DVD--I will buy one myself to see all the great extras.

Best Regards to all as I am proud to stand in the company of Edward D. Wood Jr., who was an inspiration to us all....

Made around the same time as Troma's superior "Redneck Zombies" this is still a look at what a old fashioned VHS camcorder could do back in the 80's that didn't involve porno. Create some extremely "so bad it's good" horror movies filled with extreme gore and dark humor. Usually because these movies were made ineptly and the producers knew it there would be no chance for it to be theatrically or even be submitted to the MPAA so they loaded it with offensive violence and carnage..the fetus eating scene proceeded Troma's Terror Firmer scene by 10 years and was done with such bad taste that it's impossible to not like. Fun stuff 8/10

This is a zero-budget film, so you must be prepared for dodgy effects. But if the actors aren't top notch, they are at least keen, and this comes out in the film. Add some great comedy-country tunes and plenty of gore, and what more could you aask for?

You can tell this movie was done with almost no money and some of the acting is hilariously bad. BUT.."hilariously bad" is not truly bad in the sense of tortuous. I was laughing quite often through this ridiculous farce. You have to hand it to someone who can make a movie about cannibals that is fun to watch. It's hard to believe this is Jon McBride's FIRST movie (well either this was his first or another low budget classic called "Woodchipper Massacre" was his first) and Blood Red Planet was a RECENT film he was a part of.

CC is 10 times better and easier to watch then BRP. McBride needs to go back to where he came from and try for more films like Cannibal Campout.

Perhaps Cannibal Campout 2, or a crossover, Cannibal Camper Woodchip Massacre! Woodchip Cannibals!

4 Teens go away for the weekend,only to meet up with 3 maniacs in the woods. Where have I heard that before? This is done in the same vein as Troma's Redneck Zombies only not as gory. The background music is way too loud, and there's some very happy singing by the bunch on the way up, but if you can get past that you'll have a lot of fun with it. Also featured is a very young John Farrell.

I saw this movie when I was in High school. My friends and I still use it to gauge just how bad a movie is. It looks as though a couple of friends got together with a video camera and did a school project. That's the quality of the piece of crap. It's very funny, only because it's so stupid. You can actually see someone off scene(supposed to be off scene) throw blood at a sign when one of the female "actresses" gets killed. Its great to watch with a few beers and some friends for good laughs... that's about it.

You got to love any horror film that takes place out in the woods. Cannibal Camp Out takes place in just that. Somewhere in the woods of New England, four not so brave or smart teens decide to take a weekend vacation in the middle of nowhere. There, they meet up with three crazy cannibals who are very hungry. Guess what happens next! Starring John McBride, Cannibal Camp Out is an example of good gore horror with bad acting.

This unoriginal splatter-flick is only exciting _because_ it's formulaic and silly. It's replete with one-liners and bad cuts that made me proud of my talents with a camcorder. Only see this one with friends -- you'll be bored to death if you're alone, but you'll be able to reflect on how bad this movie is if you bring company.

Besides the obvious fact that this had to of been a low budget film I still found it to be hilarious. Most of the time I found myself laughing more at the way the movie was made and the bad acting then the movie itself. Through it all this movie pulls it off and is a must see for a good laugh.
