Camp Blood

I'm giving this a '8' rating because Camp Blood is hilarious, in an unintentional way of course. This film might suck for the 'serious' mainstream horror crowd, but if you're a fan of so-bad-so-'entertaining' movies Camp Blood surely delivers on most accounts. It starts off pretty good (in a bad way) as you get you're typical slasher clichéd set up served with an outdoors sex scene (including looped footage) followed by a cheesy double murder. After that we are introduced to the main players of this epic, and the film actually gears down a few notches ... However, it's still pretty amusing because one of the actors has a habit of spitting out bad language by the minute, plus you get Thatcher! Thatcher is a riot but I won't say more ... see and believe! The film picks up in the final 20-30 minutes with an onslaught of goofy (not intended of course) over-the-top slasher-action that made me laugh so hard I was still hurting the next day.

Camp Blood may not be as classy as Troll 2 or A Night To Dismember but still worthy tracking down if you're into that kind of stuff.

I am a true Horror fan, if it's low budget ive probably seen it as well. i can understand that people out there who are the same as me, don't mind bying low budget horrors, with slightly wonky cameras, bad, bad acting, so when i bought this i new it was going to be like all the other really lame horror flicks id'd seen, but somehow still enjoyed, but please please pooolease, let me warn you, stay away from this utter crap, it is really bad, even the actors are laughing at themselves, bad picture, orange blood, just watch the beginning where the blond climbs over the twig, and then falls down in the stream, it's the most insulting piece of rubbish ive ever seen.

Think of your friends, a camera and you laughing, that's how bad

Where oh where can I start?!?!

First off... I won't even attempt talking about the plot... as others have...

This is the WORST movie I've ever seen!! BUT IT'S SO GOOD!!! It's so bad... and cheezy... and cheap, that's it's the best movie I've seen in forever!!!

The director must have known the actors like as friends, because... who would pick those people?!?! I mean, REALLY! The lead girl.. is NOTHING like stars look now... She's.. just.. not a star looking person.. LOL. And you know how movies are now, and her boyfriend looks like a model.. perfect body.. it's just weird!!

And JAY.... Played by Tim Young.. is... ADORABLE! But so stupid!!! He really is cute... I won't say anymore.. lol

And, err... how exactly did lead girl know that that girl was Harris's girlfriend!?!? No one told her...

But really... I have no idea what happened at the end. It MADE NO SENCE. IT MADE NO SENCE. It confused me, bad... First, like let's say Mulholland Dr. has done, had characters being different people, because someone dreamed or imagined it all.. that's what I thought at first!! But... then... I mean I don't know.. was it the same people, just playing different roles, because the budget was SO CHEAP!? Couldn't they have got a few people who didn't care about money to do that minute of filming?? Oh well...

It doesn't make sence, but still, I liked the movie! But really, the only reason I liked it is because Tim Young is cute, probably...

Well, I give it a 7/10 for fun value!!

Apparently the writer and director of this direct-to-DVD slasher movie is a fan of Friday 13th and other summer camp slashers. This movie has everything - a group of teenagers who want to spend the weekend with fun, alcohol and sex in an abandoned summer camp called "Camp Blood", the old man who warns them not to go there; and of course the crazy killer with the machete who keeps on slashing and hacking at the teenagers without any reason at all... The whole thing could have worked if it had been shot on 35 mm film with acceptable Special Effects. But instead the Special Effects are poorly done. The killer walks around as if he's out on a Sunday afternoon stroll, and the only good things about this movie are the acting of the talented main actress and the sex scene at the beginning. Other than that - dull and forgettable. Jasper P. Morgan

Camp Blood (2000)

** (out of 4)

Four friends decide to take a trip to a camp site even though the locals warn them about the place. It appears several people have gone into the woods but never came out. The four are taken deep into the woods by their guide but before long they are attacked by a man wearing a clown mask.

Brad Sykes' CAMP BLOOD is a film that pays homage to several other slashers with the main one being quite obvious. I doubt anyone would have guessed in 2000 that this film would turn into such a long-running series but it was about time that I finally caught up with it. For the most part this was entertaining for what it was and I at least give the director credit for giving horror fans what they want when it comes to a slasher like this.

I often watch recent low-budget horror movies and it always shocks me that they don't feature nudity, violence or gore. I mean, aren't these important things for this type of slasher picture? Thankfully these items are delivered here and it was a joy getting to watch the practical effects. There's obviously nothing ground-breaking here but at the same time what blood and violence there is was entertaining and yes there's nudity as well.

The performances are pretty much what you'd expect for a film like this but they're actually a tad bit better than average. The special effects were nice and as I said I give the director a lot of credit for delivering something that fans would want to see. There's nothing "new" done with the material but at the same time it's a mildly entertaining film that will appeal to fans of the genre.
