Camp Blood 2

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.

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.

This film is great for anyone who wants to make a horror/thriller movie. Its basically the guidelines for how not to make a movie. I saw this movie when i was about 17 years old so my memory is a little rusty. I remember i was in the mood for some cheap horror movies so i picked up camp blood at my local video store, i had no idea what i was getting myself into. I get home and i fire up the movie, about ten minutes into i find myself staring into my bag of popcorn, my mind just wondered off and i was so into my popcorn, totally forgot i was even watching the movie. The movie had lost me and i was in the hands of a bag of delicious butter popcorn.

Point of my story: Stare at a bag of popcorn for 90 minutes, its about the same amount of entertainment but you can eat it!

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.

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.
