This "thing" shouldn't even be acknowledged as a movie. I have wasted an hour with this abomination. About that time I realized that it wasn't worth watching it because it won't get any better, only much much worse! I thought after the first 30 minutes that I may have a few good laughs of how bad it is...but no, that wasn't the case, in fact I had to cry that I've wasted an hour of my life. I could have done other useful things instead of watching this sh*t like, watching grass grow. Let's get into the movie itself now. First of all, the name...why in the hell it's even called Camp Slaughter, when you'll see more blood, gore, violence and killings in a diaper commercial?! The story is something you've already seen in tons of other horror movies, only here everything turns out very poorly. The actors are horrendous, not believable and their lines are just so dumb, even a monkey could come up with better ones. It's like the director almost ran out of time, he finished the script, decorated the sets but he was still missing the actors, so he rushed around the town giving away free 10% off coupons that can be used at a local supermarket for whoever was willing to appear in his movie. The killer in this movie is a big joke, "Bunnyman" ooh, how scary. If someone tells you the name "Bunnyman" do you honestly think it could be the name of a fearsome killer...I sure as hell don't!! It sounds more like the name of a man-whore you would find in the backs of cheap run-down brothels. By any means stay away from this movie because if you watch it, you'd want your eyes to be poked out with hot needles. As you can see, I have rated it a 1 out of 10, but even this rating honors the movie! They should start from zero or enable negative values in order to properly rate this abomination.
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.

I'm the kind of person who quite often rents movies i know i won't like, just because laughing at bad movies can be almost as much fun as seeing something i really appreciate. Sometimes this tactic goes terribly wrong however and the rented film proves to be too bad even for laughs...
Camp slaughter is a story about a few kids who go out to a cabin in the woods to party (although mostly it just seems they want to whine and complain at each other). Of course since this is a murder story bad things happen. Soon enough the kids are being murdered one after one by the ruthless monster "The Bunny Man".
This sucks. It stinks. It's terrible in every imaginable way. It's bad, and not bad in a good way. Basically what we seem to have here is a couple of friends taking their DV-camera out into the woods filming a murder story. That is fine by me, what i wonder is why they released it to the public! And why on earth it appeared on the big screen (because it did in Sweden a short couple of weeks). The problem here is that everything is too lousy, to the point where it's not even fun anymore. The ambition the filmmakers had seemed to be somewhere along the lines of "Friday the 13th". To say they fall short is the understatement of the century.
What disturbs me even more is how easy it would have been to make this a lot less horrible. First of all they could have used Swedish instead of English. It's not a good idea to use a language none of the cast is fluent (or even acceptable) in. Their English is terrible and make many scenes laughable although they try to be serious. Also, a serious re-write of the script was needed. A little much-needed comic relief and more of a "tongue-in-cheek" approach could really have helped raise this a bit above the 1/10-mark.
As it is, this film is unbearable. It is poorly made, horribly acted, terribly scripted. Stay away from this. If you want b-movie fun and something to laugh at there are films more worthy than this terrible outing. I rate it 1/10, simply because there is no lower rating to give.

I had hope that this movie would be a good fall back to the 80's genre horror flicks and that is what it attempted to do, all be it very poorly. This movie was very bad, and bad in a very very bad way not a way in which you want to watch it and laugh at it bad. The biggest problem of this movie is that it is a Swedish film with Swedish actors speaking English. I feel that if this movie was in Swedish the actors probably would have been more comfortable in their roles. Instead it felt like they were trying to remember their lines instead of getting into their parts. I would like to see this movie again in Swedish and preferably with a new soundtrack, the idea is there but the actors are having to work way to hard to remember their lines.
