This was definitely a low budget flick and it showed. There was definite problems with the audio track and in a special feature about the special effects you could see how simplistic the effects actually were. I liked the plot but the script and the acting could have been better. some of the campers were kinda cheesy and there was more profanity than I care for. I would like to point out one mistake they made with one time related reference. The visitors to the camp kept referring to Jason from Friday the 13th but the campers didn't know who Jason was. They should have, Though. Friday the 13th came out in 1980 and the campers were stuck in August 1981. Despite how my comments may sound I enjoyed the film and its problems were nothing that a larger budget wouldn't of fixed.
this movie should just be placed in comedy actually I watched this movie because i like horror films this was far from it most of the actors did a really really REALLY bad job in the film luckily there were a couple good ones this movie would've been a great film if it had more fighting scenes rather than boom your dead and a lot less cussing and well less blood oh and no close ups of the weapons the used that was one of the worst things about this movie is all of the weapon close ups i say overall the commercial for this movie was better than the actual thing!!!!!!!!! if you want to laugh at extremely bad acting and cheesy killing watch this if you like horror Don't EVER SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!
I would rather watch fat render then ever see this movie again. The plot seems like Back to the future meets Friday the thirteenth. The audio quality is awful and the is far to many close ups of the actors, the reasoning for this is (in my opinion) the production company did not have and microphone booms to hold above the actors while they conversed and there for had to shoot straight on with their sweet camcorder close ups. You can actually hear the audio pieced together. This movie is not only and insult to your eyes but also your ears. Things i would recommend over this movie would be: 1. getting kicked in the balls over and over again for the full 93 minutes, 2. Having all you finger and toe nails removed, 3. And simply just not watching this movie. Do everyone a favor, if you rent or own this movie (God i hope you don't own this movie)take a key and scratch the disk until it bleeds. The gore effects looked like something a 9 year old could come up with in the back yard. Please don't watch this movie
I attended the Boston screening of Camp Daze. I have recently joined the dark side with other horror genre fans over the past few years. This movie not only surpassed my expectations in terms of gore and blood, it adds humor (with shocking dialogue) to a clever and entertaining story. Jen's delivery of vulgar comments and the exaggerated 80's apparel (especially Ivan's short shorts and belly shirt) will make your mouths drop in shock and laughter. Despite its modern feel, Camp Daze pays its dues to 80s slasher film with its own unique twists and deaths. Even the soundtrack suits the movie's 80s feel of suspense.
I had to give this movie 4 out of 10 because its not total crap as many are saying. There are some very good things here, but unfortunately its lost under a lot of %$#@! It has a promising start that is a homage to the original 'Friday the 13th'. Two lovers wander into the woods for some love. The acting and shooting here is decent. Hurt by cheesy scripting, the performers at least seem to be trying. Not really scary, but old school horror fans will smile at this bit. However, from here it is all downhill.
As we get into the film, it gets marred with a convoluted plot about time travel, which probably sounded good on paper, but doesn't come off well on screen. The acting takes a nose dive, as does the scripting. In fact most of the leads in this movie are terrible actors that look like gay porn stars. The supporting stars seem to be much better overall.The crazy fat girl seems to have the most talent of the bunch. The special effects are pretty bad and the score is awful.
You can see hints of a good film in here, and its really a shame. I know horror doesn't have to have Al Pacino, but if they casted for talent before model 'stud' looks and did another draft on the script they may have had something here.
