I will say that unlike most comments, I liked the look of this movie. The time warp thing should have been used more. After it was introduced, they never really done anything else with it.The gore was pretty lame. Every kill was almost the same. Maybe a little cherry pie filling coming out of the mouth. The score was pretty nice. The composer did a great job with the 80's themed music and the use of strings, which really captured the sound of the 80's slasher. I agree with the other comments with the over use of close ups. It's like they had a camera mounted Mic and were trying to stay in close enough range for the best audio. I think these filmmakers have some talent, I think they just need to concentrate more on good audio, and developing a solid plot.
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!!!!!!

OK, so I'm bias. I had the opportunity to work on this film and mostly I can say it was a great deal of fun and a lot of long days. I realize it was not a greatly made movie, but I'd like to see someone do better on such a low budget with such a tight shooting schedule. This movie was shot in Maine over the course of about a week and a half. Every person on crew got about 4-6 hours of sleep due to the extended shooting schedule. Of the equipment it was not the best, lots of clamp lamps, simple rigs, etc. But the cameras and sound equipment were better than most used in independent production. The people involved were a blast!!! Some of the most fun I have ever had was working on this movie. The death scenes were a blast to see setup, I even got to be in one, as one of the stoners (the blonde one)who gets impaled which shotgunning a joint. Most of the crew, at least it's true when it came to me, got paid very little to nothing. And for me, having virtually no film experience it was a great learning experience. I would like to get into acting/filming and anything at all that you can have on a reel is better than nothing. Oh, and Camp Slaughter (Camp Daze) won Best Feature at the Indy Film Festival, so some of the horrible opinions of this movie that can be found here should be ignored by anyone interested in checking this film out.
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 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
