The plot of "Motor Home Massacre" is pretty simple:a group of seven young friends climb aboard a vintage RV headed for a fun-filled weekend in the woods called Black Creek Park until they encounter a night-vision goggled,machete-wielding psychopath.I must admit that I did laugh few times during the film.However the acting is horrid,the story itself is silly and routine and the gore effects are extremely weak.The characters are some of the dumbest in the horror genre history.Thankfully the last twenty minutes are a constant flood of plot twists and laughs.Unfortunately there are far too many scenes of the characters just sitting around and endlessly delivering stupid one-liners,so there's absolutely no suspense conjured up and sustained.The murder sequences are ineptly handled and there's not a single valid scare to be found anywhere.4 out of 10.
So I consider this one of the worst movie's I have watched. It is so bad that it is funny to watch. I really can't believe Lionsgate produced it. Like people said, their are mistakes like a guy outside of the motor home in a button sweater and going inside with a vest and tie on.... like they shot it in different days. I could be wrong.... it could of been put in their on purpose. People say good gore? The gore is completely fake looking. The acting was yet horrid... good looking girls but they really couldn't act. There are scenes that are just like a soap opera like (girl "when did you pick these flowers?"...guy "right before sunrise baby, when I gave you breakfast in bed!) The things people say at times in it are completely dumb. However I do brag about this movie for how bad it is that people must watch it. Want a good laugh? this is one that will make you laugh
This is why people think horror films are such a joke, this one proves it all. It's stupid characters, dumb bimbo women and stupid gore and a killer who right away is figured out. I swear this film had Lion's Gate behind it. I can't believe what is on the mind of some writers and directors. Could we once get back to what makes a horror film superb? Good character development, good story line, suspense, that too hard? I didn't have sympathy towards the victims, I cheered they were killed off. I can't believe some horror films direct to DVD or video. Take time writing out characters and brainstorm ideas. Even the old 80's were better than this one.
This film could have been a return to form for the slasher genre. With a plot similar to so many of the 80's slasher gems, I had at least some hope for this film when I popped it into my DVD player. Sadly, those hopes quickly vanished as I began to watch amateur,sloppy film-making at it's worst. And that is really too bad, because with a better director and production team, and certainly better actors, this film could have been decent. Hell, I could have made this a better film with everything I noticed that was wrong.
The plot is simple slasher cliché: a group of friends take a motorhome trip for the weekend, only to come upon a campsite, where the night before a couple was brutally butchered. They are told since they *may* be suspects, that they need to stay put. It isn't long before they begin getting picked off one by one by a ridiculous looking masked killer. The filmmakers seem confused about what kind of film they really want to be making: a comedy? a slasher film? a drama? This leads to many scenes that could have and should have been suspenseful becoming a laughable mess. Suspense is lacking throughout the entire film, particularly in key scenes when suspense should have been crucial. The setting of the film is actually pretty creepy, and a better director would have capitalized on that. Instead, most of the film's action takes place in well-lit areas that seem to be right off the side of the road. There are virtually NO stalk sequences, which should be a staple to any good slasher flick. There are also some pretty large plot holes and goofs...the most obvious being the disappearing and reappearing vest and tie combo of the main male lead. From reading other reviews here, I am glad to know I am not the only one that noticed that. Which leads me to wonder if the director and editor even watched the film after they shot it. After all, if I and others could spot this on our first viewing, it should have been painfully obvious to the crew. And the scene at the end where this same male lead gets attacked and hacked on the chest and arms about 2 dozen times with a large machete, only to appear with just a few spots of blood on his arms is just TOO ridiculous to ignore.
The acting is pretty bad, from every one involved. Laughably bad, at some points.
It's really sad that this film COULD have been a lot better. With a name like "Motor Home Massacre," slasher fans should at least expect to see a decent movie. And what takes place in this film is hardly a massacre.........Please don't waste time or money on this unless you want to witness how NOT to make a slasher film. A huge disappointment. 2 out of 10

First off let me just say that this was the worst film i have ever seen in my life. It was purely an amateur film. Most of the actors are just awful stereotypes of stupid teens. I have never seen such terrible acting in my days. What is up with all of the nude scenes? I see this movie as light pornography. I have enjoyed all of the Lions gate films I have seen in the past, but the thought that Lions Gate could have produced a piece of garbage like this is just insane. I would like to know why the cover shows a man holding a chainsaw? There isn't a single chainsaw in the entire movie. Every video, every disk, EVERYTHING that has anything to do with this movie should be buried and forgotten. Don't even waste your time on this film.
