Camp Blood 666 Part 2: Exorcism of the Clown

I really disliked this movie. The camp blood franchise has always been diabolical and embarrassing but this one is one a whole new level of cringe. The fact that this managed to raise about $9000 via indiegogo and people actually support it is beyond me. Erica Dyer is very annoying in the film and quite over dramatic as she peaks the sound whenever she opens her mouth. Everybody's death scene looks awkward or unenthusiastic. Characters were instantly forgettable and I can't say for certain this will be a memorable film. Lots of continuity errors, editing mistakes, bad CGI, rubbish character development.

Why are there so many of these films in the franchise? Why is this even a franchise?

The Script was really bad. I mean really bad. It looks like it was shot on a handycam from the 90s. Lighting appears to be from worklights from HOME DEPOT. I'm guessing most of the "actors" paid to be in the movie. Also, how do you run a crowdfunder, have people to pay to be on your movie...only to cut them out and put them on the "rough cut"? This seems to be very shady and i would say this could severely hinder future projects with this group.

When you watch a micro budget film you can overlook certain things if the movie has something good to offer. This does not have anything of value to offer.

The funny thing about the infamous Camp Blood series is that I do like the first two films of the series. They are very low budget slasher flicks that are pretty enjoyable. Part III is OK as well. The rest have been bad at best and really terrible at worst.

The newest Camp Blood film called Camp Blood 666 Part II Exorcism of the Clown, is not the worst of the seines but it still is really bad. It involves a cult and not one but two psycho killer clowns. Its a poorly made mess. The clown(s) go against a church group on the camp grounds of Camp Blood. Chaos ensues. The gore is very low budget looking. Nothing great here.

Producer David Sterling is back with another addition to his cult franchise Camp Blood. Camp Blood 666 Part 2: Exorcism of the Clown is a worthy sequel to the original, and a fun addition to the Camp Blood universe. Director Will Collazo Jr. And writer Julie Anne Prescott did a great job of capturing the spirit of the previous Camp Blood movies.

Lots of kills in this installment, with a fun mix of practical and VFX effects. Marvin Maddicks Jr. Did an excellent job scoring the movie, he sets the tone perfectly. There are too many great performances to mention them all by name here, but I was happy to see indie stalwarts Tim Hatch and Jamie Morgan, as well as up and comers David Perry and Heather Harlow, who are quickly becoming indie horror staples, in significant roles. I also loved seeing Clint Beaver in his recurring role as a newscaster. If an indie movie has a newscaster and it's not Clint Beaver, what are they even doing? If you're a fan of indie horror, you're going to see a lot of familiar faces in Camp Blood 666 Part 2.

Clocking in at a brisk 71 minute runtime, the movie doesn't drag. It's well paced and the perfect length for an indie horror. You won't be looking at your watch during this one.

I had a lot of fun with this movie and I'm excited to see Will and Julie's next movie, Amityville Turkey Day, a sequel to Amityville Thanksgiving.

I am a fan of the Camp Blood Franchise and I can say that with the series going into the double digits (if you count spinoffs like this) it surprisingly has more hits than misses....sadly this falls into the miss category.

This is a film that kind of follows up on the original Camp Blood 666 with a possessed mask and some supernatural elements thrown in. In this film we seen Camp Blood is under new management and of course the killer clown cult has returned so you know you are going to have some Clown Killing action.

The plot is not a hard one to do when it comes to killer clown slasher films. You have a camp with people in it and you have them all get killed. I can say that the worst thing about this for me is that I was bored. Though I would not put this film up to the level of Camp Blood 4 and 5 (still by far the worst in the franchise) I will say that this is right in there with Camp Blood 3: First Slaughter where I kind of felt there wasn't much that caught my attention for long.

The acting in this was fair when it comes to microbudget films ($10,000 budget). I do feel that many of these actors have done much better work than was seen here. I will point out a few people that made brief appearances that I enjoyed seeing and wanted to bring to light. Kyle Rappaport had a bit at the end that was very fun and I enjoyed looking for Tim Hatch,. Cody Tudor, John Ward and Forrest Bennett in the scenes which gave me something to do during the film's run time.

The effects were kind of poor if you compare it to some of the newer Sterling Run (3-8) but especially fall short of the original Sykes trilogy. I feel that anyone directing this series should sit down and watch the Sykes Trilogy and get back to basics or at least take some inspiration from the Axegrinder series that feels much more like a successor to those films than this did. In the end the clown mask is the best part of this film for me.

The Music was for the most part forgettable. It did what it needed to do and didn't step on any feet.

I feel that the camp blood series has been a roller coaster over the years with the highs being in the original Sykes trilogy then the lows of the new #3 through the lowest point of part 5 to the newer highs of the classic 666. The series had been mostly doing fair to good since that time, finding its stride and moving forward. With this movie I feel that new lows are coming and this brings concern with Director Will Colazo Jr. Taking the wheel for the 9th installment.

Still, in the end this is a franchise that will rise again in time so it is well worth sticking by and seeing where it goes next.
