Camp Blood 666 Part 2: Exorcism of the Clown

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.

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.

If you want a good chilled laid back bloody slasher check this movie out. It's worth it. David Perry is unique and a natural. I could watch him all day! But what caught my eye and kept my attention in the movie was the fact that there was an actual campground. As a camper, Lover of the great outdoors, and a horror movie fan, this was a plus for the movie. The shots of the actual cabins and the lake were great. Location was perfect. Really enjoyed storyline as well especially Stu's story of how he had to fight his demons off. We all experience this and even though the Slashing and the Blood overpowered a little, we still got a great positive message from it!!! I rated the movie based off of the storyline and the location mainly. It's definitely worth the watch. Short movie but very entertaining! Will Collazo, Tim Hatch- Nice... David Perry can't wait to see your next move!! Y'all come on with the next one I'm ready.

Director Will Collazo Jr. And writer Julie Anne Prescott join forces with original producer Dave Sterling to present "Camp Blood 666 Part 2: Exorcism of the Clown." Surprising many, the franchise has evolved from its 2000 origins into a cult classic with numerous spin-offs and sequels. Collazo and Prescott inject their own creativity into the series, elevating its quality and paying homage to the genre. This installment transports viewers into the depths of horror as Camp Blackwood witnesses a new group, led by Pastor Lincoln (Dave Perry) and including Lisa (Jamie Morgan), Bridgette (Heather Harlow), Will (Tim Hatch), and Jeff (Forrest Bennett), unleashing unintended evil during their quest to lay souls to rest. With practical effects dominating over CGI, the film offers a nostalgic horror experience, delivering gore, destruction, and a dose of macabre fun. Collazo's adept direction, combined with a fresh script, breathes new life into the franchise, making it accessible both to devoted fans and newcomers. The absence of CGI amplifies the authenticity of the horror effects, resonating with enthusiasts of the genre.
