Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre (2009)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Caesar (Dave Campfield) and Otto (Paul Chomicki) are brothers who find themselves on the run from the law. They end up getting jobs as summer camp councilors but before long the group are being brutally murdered one by one.
CAESAR AND OTTO'S SUMMER CAMP MASSACRE isn't a very good movie but it's at least mildly entertaining if you're into these types of low-budget horror movies. In reality, the main reason people are going to be checking this out is that it does feature some famous faces in supporting roles. This includes Brinke Stevens and Joe Estevez who appear in a couple scenes each. The other big draw to the movie is Felissa Rose who of course played Angela in the original SLEEPAWAY CAMP.
There are a lot of nods or jokes aimed at Rose and SLEEPAWAY CAMP and there's no question that she's the main draw to the picture. If you're a fan of that movie then you'll enjoy seeing what Rose has to offer here. As far as the rest of the film goes, well, it's really not totally awful but there's no question that it runs out of gas around the forty-minute mark. This thing clocks in at just 74-minutes and that drags so badly. I mean, I really can't recall too many movies with such a short running time that felt so long! The humor in the film is rather obnoxious and it's certainly hit and miss. I'm not going to lie, I laughed at some of it and I enjoyed seeing the famous faces but there's not much else here. The horror elements are all on target but a little bit more blood or sleaze would have helped keep the film moving.
