Decampitated

The opening scene in Decampitated, features a young lady, running from our lovable madman, as she VERY slowly meets a gruesome, yet hilarious end, she sure had some bad luck. Few people really die in Decampitated, characters' loose limbs, and spill enough blood worthy of a Mel Gibson epic, yet do not die.If you enjoyed classic Troma films like Terror Firmer, Tromeo And Juliet, Tales From The Crapper, etc. You'll enjoy this. However if this is your first Troma experience, I guarantee nothing, Troma is an acquired taste. I love it personally, but you have to enjoy gross out humor, mixed with comedic gore, and wacky characters'. Weapons utilized in this movie include a weed whacker, and even a fishing pole. On a side note, Bethany Lavoo, looks like Charisma Carpenter's twin sister, the resemblance is uncanny. My only complaint, is that the movie runs a little to long, with extended scenes of nothing, that could have been edited down to make a more compact film.

I admit, I'm not even remotely a Troma fan! I think they're dumb ugly films and have never seen the appeal. For that reason I wasn't exactly the demographic for this going in.

Here we see Troma do a spoof of your traditional slasher flick. We have a group of 20 somethings go camping in the forest, a mixed bag of your traditional stereotypes and they fall foul of serial killer.

To the films credit the killer is fairly interesting, a jovial fellow who skips along and uses all manner of weapons to dispose of his prey.

Further to the films credit there are some laughs to be had, I personally for example laughed out loud at the opening sequence.

Sadly that really is all I can say in favour of the film. Alike every other Troma movie it looks ugly, it sounds dreadful and for every good joke there are a dozen more that simply aren't funny.

Troma just isn't my thing, never has been and likely never will. It's dumb fun, without the fun.

The Good:

Has a few laughs

The Bad:

Looks like crap

Sounds like an early VHS

Mostly unfunny nonsense

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When caught in a bear trap use your machete on your leg instead of the trap. Duh!

Vibrators make great drink stirrers

Limbs are like lego bricks, they just clip back on

This was so much fun to make! EVERYONE involved did a great job and the end result is a hilarious spoof! Don't expect to be scared, this is not a typical horror film, but there is plenty of blood and effects to enjoy. The humor is tongue in cheek, and not everyone will "get" some of the jokes. The only way to watch this is with an open mind, and you just want to be entertained. Check out Fast Food Films on the FX Channel for their 10 minute version, you can look up the details on their website as far as the scheduled airdates. I just hope you like it.

First of all, don't expect a scary film. This is not a spoof, or a take on any one horror film and Troma had nothing to do with this film except to buy it once it was done and distribute it. This was all written, directed and acted independently. If you take all of the 80's horror films and took out all the seriousness, this is what you are left with. All I can say, is I am extremely proud of this film and the fantastic job everyone did in the film and behind the scenes. The script may not be the best but if you don't "get" the humor you must not be from this planet. The opening scene sets the pace for the film, it is a fast paced, campy comedy about some teens who are reluctant participants of a camping trip to DeCamp Acres. You find yourself asking, "Why are these guys camping together, they can't stand each other!" Filled with EXTREME OVER-ACTING (on-purpose), this really rips on the whole horror genre trying to take themselves to seriously. I had so much fun being involved with this project and even more fun seeing the final result! Please take the time to see it once. Trust me, if you know what to expect going into this film, you won't be disappointed! Oh, one more thing, please forgive the "Jim Carrey" acting in some parts, I was a big fan!

Yay for Troma!! Yay for duct tape!! Possibly the funniest horror spoof in existence. A laugh every five seconds, and the gore rarely stops, once it starts. A fast-paced farce that makes Scary Movie look like Date Movie. This is Decampitated. Decampitated is about seven friends who don't seem to like, or even know each other very well, nonetheless, they decide to go camping together, although they know nothing about the activity. Seriously, these people know as much about camping as Hulk Hogan knows about wrestling. The leader of our group, Garrett, a hyper, long-haired, twig of a man, despite not being very bright, really knows how to take charge. Garrett's lazy friends reluctantly join him in his quest to rough it, and luckily, the car doesn't break down till they reach the wilderness. The happy campers decide to camp as planned then get the car fixed, but we soon discover, there's a killer in the woods, but luckily, there's seven campers, that's more than enough to fight off the killer, especially if they all stick together, right? To say. these people don't have each others backs, would be an understatement. When a horror-spoof, courtesy of Troma, comes off more like something from Nickelodeon, but still manages to kick ass, you know you've got a winner on your hands. Perhaps the flat-out best Troma movie on the planet, that wasn't directed by Lloyd Kaufman. Decampitated is gory, self-parodying, constantly entertaining, and, of course, hilarious. Also, you'll never realize how useful duct tape actually is until you see this movie. The cheesiness is magnificent. Troma struck gold with this one, and if you buy it, you'll see why. Yay for Decampitated!! 9/10
