Decampitated

Actor Thomas Martwick is by far the highlight of this particular piece, although the other performances are surprisingly good for this genre. Everyone in it is young and good-looking (again, Martwick is the standout) and the gore is campy and creative. You're not in any danger of actually being scared, but you can count on some genuine entertainment spiced with a generous helping of youthful (and charmingly inexperienced) enthusiasm.

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!

Wow I loved this movie. Found it to be funny. Much better than slasher comedies like Scary Movie, and all that crap. This is great! We got the stupidest campers in the world in this film...The "kills" in this movie are really funny, film also has some blood. NO NUDITY though. I know this is Troma, and I know the DVD cover...don't be tempted it includes NO NUDITY. I REPEAT NO NUDITY. FIne with me, I love the movie anyway! These guys did an ingenious job on this film, I cant wait for their next movie. These guys did good directing for this movie, I am sure the budget was low but this is as good as any 60 million dollar budgeted film, believe me. So get this today...you won't be disappointed!

These last months I got to see a couple of Troma films, apart from Toxie 1, which I had seen in 2002. Some of the definite classics (Troma wars, Class of nuke'em high) and some of the so-called 'worst' (Nymphoid barbarian from dinosaur hell, Surf Nazis must die) are some of them. I don't consider myself a Troma completist or expert yet, but I love them already.

OK, we see Troma had minor or no involvement in this one. I am nevertheless thankful to them for financing that. Me being both a serious-film fan but also b-movie/splatter/weird/extreme enthousiast, Troma stuff has to be one of the most original and ahead of it's time entertainment flicks, often not without some political incorrect meanings & provocations. This small independent film is everything a low-budget-in-the-woods-slasher-spoof/evil-dead-clone would ever want to be! Words fail to describe the genuine feeling of pure fun this film can offer to the open minded! I dare to say that this is a step (or two) above the usual Troma comedy standard, for it's amazing pace, sense of humour and its fair acting. Splatter scenes are mediocre but imaginative and funny - and there're a lot of them! I am so glad to see a post from the leading actor. Sure you don't expect "rock-star" attitude from people working on such a film, but it's always nice to see the "artist" break the barriers of the medium and the film industry ethics by coming closer to the audience.

Respect

I would consider myself a pretty big horror movie buff. I love black comedy horror, gore films, teen slashers and whatever else you wish to throw at me. One day, my Troma loving brother-in-law got this new film in the mail - Decampitated. It looked like it may be scary, so I agreed to watch it with him. I was wrong. It was not scary, but at the same time, I found myself walking away from the film with a big smile on my face. I liked it, I actually liked it! Campy as hell, but the film was good. The clever uses of Duck Tape, the weed wacker and prancing killer, was a clever film that almost made you turn the machine off - it was so silly. A couple days later, I found myself asking my Bro if I can watch it again. I think I have seen it 10 times now (which is pretty good, let me tell you) and I will place it in the oh so hard to get into club of "Good Troma Movies" (Standing along the sides of Tromeo and Juliet and Terror Firmer) Good job guys!
