    Campy Cannibals create kooky calamities

    You can tell this movie was done with almost no money and some of the acting is hilariously bad. BUT.."hilariously bad" is not truly bad in the sense of tortuous. I was laughing quite often through this ridiculous farce. You have to hand it to someone who can make a movie about cannibals that is fun to watch. It's hard to believe this is Jon McBride's FIRST movie (well either this was his first or another low budget classic called "Woodchipper Massacre" was his first) and Blood Red Planet was a RECENT film he was a part of.

    CC is 10 times better and easier to watch then BRP. McBride needs to go back to where he came from and try for more films like Cannibal Campout.

    Perhaps Cannibal Campout 2, or a crossover, Cannibal Camper Woodchip Massacre! Woodchip Cannibals!

    Ridiculous!!

    I saw this movie when I was in High school. My friends and I still use it to gauge just how bad a movie is. It looks as though a couple of friends got together with a video camera and did a school project. That's the quality of the piece of crap. It's very funny, only because it's so stupid. You can actually see someone off scene(supposed to be off scene) throw blood at a sign when one of the female "actresses" gets killed. Its great to watch with a few beers and some friends for good laughs... that's about it.

    at least its better than Cannibal Hookers...

    i found this movie in the small town of Aurora, Nebraska. odd that it should be there, but i took a look nonetheless. its an SOV film, meaning that a bunch of kids with camcorders probably borrowed from school made it. its entertaining at least. bad acting and stupid plot aside. it should be considered a cult classic though, just because of "the gimp" you have to see it to believe it. its a bad movie, but one that everyone should watch before they die.

    Enjoyable trash.

    I'm an avid lover of low budget and even some trash and that's why I decided to give a chance to "Cannibal Campout".

    I won't get into the plot because you've seen it before. It deals with the typical group of friends who get lost in a road and guess what? end up being victimized by a group of American cannibals in the woods.

    The movie was shot on a handycam obviously but that doesn't means that it's something bad because the direction has an edge and even tries "different" angles. Some humor is involuntary I might add.

    Sure, the gore is cheap and the acting atrocious but the movie has a heart and even tries too hard to impress the audience. The American cannibal sub-genre isn't very explored and this is a prime example of how independend and low budget at least tries...

    Watch it only if you are a fan of ultra low budget and trash overall.

    low budget fun

    Made around the same time as Troma's superior "Redneck Zombies" this is still a look at what a old fashioned VHS camcorder could do back in the 80's that didn't involve porno. Create some extremely "so bad it's good" horror movies filled with extreme gore and dark humor. Usually because these movies were made ineptly and the producers knew it there would be no chance for it to be theatrically or even be submitted to the MPAA so they loaded it with offensive violence and carnage..the fetus eating scene proceeded Troma's Terror Firmer scene by 10 years and was done with such bad taste that it's impossible to not like. Fun stuff 8/10

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Most of the movie was filmed guerrilla-style, meaning no permits and lots of secret locations. While filming the scene where Amy Chludzinski is being pursued through the woods by a knife-wielding cannibal, a New Jersey Forest Ranger unknowingly stumbled onto the set. Director Jon McBride immediately halted production for fear the Ranger might get the wrong idea and actually shoot somebody.
    • Quotes

      Jon: [after escaping the cannibals for the first time] Well, it sure was an intresting way to start off a weekend.

      Chris: Yeah, and I hope it doesn't get any more intresting.

      Amy: Ditto.
