Cannibal Campout

Everyone I know that is collecting horror wants this one in his collection as I have. It's a low budget flick clearly made by friends and it's bad no-one can deny that but it's the effects that made its fame.

To be clear, the effects aren't all that good but wisely done and by doing so it looks all nasty and gory.. And that's the reason people are hunting this one down.

The acting and story is of poor quality and in fact 90% of the actors only appeared ones and that is in this flick.

It's out there for the gorhounds or the lovers of low budget flicks. Honestly, it's slow and some situations are really cheesy and conversations are doubtedly numb. One to see with your geeky frinds and starting off with a lot of brewskies.

I admit I watch a lot of bad movies and there even are some that I champion, but Cannibal Campout is not a title I recommend even for people who like to watch crappy movies. Cannibal Campout has its share of gore sure, but its mostly a bore and hard to watch. The plot is nothing any horror fan has'nt seen before(and done better), a trio of hicks hang out in the woods and stalk, kill and eat vacationers camping nearby. Production value, artistry and acting are non existent in this homegrown, hand-held horror film. That dosn't bother me though, what does is that it is slow paced and boring when there is no gore happening on screen. I'm sure this was a labor of love for those involved with this production, but for those of us outside their freindship circle, it is painful to watch.

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!

4 Teens go away for the weekend,only to meet up with 3 maniacs in the woods. Where have I heard that before? This is done in the same vein as Troma's Redneck Zombies only not as gory. The background music is way too loud, and there's some very happy singing by the bunch on the way up, but if you can get past that you'll have a lot of fun with it. Also featured is a very young John Farrell.

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
