Cannibal Campout

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.

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.

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 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.

I had a difficult time tracking down this film. And like most people tracking down a rare, obscure 80's slasher flick, i finally found it on eBay. I watched it the first time as a horror fan, just looking for some blood and gore and i was pleasently pleased. It had the guts, lots of blood, and a dark humor towards killing people :) The second time I watched the film,I watched it as a filmmaker. I was highly impressed with the guy who made this film. The guy who directed the film (Jon McBride) acted in it, financed it, sang the music for it and edited it. And after all that hard work, he came out with a decent low budget gore flick. Sure the acting was bad, but the kids weren't professional actors and did it for free, so what do you expect? and its not half as bad as other low budget flicks, for example "Blood Lake"

There were many various angle shots that went along very smoothly, which is very uncommon for other low budget indie slasher films. If your into cannibal films and looking for an American style unlike the common Italian ones, check this film out. It does a great job at representing the American side of great cannibal films. I would love to see this film out on dvd, but highly doubt it, since no DonnaMichelle film has ever been made on an official dvd release.
