First off let me just say that this was the worst film i have ever seen in my life. It was purely an amateur film. Most of the actors are just awful stereotypes of stupid teens. I have never seen such terrible acting in my days. What is up with all of the nude scenes? I see this movie as light pornography. I have enjoyed all of the Lions gate films I have seen in the past, but the thought that Lions Gate could have produced a piece of garbage like this is just insane. I would like to know why the cover shows a man holding a chainsaw? There isn't a single chainsaw in the entire movie. Every video, every disk, EVERYTHING that has anything to do with this movie should be buried and forgotten. Don't even waste your time on this film.
The plot of "Motor Home Massacre" is pretty simple:a group of seven young friends climb aboard a vintage RV headed for a fun-filled weekend in the woods called Black Creek Park until they encounter a night-vision goggled,machete-wielding psychopath.I must admit that I did laugh few times during the film.However the acting is horrid,the story itself is silly and routine and the gore effects are extremely weak.The characters are some of the dumbest in the horror genre history.Thankfully the last twenty minutes are a constant flood of plot twists and laughs.Unfortunately there are far too many scenes of the characters just sitting around and endlessly delivering stupid one-liners,so there's absolutely no suspense conjured up and sustained.The murder sequences are ineptly handled and there's not a single valid scare to be found anywhere.4 out of 10.
This film could have been a return to form for the slasher genre. With a plot similar to so many of the 80's slasher gems, I had at least some hope for this film when I popped it into my DVD player. Sadly, those hopes quickly vanished as I began to watch amateur,sloppy film-making at it's worst. And that is really too bad, because with a better director and production team, and certainly better actors, this film could have been decent. Hell, I could have made this a better film with everything I noticed that was wrong.
The plot is simple slasher cliché: a group of friends take a motorhome trip for the weekend, only to come upon a campsite, where the night before a couple was brutally butchered. They are told since they *may* be suspects, that they need to stay put. It isn't long before they begin getting picked off one by one by a ridiculous looking masked killer. The filmmakers seem confused about what kind of film they really want to be making: a comedy? a slasher film? a drama? This leads to many scenes that could have and should have been suspenseful becoming a laughable mess. Suspense is lacking throughout the entire film, particularly in key scenes when suspense should have been crucial. The setting of the film is actually pretty creepy, and a better director would have capitalized on that. Instead, most of the film's action takes place in well-lit areas that seem to be right off the side of the road. There are virtually NO stalk sequences, which should be a staple to any good slasher flick. There are also some pretty large plot holes and goofs...the most obvious being the disappearing and reappearing vest and tie combo of the main male lead. From reading other reviews here, I am glad to know I am not the only one that noticed that. Which leads me to wonder if the director and editor even watched the film after they shot it. After all, if I and others could spot this on our first viewing, it should have been painfully obvious to the crew. And the scene at the end where this same male lead gets attacked and hacked on the chest and arms about 2 dozen times with a large machete, only to appear with just a few spots of blood on his arms is just TOO ridiculous to ignore.
The acting is pretty bad, from every one involved. Laughably bad, at some points.
It's really sad that this film COULD have been a lot better. With a name like "Motor Home Massacre," slasher fans should at least expect to see a decent movie. And what takes place in this film is hardly a massacre.........Please don't waste time or money on this unless you want to witness how NOT to make a slasher film. A huge disappointment. 2 out of 10

This movie is not worth anyones time. I do not know how Lions Gate produced it and lived. Please ban this from the shelves. If you like this movie then you like it for a laugh. After laughing so long at mistakes then it just sucks. Please do not waste your money. I would not even give this film a 1 .. It is the worst film I have ever seen. Lions Gate produces great films but everyone makes mistakes and this is one of them. This movie has many errors that the director and editor should explain what they were thinking about when they did it. The acting is also completely horrible. Benji and Sabrina are the only plausible actors. Also, what is with the white gangster going smart?
contrary to previous comments left about this movie by the very well "informed" movie goer lions gate did not produce the film and in truth had nothing to do with the movie until after the movie was filmed produced and released; however i can agree the film was very awful. Given the circumstanced of the film that it was filmed with all amateur actors that were all from the Atlanta area i thought it was decent in that respect. Also in the casting of Lincoln was a brilliant move on the directors part for Todd Herring. He brought an aura to the character and given his extremely white background he played the part of the wigger rather well. But i do not recommend the movie to anyone
