This film is really bonkers, bit in a good way. It's like a modern day MEATBALLS of Abbott & Costello were in it. I have to admit that Caesar & Otto are an acquired taste, but once you spend too much time watching them, you will become a fan, like me. They grow on you like mold on cheese. These guys are fantastic. They are like the Laurel & Hardy of this century. When I first seen them in their first film, I thought they were straight up super stupid, but for some reason I continued watching the film, and they grew on me. I am now a big fan of theirs and can't wait till get them in my next film KRAZY KLOWNY.
Pretty decent movie, some funny moments worth a watch. Good job by all involved.
Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre (2009)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Caesar (Dave Campfield) and Otto (Paul Chomicki) are brothers who find themselves on the run from the law. They end up getting jobs as summer camp councilors but before long the group are being brutally murdered one by one.
CAESAR AND OTTO'S SUMMER CAMP MASSACRE isn't a very good movie but it's at least mildly entertaining if you're into these types of low-budget horror movies. In reality, the main reason people are going to be checking this out is that it does feature some famous faces in supporting roles. This includes Brinke Stevens and Joe Estevez who appear in a couple scenes each. The other big draw to the movie is Felissa Rose who of course played Angela in the original SLEEPAWAY CAMP.
There are a lot of nods or jokes aimed at Rose and SLEEPAWAY CAMP and there's no question that she's the main draw to the picture. If you're a fan of that movie then you'll enjoy seeing what Rose has to offer here. As far as the rest of the film goes, well, it's really not totally awful but there's no question that it runs out of gas around the forty-minute mark. This thing clocks in at just 74-minutes and that drags so badly. I mean, I really can't recall too many movies with such a short running time that felt so long! The humor in the film is rather obnoxious and it's certainly hit and miss. I'm not going to lie, I laughed at some of it and I enjoyed seeing the famous faces but there's not much else here. The horror elements are all on target but a little bit more blood or sleaze would have helped keep the film moving.

Taxi driver and bit actor, Caesar lives with his brother Otto. After a road rage incident at work involving the local police chiefs mentally handicapped brother Caesar gets fired and decides to skip town before the police chief gets a hold of him. He and his brother Otto hit the road and decide to stop once they can find jobs. They are able to find jobs as counselors at a summer camp. All of the counselors seem to be pretty odd. Summer Camp Massacre features horror icons Brinke Stevens and Felissa Rose. There are multiple inside jokes that pay tribute to "Sleepaway Camp", one of Felissa Rose's most popular films. Summer Camp Massacre is a mix of horror and humor.
HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME, (4) !!! And today we review .... a movie im not actually going to make fun of because its good .... "Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre" from 2009 ... i own their christmas movie and when i first got it i thought " oh no here we go another cheap garbage film made by some nobodies" but wow was i never more glad to be wrong ...and even MORE glad to find out that these two had a franchise of films ..... sadly they have NOT gotten the recognition they seriously deserve for it ......
as per usual these 2 find themselves in the middle of zany adventure while trying to survive yet another day in the life of caesar and otto .... and of course ...doom and death follows them .... and as per usual their classic horror cast from the past is included ......this time at summer camp lol..... and it has of course references to sleepaway camp as would be expected .... the acting here is campy (no pun intended) and cheesy BUT its supposed to be , these films are meant to be comedy horror .... not something to be taken seriously .... the camera work is pretty solid the sound is good ... over all the film work is on par or better than most would expect .... the surprising thing about these films has been the better than you would expect over all look of the film ... alot of low budget or indie films tend to fail in sound or lighting or whatever BUT these guys REALLY keep it together throughout and i appreciate and respect that ....
the caesar / otto characters are fantastic and together light up the screen as half brothers always dealing with supernatural situations
the horror comedy genre has the more known figure heads sure like "ash" but these films are tragically underrated and NEED to be seen by the masses more .... i honestly believe that people are missing out here .. and thats coming from a guy who owns literally every horror film made from around the world ....no ...im not kidding ......yes i do need a life .... but like tucker and dale needed a sequel .... these guys HAVE the films to back it up .... and i hope they get the credit they rightfully deserve ..... on a massive MASSIVE scale .......
based off my scale for indie films this gets an easy 9/10 ,
its fun, funny and knows what it is and supposed to be .... so its a solid film ..haters can hate but you obviously dont know whats its like to make a film , write, direct or probably even care about passion of the art at all .... so ... keep hating , at least these guys will be remembered for something ......
