Bloody Bloody Bible Camp

Bloody Bloody Bible Camp (2012) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a group of campers who head out to a Bible camp by a lake where a mass murder happened 30 years ago. Could the original killer make a reappearance?

This movie is directed by Vito Trabucco (Henchman: The Al Leong Story) and stars Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Tim Sullivan (Detroit Rock City), Ron Jeremy (54), Ivet Corvea (Run! Bitch! Run!) and Gigi Bannister (Bubba Ho-Tep).

This movie is a little like Hatchet where it doesn't take itself too seriously. The script and dialogue in this is fun and there's a trivia scene that's hilarious. The kill scenes start slow but get better the last 45-60 minutes. Theres plenty of blood splatter and a few scenes with some worthwhile gore. Oh, and this movie gets .5 points for who they cast as Jesus.

Overall this is a very average addition to the horror genre with a few worthwhile lines and scenes. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Fine comic sex and gore during the titles. Dull silliness for most of the rest. FINALLY picks up at the end with a surprise appearance that saves the campiness of the camp's events and conspicuously atrocious acting.

A relatively throwback homage to those horror slasher films of the 1980's, this film seems to bring several common elements and tropes seen in many of those films into this. It is relatively lower budget but that is not too much of an issue. It can work depending on how to entertain the audience. The creators of this movie don't seem to know how to do that. Their effort is neither funny nor scary, full of random jokes which are almost always out of place, unoriginal or far too forced which comes across as desperate and cringey. There are several solid scenes of kills showing blood splatter, more so in the end. But it's very much so things we've seen before. The twist type ending is decent enough but doesn't exactly add much.

I don't mind watching trashy parody movies that have no specific plot or point as long as they are funny and entertaining. This one has none of the aforementioned.

The idea itself is, of course, cliché, but surely something could have been done in this movie to justify its given genre. Unfortunately, the realization has failed on so many levels that I've lost the interest after circa 10 minutes of lame mischief.

Low-budget is not a problem if you know how to entertain the audience. The creators of this movie obviously don't know how to do that. Their piece of work is neither funny nor scary, full of random "jokes" which are almost always out of place, and I got the impression that none of the people who participated in filming this failure actually wanted to make this movie.

So, save your time and skip this absurdity.

This might be too goofy to get a higher rating, but it does a damned fine job of what it aims at.

The people behind it must have watched every slasher film between 1974-1989. They knew all the camera angles, they knew the soft targets to make fun of. Including having the soundtrack be out of sync for the 1978 scenes.

The humor is juvenile, but it is funny.

A parody that will make the humorless complain about it being cheesy because they won't get it. But if you also watched a lot of slasher films...... This is how you make a dumb film intelligently.
