Rating: Summary: Ed Wood would be proud!! Review: A bloody, gory, and very goofy entertaining B-Movie that has some pretty hot chicks in bikinis running around and being attacked by zombies!! It's great!! Of course I've seen Plan Nine from Outer Space and Bride of the Monster at least a dozen times... But this is WAY BETTER!!First of all, if you're looking for acadamy quality, stay away!! You've been warned... But if you want goofy, silly, bold and bloody entertainment, that's really quite stupid, Zombie Campout is a funny movie. The acting is okay, the effects aren't half bad, (I love the arm ripping off scene!)the story works, and the plot is typical of a zombie genre movie. Here's the deal, get a bunch of your buddies together, get a couple cases of really cheap beer, don't tell 'em too much about the film, (maybe show them the DVD case,) slowly get wasted!! Add in the movie, equals GOOD TIMES!! Lots of Friends + Cheap Beer + Zombie Campout + More Cheap Beer = Great Times!!

Rating: Summary: An embarassment!! Review: Amazon should be embarassed for offering this crap to innocent members of the public. This isn't even bad good, it's bad atrocious. Everyone involved with this movie should go find a rock and crawl under it. Hang your head in shame Amazon.com!!
Rating: Summary: " People have been dying for these! " Review: I almost worked on this movie..., really. But you're not her to listen to my lame story, you're here to find out about the lame story of ZOMBIE CAMPOUT. The plot is simple and that's the point apperently. Four kids travel out to a campground conviently located next to a cemetary. Soon thereafter, a shower of radioactive meteorites crashes into the cemetary, causing the dead to rise from their graves. Deep, huh? Actually, the recipe for this movie is an admirable one... take a familar plot, not too complicated, add in cute girls in bikinis, mix in a pinch of zombies and garnish with innocent humor filled with in-jokes. The final product, however, doesn't quite live up to it's ambitions. Many scenes go on for too long thanks to some bad editing. The acting, especially from the men, is too wooden, many of the jokes fall flat and, sorry ladies, but this is a b-horror movie, when the girls take off their clothes, you don't frame it so high that we can't see the good stuff, i mean, come on! All that being said, this is an ernest attempt at shot on video horror/comedy. Did I forget to mention that all the actors are from, and the movie was shot around Dallas, TX. ? Did I also forget to mention that if your not from around Dallas, TX. , you wouldn't care about that anyway? Special features on the dvd include set photos, cast bios, audition scenes and trailers for other flicks. And despite the box, I do not consider menus and scene selections to be special features. If you want a great zombie movie, go buy some romero or the japanese treats JUNK and BIO-ZOMBIE, but if you want to see some cheese made in your back yard( mine, actually ), check this movie out!

Rating: Summary: This movie is not a cult classic.... Review: I don't know why people think this movie is even worth wasting your time on. I thought that surely all these people who have seen it and gave it good reviews couldn't be wrong. But this doesn't fall into the "so-bad-it's-good" category, it's in the "so-bad-it's-a-painful-experience" category. Bad acting, bad film quality, lack of plot, and sad excuses for special effects are all fine and acceptable - when the movie is still good because of it. If you like zombie movies, then don't watch this. This isn't a zombie movie. It's a couple of idiots who got a video camera and found some air-head girls to frolic about in tight T-shirts. These things do not make a good horror film. Watch it if you like, but I will never expose myself to this pitiful excuse for a "cult classic" again.
Rating: Summary: I like it. Review: I had the pleasure of meeting Misty Orman and director of Zombie Campout at a Fangoria convention and thought their movie looked like it would be worth purchasing. I brought it home and threw it on and loved every minute. The script is corny, the acting is less than average, and the effects are actually quite impressive. But the thing was, it worked. I loved every minute because I'm a fan of the b-movie, and if you're into academy award winning films, stear clear. This ones for the genre fans, so keep up the good work guys.
Rating: Summary: The stuff Cult Classics are made off Review: I hate to admit it, but sadly, I've seen this movie one to many times. I can't help it, it cracks me up every time I see it. By no means is it the best film ever made, in fact it's far from it. Cheesy acting, oddball story line, and very campy humor, yet it's a GREAT B-Movie. It doesn't have any "moral" or lesson to be learned, there's no deep back story, it's simply an entertaining comedy that does exactly what it was made to do, it makes you laugh, and some times, it makes you laugh really hard. It starts off with a pretty decent pace. At times it slows down a bit and there are even moments when it seems nearly out of place. Though at times the pacing is a little slower than one would expect an action packed comedy/horror, it clearly makes up for it in the satirical comedy and in your face humor though out. The first "effect," when zombies attack in the opening scene, doesn't really seem all that convincing. But by no means does it set the precedence for the film. Overall the effects are very impressive and at times surprisingly realistic. Clearly a very low budget project, the acting is a little off, but this reviewer feels it really adds to the whole "B-Movie" experience. All in all, though the opening "effect" isn't exactly convincing the majority of them seem to go off with out a hitch and really make one glance away form the screen in disgust, only to look back and see something horrifically funny. Though it's a hilarious campy B-Style Movie, Zombie Campout is not for everyone. Those who cannot appreciate the in your face style humor, those who faint at the site of blood, or folks who just don't know how to laugh, need to avoid this film. But I would highly recommend it to those who enjoy satirical humor as well as horror fans alike. Zombie Campout, funny, somewhat stupid at times, and entertaining on a completely different level; it has all the makings of a cult classic and a little bit more.
Rating: Summary: Zombie Heaven! Review: I was hesitant at first when I ordered Zombie Campout, but being a fan of zombie cinema, I couldn't resist. When looking back with nostalgia to the era of when cheesy monster movies dominated mainstream cinema, one cannot help but think of poor special effects, terrible acting, and an overall poor quality of film in general - which makes them so great. Zombie Campout pays homage to this bygone time with a monster movie as entertaining today as it would have been 30 years ago. When four teenagers decide to go camping for a week of fun and relaxation, a freak meteor shower awakens the living dead from their supposedly eternal slumber, and they wreak havoc on the campsite. With amusing irreverence, the film jumps from one zombie feast to another while our heroes attempt to escape the peril that lies before them. Seemingly shockingly horrific in some scenes, Zombie Campout has its tounge planted firmly in cheek throughout the adventure and is well worth your time if you look back longingly at the days when zombie films were considered top-notch entertainment.
Rating: Summary: Zombie Campout Review Review: Just like all the rest, I was hesitant at first. If history has taught me anything, it's not to watch zombie movies anymore. However, when I was told about this movie, the curiosity got the better of me, and I watched it. I was glad I did. It was your typical zombie movie, with strange effects and humor. Fun movie to watch at a sleepover.
