Campfire Stories

Summary: A fairly good movie...*possible spoilers*
Review: Although this movie's very, very low-budget and it shows, it was none the less an enjoyable movie. Still, the intro with the talking skull was long and boring so I just skipped that part. While the stories do seem a little forced, they're still worth watching, most notably the third story concerning a teenage girl supposedly being stalked. Let me tell ya, that story was the best of the three because it presented more than one person as a suspect and leaves off with a really bizarre suprise. The first story, about an escaped mental patient turned school janitor was mildly entertaining, but the second story, about a gang of yocals who kill an indian borders on the weak-side. The ending, with Jamie Lynn Sigler's chjaracter running out of the club and stopping a van of fresh victims, before giving a wicked grin and her eyes turning red is pretty cool. Even though this is no Urban Legends, I like the way some urban legends make their way into the stories. The cast does a fair job of what you'd expect from a low budget feature. The disc's presentation's pretty good, but in the scene where the gang are taking hits off the indian's bong, there appears to be some possible damage (there's a scratchy noise when the leader takes a hit and when the fat guy's talking to him, both the audio and visual skips). The DVD comes with a trailer, which is pretty good. Over all, this is a pretty cool movie, but remeber: low budget = low expectations.

Summary: Well, it had some hot chicks and a talking skull.
Review: Hmmm, what to say. First, there's this skull that talks for like fifteen minutes. The movie starts out with these two dorks with a flat tire, and this chick in a skirt flags them on the side of a dirt road. After a little bantering, the chick leads the dorks into the woods to a campfire where that Buster Poindexter guy is sitting. I'm not sure what circumstances there are in which Buster Poindexter could be seen as frightening, but, none the less, he tells everybody to sit down and listen to three poorly-shot, badly written, disjointed tales of horror:

The first story is about a pack of high school football creeps trying to bully the janitor---who just happens to be an escaped mental patient. I think my little sister could take any of these football players in a fight---one at a time or simultaneously. It's really easy to hate and ridicule them. They chase the janitor into the woods, he ends of stalking and killing all but one of them, then the last one, the ring leader, gets pinned down to a chair and ostensibly butchered. This is the kind of crap that wouldn't even make the cut for an episode of Tales From The Darkside.

The second story is the worst, involving three lowlife creeps that like to hang around and roll the old folks. They set their sights on an old Indian, follow him to his place out in the woods. Then they kill him, steal his magic weed and begin smoking it. They have really lame Ronny James Dio type hallucinations, and then, they begin turning old, realizing that the magic weed sucked their life force and put it into the Indian. Blah blah blah. I know it's that literary device where, in the interest of justice, God assumes the form of a greater evil to consume the lesser one. It's cool when it's done correctly, but in this case it was just kind of flaccid.

The last story was really no better than the other two, but it had two fine chicks, a blonde and a brunette, trying to play some kind of high school "get even" prank on their sissy mary boyfriends. It's cool because the chicks get into these leather skirts, but the whole thing really goes nowhere, as the brunette's ghost grandmother starts a miniature killing spree. Mainly just watch this one for the chicks---try to tune everything else out.

Anyway, at the end of the stories, the two dorks and the chick from the beginning get a tow truck, and idiotically enough they find this bar out in the middle of rustic nowhere where's there's some kind of half-baked Misfits cover band on stage. And then you find out they were all in cahoots together, Buster Poindexter, the janitor, the Indian with the evil weed, and the brunette in the leather skirt. Oh boyohboy. I don't know, just watch this if you're bored and in the mood for a bad movie, but don't expect alot. It's not like we're talking Pieces or Burial Ground "The Nights of Terror".

Summary: A Fun, Scary Little Thriller!
Review: I just watched the DVD of "Campfire Stories" featuring babe-o-licious Jamie Lynn Sigler of HBO's "Sopranos". This movie rocks! It's like a "Tales of the Darkside" for the 00's. And David Johannsen is creepy too! This is a fun popcorn movie, something to enjoy with a date or with friends. Watch out for the creepy climactic ending!

Review: me and my friend went to the video store today to rent a horor movie, and found campfire stories. we have been through all the halloweens, freddy's, leprachauns, and children of the corn. im not sure what appeal campfire stories had, but we rented it. we watched it and the camera angles were terrible. seemed like an extremley low budget film. its starts when two guys are driving out to a camp to meet friends(i guess...) and they meet a girl whos car supposedly broke down in town. the girl tells them that she saw campers in the forest so they all go in search of the fire only to find a creepy park ranger who begins to tell them camp stories. there are three stories all around 15 minutes long. although production was terrible, and the author left many un answered questions, the end was a great way to wrap it all up. overall id haveto give this movie a 5 out of 10(10 being the best)

Summary: Creepy bunch of stories!
Review: Ok... so if you want the "plot" of this movie read some of the other reviews.

If you want to know how much it sucked then read this one. I think all the other reviewers were really too generous in their praise for this film. One of the reviews says watch this movie if you are bored. DONT it will increase your boredom. The stories are rediculous and badly acted [not in that great b-horror shlock kind of way either...if you want that then get killer Klowns from outerspace].

I'm not a buff by any means, but I do love horror, all kinds of horror, good bad, great, gory... you name it. But this movie is none of that...it's just boring and disapointing.

Don't buy this movie. Please. If you must then rent it.. then write a review like mine and tell everyone how bad it was.

Summary: pretty good for a few good stories
Review: others here have told of bad acting, i didnt find it all that terrible, i've certainly seen much worse
i thought there are many parts that are lame, but i dont think the film set out to be the most terrifying thing either, so given that, it does pretty well
like many other movies like this, it has about 4 different short stories that are strung together through the the storytelling of a park ranger
i found each of the stories a little bit too simple and easy to give them much credit in originality, but they at least held my intrest long enough, all in all i'd say worth watching and worth renting if you are looking to watch some campy scary stories, especially if there are youngsters with you, as the stories are not too scary

Review: The movie starts out with two dudes trying to goto a backwoods party they soon come across a young woman having car trouble.She leads them into a forest where they find a Forest Ranger he tells them to sit down and listen to three stories.The first one is about these football boys bullying a mentally handicapped janitor he steals the ring leaders bag and they find themselves chasing him into a forest hoping on bullying him some more one by one he kills all of them except the ring leader then eventually the janitor butchers him up.The second story is about these three people who bully this follow this Native American into his place and then kill him and take his magical weed and go into his trailer and smoke the weed once they do that they find out that the weed they smoked was sucking the soul out of them soon they all turn old the end.The last story i just watched it for the fine looking girl other than that the last sucked as much as the second.Then the two dudes and the young woman find a towtruck and go into a bar where they see a fake kiss looking type group soon they ask the bartender and he turns around to find out he is the forest ranger.They see that the janitor,the native american,and the chick on the third one, are all there laughing soon they attack the two dudes and the young woman runs out of the bar and ask another group of strangers if she can have a ride and then her eyes glow.The ending was poor it looks like it was all in one shot.There are no extras or deleted scenes on the dvd.Watch this movie for a good laugh.

Summary: trash
Review: this movie is not even worth renting, trust me. the entire crew of this movie put so little effort into all aspects of production that it is completly unwatchable. The plots are simple and childish(essentialy poorly acted and directed "Are you afraid of the dark?" sequences.

Review: This movie was not that bad. The first time I watched it, I was like what the heck??? I looked at it a second time, and I really like it. I won't write another movie description because other people have done so already.
Check the movie out for yourself, and maybe you'll like it, too.

Summary: stupid
Review: yes it is low budget. so what! that doesn't change the fact that it was a piece of junk. i bought it in a five dollar bin and only watched it once. i gave it away and the person i gave it to ended up giving it away. he couldn't even watch the whole thing. if i was an actor in this movie i don't know if i would go around telling anyone i was involved in the film. i wish i never even heard of the film. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! IT'S STUPID BEYOND BELIEF AND YOU'LL HAVE WASTED A FEW HOURS OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE BACK!
