Holly shit I never in my life thought that I’d enjoy a piece of shit film like this so much in my life. (Note to all you B-movies directors who want to send me your screeners for review, you want a good review, send me a twelve pack of Sam Adams along with your screener.) Now with that said; let me tell ya. I had a hell of time watching this flick.
First off, with a film like this you have to have a frame of mind in which you need to be in one of the best (Drunk) moods ever. A film like this is so campy and shot so out of sequence, that anyone who’s not in the best moods would have no desire to watch such a film. Let me explain it to you this way; read below.
The film is about a bunch of College age kids, whom go on a camping trip in the woods somewhere. Little do they know that a group or orphans are living within the woods, and before their mothers untimely death they promised her they would never eat junk food again. Instead they would eat any unsuspecting camper that came their way. Especially some hot eighties looking young babes with fluffy hair dos. Anyway this chick named Amy and her friends end up in these back woods somewhere with these crazy orphans, (One of which is dressed like a fighter pilot.) whom want to rape, kill and BBQ them.
Cannibal Campout is a film that has the same soundtrack throughout the whole entire film. And it’s pretty much a rip-off of the first few cords of a Led Zeppelin song. But besides that we do get an awesome ho down in the beginning of the film while our cast of actors is driving to the camp grounds. After watching the bar scene in Future Kill I kind of became a fan of scenes involving bad dancing and a really bad song. So the soundtrack to this was hit with me. Nothing like a good shitty soundtrack to put a smile on your face and make you dance like a monkey with a banana up it’s ass.
Ok, on a serious note; The acting is bad, the editing is bad, the photography is bad. Hell the whole production is like a bad home movie. In fact this film I’m almost sure was shot on Super VHS. The fact of the matter is, this is what 80’s B-movies were all about. And oh, did I mention that this film has some of the most memorable lines I’ve ever heard in my life. There are so many lines in the script that are so fucking out of this world, you can’t help but laugh. There so much cheese in this film that I swear it was shot in Wisconsin, I mean this film is one of the best cheesy B-movies I’ve ever seen.
Overall, I had a blast watching this flick. It’s probably one of the best B-movies I’ve ever seen. Honestly it’s a rip. You can’t take a film like this too seriously. But if your a hardcore horror fan, who needs a good laugh. This is one of those rare B-Horror flicks that will keep your eyes glued to your tube. It’s a hell of a good time. Probably even better if your drunk. “Dude, that’s not blood it’s berry juice.” “Oh yeah, your right”
