BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

chrismackey1972 I gave this movie 5 stars because I thought it was a fun, entertaining movie. With most of the movies in the horror/slasher genres being almost unwatchable, this was actually a treat. Not once did I feel like turning it off.Eric Roberts is always a fantastic actor, and he did a great job as a washed up director who's trying to make a comeback.Danielle Harris, who's only in the movie for five minutes - at the most - was good in her cameo type role as the sheriff.Nicole Cinaglia is a definite scream queen, and she did a good job on the role of Adrienne.The rest of the cast was good enough for what was required of them. In a movie like this, you have to expect most - if not all - are going to die, so I guess the writers felt there wasn't much point in layering their characters with any real development. Since there was a sizeable amount of people in this, I'm guessing the writers didn't want to waste screen time fleshing out that many characters. It would've been nice had they done it for at least a few though.If you love the slasher genre, I'd advise you to watch this. As I said in my headline, it's not good, but it is fun, and it deserves to be seen. Enjoy! :D

Seb A washed up director, played by washed up actor Eric Roberts, sets up a reality TV show where the contestants get murdered. A familiar and simple plot that's been used many times in the 10 years or so since reality TV was topical. But this movie is so ineptly put together that it makes less sense at it goes on.Eric Roberts may as well have been filmed actually reading from the script since he conveys no emotions whatsoever. The movie does have one intriguing idea regarding the reason the contestants were picked but fails to go anywhere with it making the already threadbare plot even less believable.The contestants are so uninteresting that you can sum them up in their entirely with a three word description. Fake leg guy. Girl in lingerie. That's not a sign of a good movie. I didn't expect much out of this but honestly my low expectations were a long way from met. Well, that's just a viewers opinion read the other reviews to see what the makers thought of their own movie. Turns out they liked it.

acidburn-10 Camp Dread is hell of a ride for a movie, we get a washed up director Julian Barrett who made a killing with the Summer Camp movies from the 80's, but success didn't last and he wound up broke, but now he's decided to bring back his classic slasher movies in a form of a reality TV show set at a real summer camp and even roping in his former stars as councillors and take in a group of troubled teens to participate in what supposed to be a fake murder mystery movie set and the chance for one of them to win a million dollars , but things take a turn for the worse when a masked killer does actually start picking the contestants one by one for real.Well this is definitely a interesting concept for a movie and it does work for the most part, the setting at the real summer camp was a stroke of genius, as it is a beautiful scenery and the reality show setting is really fun and interesting and bringing in Eric Roberts as the twisted director was a treat as well as Felissa Rose of Sleepaway Camp fame and Danielle Harris of Halloween fame which was a great nod to the fun times. The movie itself is fairly straight forward and once we are introduced to the contestants things do pick up at a fairly even pace and the deaths aren't overly gory but are fun and nearly all of them meets a sticky end. The group of fodder we get are a dull nice guy, slutty girl, lesbian, shy loner, unhinged alpha male, disabled black guy, weird black girl and masturbator, all which makes a plea for survival but unfortunately none of them do come above they're stereotypes, and some are offed too quickly too either simply care or know anything about them, but that is the case in most of these movies. The deaths are fairly fun and quite inventive in this movie we get arrows through the throat, a guy beaten death with his own fake leg, cleaning products forced down a throat, barbed wire round the neck, but the best one is the sling shot head death which was highly fun and original. And plus the twists which you will not see coming, like I thought that this movie was going one way, but then took a total U-Turn in the other direction and simply left me gob smacked.The cast Eric Roberts was absolutely brilliant as the director, he chewed the scenery wonderfully as one of the only layered cast in the movie. Felissa Rose was also another great addition to this movie, she really hooks you in to the surroundings and Danielle Harris whose always a pleasure to watch but nothing more than a glorified cameo in this unfortunately. Nicole Cinaglia as the shy loner gave a decent performance throughout especially towards the end and her story really makes you feel for her, Joe Raffa does well as the unhinged camper Novak he really made the viewer hate his character with some serious problems.All in all Camp Dread is a good fun throwback to the good old days, it's not perfect just enjoy it for what it is.

justinandemily10 This movie will have you second guessing who's who as far as the killer of this movie.Several young adults are brought to a camp competing against one another for a grand prize as part of a new reality show rather than facing jail or rehab. The twist, the camp is part of a classic 80's horror trilogy "Summer Camp" (like we don't know it's a spoof of Sleepaway Camp")and that there is suppose to be a "killer" that takes you "out". The problem, people are going missing for real and the bodies are about to pop out.Overall, it's your typical suspense thriller/horror film trying to get back to the roots of the hayday horror films of the 80's. However, the plot twist as to the killer's identity and motive will greatly surprise and shock you. Nothing is as it seems in this film and you will be trying to figure it out to the very last minute.
