trashgang When two guys are driving in, yes you guessed it, the woods they have to hit the breaks, a girl appear saying her car's broken down. But by hitting the breaks they have a flat tire so a ranger takes care of them telling campfire stories. The existing of campfire stories is to frighten people, well here they never do. Only the last story is the best. The second one is so stupid and never frightening and even doesn't contain blood. The acting is okay, especially the ranger knowing that he is the lead singer of The New York Dolls. The only positive thing is the appearance of The Misfits, but i noticed that they mostly do a performance in bad movies. Couldn't say it better.

Tommy Nelson I have no idea why people think they can make a good anthology film on a 10 dollar budget. This was awful. It had three stories. The first was perhaps the most pointless and is about a man escaping from the insane asylum. Later he works as a janitor at a school, kids make fun of him so he kills them. The second story is about some mean teens killing an Indian for no reason at all and stealing his peace pipe and getting high off of it. They have hallucinations, one of which is a REEEAALLLYY poorly computer animated snake. The third is just about some girls messing with these guys trying to scare them. It's all surrounded by this random guy named Rick, played by "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie's" James Remar. The opening to the film is a poorly animated skull that looks pathetic. The end is absolutely ridiculous.My rating: 1/2 out of ****. 92 mins. Rated R for sex and violence and language

John Sharling (lowdowndeeper) I should have known better. But I rented this and soon found myself watching. Everything is utterly wrong in this film - the dialouge, the cast (especially David Johansen) and plots of these little, insignificant stories. Getting back to David Johansen. Why him and why The (new) Misfits? Is this film an ode to long gone punk rock stars? Well, I can tolerate that but I thought this was a little like Creep Show. But it's even more stupid than that. The first two stories are told clumsily and hurried so we can all sit back and watch the final story which takes up far, far too much of the total playing time of an hour and a half. Everything about this is horrible and I didn't even have a laugh like I usually do when a watch things like these. 2 out of 10. And that's only because the cgi effects are so corny that they made me smile for a second or two.

Matt_Layden Not as bad as "Carnivore", this low budget film is still sh*t, but I have more respect for it then I have for "The Worst Movie Ever, Carnivore". Anyways...Two teens on their way to a backwoods party come across a beautiful young woman (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) having car trouble, so they go into the woods to find campers she said she saw, they run into Ranger Bill, and he starts telling them these campfire stories. There are 3 stories, one involves a lunatic killer, the other a haunted Indian/weed pipe and the last one is yet another killer story. Personally I liked the last story the best, but that is not saying much. I mistakenly bought Carnivore in a 5 dollar bin at Wal mart, I got this at Christmas. There was a deal if you buy one movie, you get another one, my mom picked it while she was getting the "Awesome" Dog Soldiers.The acting is mostly high school level and the music is really lame. The worst performance is "Ranger Bill" played by David Johansen, he really sinks this movie. I will admit, at the beginning I had hopes for it, it was going alright, then they meet up with Bill and it goes downhill from there. Now the acting is as bad as Carnivore (I'll be making lots of references to it) but it is worse than Evil Dead. So you get the idea, the best performance is from a guy who has 2 lines it, the escaped lunatic mental killer in the first story. The first story, about a group of jocks picking on a school handyman, doesn't fair much better in it's acting or production values. Once it gets going there is a level of creepiness to it but the whole set up before the climax is so poorly done that you find yourself caring very little about what happens.Aside from some poor special effects (well good in a high school class project sort of way) the second story involving three troublemakers looking to profit from the murder of a native man, fails to really grab the viewer. There isn't much wrong with the story it just doesn't do much until the twist ending. At that point everything registers and the story makes sense, unfortunately it's not much fun getting to that point.The final, and best, story is a nice little "who-done-it". While the story, of four friends getting together for a night of "passion" which ends in murder, doesn't really set itself up as well as it could, it does contain the most suspense of the 4 stories. This entry contains the best of everything in the movie, best story, acting and suspense. The topper is that is also contains the best ending as you continue to guess who the culprit is.If you are the kind of fan who likes low budget campy kind of stuff, then be my guest. If you thought carnivore was at the very least okay, then give this one a try, it has a lot of of screen gore, like chainsaw scene in Scarface. For instance, the lead jock's neck and a saw come to meet, but all you see is the blood drip onto his chest. There's no nudity, hardly any language this movie doesn't feel like a real horror movie to me, just some kind of thriller, with one or two horror elements thrown in.
