Toronto85 'Campfire Tales' is an enjoyable horror anthology film which features three pretty good stories. It's wraparound story involves four teenagers driving back home after a concert. They get into a car accident, and are forced to huddle in the woods. A campfire is built and that's when the stories are told. The first is about a newly-wed couple driving to Las Vegas, but decide to take the back roads to get there. Their RV is stalled in the middle of the woods and both are eventually attacked by some creature lurking in the dark. Creepy little tale. The next one is way more realistic, it involves an 11 year old girl who chats online with who she thinks is a girl her age. The person is actually a paedophile, and he stalks her one night when she's home alone. Very well done The final story is a ghost tale involving murder and ends with a twist. Another creepy entry!The wraparound story with the four teens is also well put together and ends on a but of a shocking note. The first time I watched it, I had no clue that would happen. 'Campfire Tales' has an 'Urban Legend' feel to it. All of the stories actually involve well known urban legends, but I can't go further without giving away massive spoilers. The acting was well done from everyone involved, but the goods of this movie are the stories they tell. The first story about the creature in the woods was really scary and you felt for the couple. And that second story with the little girl was very realistic, not to mention there were some tense moments when the guy goes into her house. The third story had an eerie feel to it, but I only wish it was longer. A few question marks left on that one.Overall, I'd recommend 'Campfire Tales' to everyone! It was a creepy little horror anthology film that tells genuinely scary stories. 7/10
atinder This movie also starts in Black and white and also start with The Hook Man yet again! A Young couple who making out in the woods and this time, Girl thinks she see something out side and then she fews time and tell her boyfriends to take her home, He didn't believe her but then he stop at the Diner and then he looks back at the car and he see there was a Hook on the car Door.This story was being told by some teens in a car and the boy who drive- ring the Car and then start messing around by going too fast and then trying to Avoid another Car and end up crashing into the bushes.As they get out of the car they go to this old Church that had been torn down and tell 4 storiesThe first story, is about a married couple in a RV, who end up getting in Stuck in the wood and soon just start to have Sex but soon catch a guy looking at them and that guy warns then about a creatures in the woods.As they go off but then the RV runs out of gas cause there was leak and soon Attack are seen but its very dark that you can't see creatures that well at all, I wish they showed more of creatures.I did not find this story creepy or scary at all, I did like the last scenes was really well doneI give this story 4 out of 10Next Story, is about young Girl, who was on Chat online, not knowing that she was talking to a Psycho, who starts to stalk her, while she is home alone and breaks in to her home.This is one was really good and it some really good creepy moment in this movie, it kind hint of the old slasher movie feel to, very well made.The last 2 minutes of this story was really good and the Psycho looks really scary 8 out of 10I called the next story The Ghost story.A man is riding a motorbike, and then soon stop near to a House, when it's rains and he enter the house, then he falls in love with a girl, soon strange things start happen in the house.He finds out the place is haunted and there another twist in the story! I thought the last story was very boring and very predicable , I thought it was the worst of the a lot.After that story was told, one of teens See Police flashing lights, which lead to a twist in the movie.i Loved that ending cause I didn't see it coming at all.Really good movie7 out of 10
Coventry I expected absolutely nothing from this fairly unknown and low-budgeted 90's horror anthology when they aired it on TV. Let's face it…it looks bad, it sounds bad and it's pretty obvious right away that it hasn't got anything to offer that you haven't seen a thousand times before already. And yet, despite all these negative omens, "Campfire Tales" is a surprisingly effective and competently made movie that I'm sure will satisfy young horror fanatics as well as more experienced genre admirers. The formula is so incredibly simply but it feels refreshing and undoubtedly more efficient than the majority of late 90's horror garbage like, say, "Scream" or "I know what you did last Summer". It's also a lot better than the contemporary movie it resembles, namely "Urban Legends". Like the title implies, "Campfire Tales" features three (four, actually…or maybe five) little stories that we all know already since people have been using them to scare other people since decades. The cool black & white intro revolves on a young couple hanging out on lover's lane while the news bulletin repeatedly warns for an escaped lunatic with a hook for a hand. This story is just a little teaser, but it's atmospheric and it stars the ravishingly beautiful Amy Smart! After this, there's more time and effort put into the so-called wraparound story, as it features four youngsters as they crash their car on their way back from an Iron Maiden concert! Whist waiting for help, they attempt to spook each other out by telling urban legends around the campfire. The first segment is the weakest, but still enjoyable thanks to a fair amount of suspense and good acting. A couple of newlyweds traveling through the States in a motor home have a nightly encounter with monsters. Too bad we never get to know what kind of monsters because the story goes straight for the famous climax. The second segment features an old given, too, but it's shockingly up-to-date! An anonymous pervert stalks a little girl through Internet chat rooms and then goes to her house at night! The title is "People can lick too", so I guess you know already which urban legend this is. The final chapter is arguable the best and really bathes in an uncanny atmosphere. A young man meets the girl of his dreams; only he doesn't realize she's the mute spirit of a girl that got killed centuries ago. The wraparound story keeps an unexpected end-twist in store as well! And a pretty great one, I may add. Certainly worth a look!
