The Swedish horror film "Camp Slaughter" from 2004 is one of few Europeen amateur horror films I have seen. The idea of the filmmakers was to make a tribute to 70s and 80s horror flicks like Friday the 13th. With a mixture of splatter, typical horror and somewhat failed humour it is obvious that the film is a amateur production, and of course the actors are not very good either. If you are fond of the German amateur splatter "Barricad (-Welcome to hell)" you will definitely like this one. Although I myself do not like splatter amateur films (Due to special effects, actors etc.) I do appreciate amateur tributes. Unfortunately, because of the use of humour in this movie, the watcher might get the feeling of a parody rather than a tribute This is definitely worth a view if you like 80s horror flicks, and especially if you do not mind a little bit bad acting.

The movie looks like its been taped by some local kids doing a homework for their drama lessons, but even if so.. it would still get F minus as a grade. As the title tells its about some teenage people getting slaughtered. So after watching 1 hour of the movie I found out that it would be more fun to eat my own "***".. at least I wouldn't have such an awful aftertaste in my mouth as I had when watching this movie. The people in this movie would never even get a role in a commercial for toilet paper. Don't watch this movie, eat your own ... instead.. I recommend you watch the "Jason movies instead". Or why not Freddy vs Jason, Scream.

This movie ranks in the worst of the worst. While the fun in slasher films often lies in their inherent stupidity, Camp Slaughter takes it to an entirely new level.The actors must not have shown up for the filming of this movie, and been replaced by extras who had never acted before. They make Junior High drama class drop outs look like Oscar winners.Speaking of Junior High, the script reads like a pre-adolescent's English homework after seeing the major slasher movies. Its a patchwork of movies, borrowing entire scenes and themes, with no regard to their contexts or relevance. Bad dialogue, overblown and unrealistic uses of vice (drugs, sex, alcohol, etc.), no suspense build-up, and an anti-climactic ending. I wouldn't give this script a passing grade at any level.In the end, when it comes to slasher flicks, while Scream proved imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Camp Slaughter shows that imitation isn't far from ridicule, and this movie can only be summed up with that one word: ridiculous.

I've never seen anything like this in a swedish cinema. But I can know guess how it was during the sixties- and seventies!I'm not sure how to describe this one, but it's a morbid black comedy/horror (or at least trying to)/slasher/trash/exploitation...something!Not everybody's cup of tea, but I liked in some kinda weird way!
