"Campfire Stories" was pretty lame,in my opinion.the opening sequence,with the so called flaming skull,looked like it was made on the cheap,to be polite.normally,i try to be diplomatic about bad acting in movies,but that would be hard in this case,so i won't say any more about that.aside from that,i didn't find it scary.i guess it's supposed to be something like "Tales From the Crypt" or "Creepshow",but it certainly doesn't measure up to either of those anthology series.i don't know what else to say.i guess i could talk about the lack of suspense,or even tension in the movie.or the fact that is not much gore for you gore hounds.to be fair, i didn't watch the whole thing.i didn't even watch all of the first episode.i fell asleep,but I'm fairly certain the rest of the anthology is no better.most people would likely be bored by this one.my advice is to avoid "Campfire Stories" and look elsewhere to satisfy your entertainment needs.I'll give this movie 3/10,at most.

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.

Do you want to know what the scariest thing about this movie was? The most disturbing repercussion of this film? The sheer terror behind this stupid video is that through a series of mind-numbing events beyond my control, I returned this hunk of crap five days late and was attacked and devoured by a HIDEOUS MONSTER . . . of a late fee.This is second only to the hideous irony of the time I got an $80 late fee billed directly to my credit card after my friend rented Basketball on my account and never returned it. How's THAT for a campfire story--MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!I knew I was in trouble when in the first minute of the movie, a giant, digital skull floating over computer-generated fire appeared and then went on a five minute rant, reminding me why it was supposed to be scary. Shut up, flaming skull!Then two morons almost run down Jamie-Lynn-Siegler-DiScalia-Soprano in the middle of the woods. To make a long story short, the three of them run into Buster Poindexter sitting by a fire. He's apparently some kind of park ranger that looks like a grown-up boy scout who's maybe got a childhood issue or two that he never got over. Buster Poindexter? Get that out of my face!I truly believe that Jamie-Lynn-Siegler-DiScalia-Soprano would've have done more for her career had she done Showgirls 2 instead of this mess. This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life.The tales made no sense at all. The psycho escapes from the hospital, flash-forward twenty years later. Kids torment the creepy janitor. Could this be a red herring, leading us to believe the wrong guy is the escaped lunatic? Of course not. The janitor IS the killer and even the students at the school know it. Phfft.Here is my single biggest problem with this movie; in the final story where the girl returns to her crazy grandmother's house and kills all her friends and the perv deputy, how is it that her friend and the cop are attacked at the same time by the killer, then the girl runs out to them later, but the friend doesn't realize that SHE was the one who attacked her? Are you kidding me? Did they just stop trying?I'm tired. I'm just so tired. I try, I really do, but how long can you fight the flood of horrible movies? It's like trying to stop the tide from coming in. It'll never stop. There will also be B-Horror hacks out there churning out badly written dialogue attached to transparent plots and Jamie-Lynn-Siegler-DiScalia-Sopranos dying to star in them.At least she's hot.

and by ever I mean of the last 10-12 years. this movie makes jack frost look good. Believe the nay sayers. but then, if you actually are browsing these reviews to consider this movie, you probably have some semblance of what makes a good movie.Don't rent it- you will be compelled to demand another free rental in lieu of the time & $$$ you wasted. just don't watch it. ok it says I gotta write more. ON that skull thing at the beginning: I can make better computer animations with MS paint. Go evesdrop on a random neighbor's conversation- it will provide more interesting dialouge than is in this movie.This movie has the fake-est southern accent I have ever had the sheer chalkboard-against-fingernails repulsion to experience. The villians in the 2nd story I could have beat up in my sleep. those 3 were about as evil as marshmellow peeps.
