slayrrr666 "Camp Blood 2" is a decent slasher, but it's far better than the first one.**SPOILERS**One year after the massacre at Camp Blood, Director Worth Milligan, (Garrett Clancy) wants to make a movie what happened, and manages to get original survivor Tricia Young, (Jennifer Ritchkoff) on board. With the cast, Adrienne Palmer, (Missy Rae Hansen) Vanessa, (Sonya Joy Sims) Lance, (Mark Overholt) and Todd, (Timothy Patrick) together, they head into the same woods as before, and Tricia constantly fears that the killer is still out there. As the cast and crew start disappearing, she claims the killer clown has returned, and when she's proved true, the rest of the film-makers have to fight off the killer.The Good News: This wasn't terrible, and it did have a few good things going for it. The first is a huge improvement over the killer's mask. This one is a more demonic looking clown mask, and it looks a lot more imposing in here. That earns it a big plus, as does the killer. Far more physically threatening, this one is far, far better and does manage to get a good scare here and there. The kills in here aren't that bad, and are quite decently done. We get a couple slit throats, a person set on fire, a machete slice to the top of a person's head, and the coolest one, using a broken beer bottle to gouge out both eyes of a victim. It's far more effective than how it sounds, and it scores as the coolest scene. The film does move at a fairly fast pace, helped along mostly with the inclusion of several flashbacks, and the woods themselves do give off a mildly threatening atmosphere. This could've been a whole lot worse.The Bad News: One of the main things that holds this one down is that the cheese that helps most films here instead hurts it. The fact that the film is cheesy here results in the fact that the gore looks terrible and is quite disastrous. Several wounds re-appear later at completely different places than where they were first struck at, it spurts out quite unrealistically, and in general it looks really terrible. The film also looks pretty bad in a couple other areas, which is another big sign of it's cheesy nature. There are many plot holes and confusing moments in here that to take time out to explain them all would be a waste, but just know that they're there and quite obvious. There's also the fact that the film contains the overly-clichéd "film-within-the-film" storyline, as it's really been done to death and can't really have anything new brought to it. It also shows off the cheesy nature even more. There's other factors which hurt this one, but those are the big ones.The Final Verdict: There's far worse films out there, but this still has a lot of problems to fix. It is better than the first one, so it has that going for it, but the only real ones who will get much out of this will be the most ardent slasher fans or the low-budget, independent film fans.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, brief drug use and a mild clothed sex scene

LadyGrace0 I chose this movie at the video store with my friend, who is a huge fan of horror films. I've seen plenty of flicks, especially from the horror genre, that suck - but believe me, Camp Blood 2 is just bad, bad, bad. It must have the lowest budget in cinema history. The filming is pathetically amateurish, with only one camera used by an obviously inept cameraman. The plot is completely unoriginal, totally cliched and fails entirely to engage the audience. The characters are flat, one-dimensional and uninteresting, and the acting is atrocious. Not to mention the script, which, to top it all off, is absolutely diabolical.You may think I'm going overboard here, but honestly, I'm not. Camp Blood 2 really is this terrible. It is so awful in the extreme that I actually felt mad at whoever made it, because it is criminal to waste even the lowest of budgets on utter garbage such as this.

FrightMeter One has to keep in mind when viewing the Camp Blood series that they are by no means big budget, widely released films, but low-budget, direct-to-video films that are geared toward a specific sub-group of horror fans....those who will watch anything horror, no matter its budget or production values. Lord knows that this series lack both.Borrowing elements from "Friday the 13th", "Scream", and numerous other slasher films, the Camp Blood series focuses on a mad slasher in a downright creepy clown mask who terrorizes Camp Blackwoods. The first was mildly entertaining, due to the characters and the surprisingly great performance (well, I thought so anyway) by the lead actress, who returns for Part 2. Being suspected of the murdering her friends in the first film, a money-hungry independent film maker talks her into being his "technical assistant" on the set of his VERY low-budget take on the murders. To top it off, he wants to return to the same spot, Camp Blackwood, where her friends were butchered. Well, needless to say, the clown returns to wreak havoc on the film crew. The murders in this film will please any gore fan...they are very over the top and extremely gory and there are some interesting characters for being a DTV slasher. It's fast paced, and if you can get past just how poor the production values are, you might actually enjoy it. Again, the lead gives a decent performance and some of the more annoying characters are dispatched in gruesome ways. Overall, "Camp Blood 2" is better than the first. The pace is faster, there are more kills, the clown is creepier and more unrelenting this time around, and the premise, as flawed and ridiculous as it is, doesn't seem like a clichéd "Friday the 13th" rip-off like the first one did.But please take my positive comments on this film to mean it is a cinematic masterpiece. It is far from it. It is just decent for what it is...an EXTREMELY low-budget, independent, direct-to-video horror film. The plot is ridiculous and unbelievable, which is the film's biggest problem...yeah, let's take a suspected murdered back to the woods where she apparently butchered her friends and let her roam around. The production values will immediately turn many off. The acting is as you would expect, particularly from the supporting characters. The ending is hokey and somewhat disappointing for several reasons that I won't get into because of spoilers.But I try to be objective with any film that I watch and it is always a good thing when there is no point in the film where I want to turn it off. "Camp Blood 2" kept my interest and, with the same director, managed to be better than the first. That is always a plus. If you plan to check this out, however, please remember...it's low budget as can be!My Grade: C-

haightvanash "Camp Blood 2" is a surprisingly entertaining film. My friend and I rented it because we enjoy watching horrible movies, and this appeared to be one. While watching it though, I began to enjoy it. The plot is that the character who survived the first film is in a mental institution. She and her friends went camping at Camp Blood at her friends were killed off by someone in a clown mask. Now, a director wants her to assist him in making a film about the experience. In a very unlikely scenario, she is released and allowed to act as a technical advisor to the film.The catch is that the film is being shot on location at Camp Blood because the director believes that it will allow the actors to "feel the terror." Of course, a new clown-masked killer arrives and begins to slaughter the crew.This film has a few minor plotholes and occasional spots of bad-acting, but is executed well, has well-done death scenes, and a few INTENTIONALLY funny parts.I give "Camp Blood 2" a score of 7
