alistairc_2000 This is one of the titles I bought from play earlier in the year for £1.99. This movie makes the other ones seem good but I am getting ahead of myself.The plot A couple of teenagers breakdown in their car in a forest. They meet a gal and she is cute so they follow her into the woods probably under the assumption that one of them will score big with her by the end of the movie. They get a bit lost but see a campfire and go towards it. The movie then turns into an anthology of shlock horror movies. The movie contains three stories each one atrocious. The best one is about an red Indian who steals the youth off to teenage thugs who want to do him harm. Then there is a lame female serial killer story and lastly a really lame psycho janitor story.Summation. All in all this movie sucks. If i had got this free with a mag I would have felt ripped off. It has dodgy digital effects of the lowest quality. The acting is really below par and the plot is atrocious. This movie has nothing to offer. Avoid at all costs.

norapoleon Upon going to the local video store with a 2-for-1 rental deal, I decided to rent Campfire Stories as my free one. Well, I probably should have known what I was in for when I saw "Starring Jamie-Lynn Sigler of the Sopranos!" as its publicity. Basically, two guys on their way to a bangin' woods party get a flat tire and pick up a random hot girl on the way. They go into the woods, and hear three cute sweet tales told by an over-sized boy scout. The first story is one of revenge--four football players are killed by a criminally insane janitor who escaped from a mental institution that conducted "pain threshold" experiments. Yeah. Death by croquet mallet--nothing is better.Honestly, I didn't really watch the second story. The third story has a bit of a twist--two girls decide to get even with their boyfriend at one girl's crazy-dead-grandmother's house. Chaos and death ensues! The ending that ties it all together is 'eh' at best.I did not expect much. I really didn't. I love campy humor, but even this tried me. I would recommend this movie for twelve-year-old slumber parties and/or bad horror movie marathons.

bordentownfilms 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.

Lady-of-Rohan *MAJOR SPOILERS! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!*The movie begins with with a digital skull in a roaring campfire talking for about 6 minutes. Seriously, this thing talks for 6 minutes. I couldn't really tell what the heck it was saying because my friends were laughing hysterically so I couldn't hear. Does it really matter what it's saying? Anyways, it's still talking. When it finally finishes, we meet two guys who are on their way to a party in the woods (!) and they blow a tire and come across a girl who is stranded. While they look for help, they come across a creepy ranger/cop that demands that he tells them stories. The ranger/cop tells them three stories, and they are: 1 )A group of boys harass and attempt to kill a mentally insane janitor at school and find the time to beat the hell out of him after school. The janitor gets his revenge by torturing them and cutting off their heads with hacksaws. 2)Three stoner 20-something friends stalk and kill a Native Indian man for his peace pipe. They settle down and enjoy it when they get the life sucked out of them and turn into old people.3) A young girl is terrified that someone is stalking her and believes that it is her boyfriend that taped her and spread the dirty stuff all over the net. She seeks revenge with her best friend by taping their boyfriends in return. Everyone is murdered with a knife, and the audience doesn't know who is committing these grisly murders. They think its the crazy grandma (long story) but it's really the girl. The ranger/cop is done his story time and the threesters are finally allowed to go. The remaining 5 minutes are weird so try to follow along. The tow truck picks the kids up and drops them off at a place where they can make some phone calls. Inside is a weird night club with a Slipknot look-alike band playing. The two guys (where did the girl go?) look a little freaked out, go to the bartender for drinks, they turn around and all the bad guys from the the campfire stories are there in the club. They kill the boys, and the girl runs out screaming of the club and waves down a car and says, "Oh thank goodness you're here. I'm having some car trouble". She then turns to the camera, gives an evil grin, and her eyes turn red. Credits roll. I'm not sure that that evil grin means. Maybe the film makers are trying to make us believe that it was the girl who planned this all out. Who cares. It's a bad movie.Don't rent this film useless your prepared to have a really confused look on your face for 90 minutes. The acting is atrocious, as well and the special-effects (They really are special). The whole film looks like it was filmed with a handy cam. The production is typical High School project status. It probably cost $10 to make. 1/10
