GL84 Heading up to a local lake, a group of friends having a party on the property realize that a meteor shower has unleashed a series of zombies from the ground and decide to make a run before they're caught and changed into zombies.This one here was a rather fun and enjoyable zombie effort. One of the best things about it is the rather fun and enjoyable atmosphere created throughout here, as this one here is the epitome of brain-less fun. This is best shown in the kind of great cheesy action to come from this one, including the one-shot sequences of the zombies running through the countryside after being resurrected as scenes of them attacking the oblivious fisherman, appearing at the security guard or the camping couple in the motor-home start this off rather well in getting to the action. As well, the redneck hunters who appear out of nowhere and begin taking them out with assault rifles, machine guns and rockets is even better as while it's quite stupid this one has a great sense of fun. There's even more enjoyable camp outside the action as the whole plot pretty much given away in a toss-away joke, the characters repeatedly make references how to behave in a horror film and the kind of attacks popularized by the zombies all give this a goofy, cheesy atmosphere that's quite funny at times. There's some great action to this, from the action on the boat-rental dock to the camp-ground battle that is full of action getting out of the cars with the dead pounding alongside them and the fights at the end with the second party getting attacked at the campground are quite enjoyable. Using one of the most logical and inventive methods of defense against zombies ever devised, a clever get- away plan that comes along and all the fun and suspense once it gets to the cars parked outside, it manages to make the film rather fun and entertaining, and there's also the fact that these different confrontations with them really manages to make this one so much fun since all the different ones allow for a great pace with plenty of big scenes throughout. Along with all the action, there's plenty of blood and gore in here, which while cheap-looking, all of these here make the film enjoyable as this did have a few small problems holding it down. One of the biggest is the self-censoring the film has towards the nudity. This one has plenty of opportunities to let it loose but comes up with ways to get around it, from a nude driver on the street filmed only at shoulder level, the in-car flashing is done the same way, changing into bathing suits is done under their shirts, a topless swim session is taken place off-screen but not seen and a later changing scene is done, admittedly humorously, by having a branch in front mimic the bobbing and weaving to keep it all hidden. The fact that it goes to such great lengths to keep it hidden is where the film comes under fire as it would've been fine had there been none at all. The other part to this is the terribly low-budget to it. From the terrible look of the zombies to the obviously fake blood to the weak CGI, this one doesn't have much to its effects at all. Overall, these are the only things wrong with it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and Brief Nudity.

Mitch Rogers A bit disjointed at moments but overall a great religious allegory. From some of the other reviews it is obvious that many people didn't "get it". The zombie motif is a brilliant metaphor for the ham-fisted efforts of the L.D.S. religion. The zombies symbolize the persistent evangelical (and often mindless)efforts of its missionaries. The story seems to be designed to be entertaining yet not overly preachy in its critique of Mormon and other evangelical religious cultures.I found the abortive use of (almost) nudity to represent the sexual repression at play within the evangelical community at large. The director seems to be throwing Mormon hypocrisy at us, forcing us to examine our own conflicted values.Today's current religious climate has made films such as Zombie Campout necessary. Here in the bible belt it is increasingly difficult to engage in constructive dialogs regarding religion. It appears that the writer chose the L.D.S. community for this metaphor as it seems to be the most glaringly obvious match for the analogy. I am sure that it took some amazing courage to produce this film and to find funding for something so critical of a mainstream religion.Though some may find the religious overtones too subtle to grapple with I think this film will stand the test of time as the zombie novelty wears off. This film will go a long way to further religious diversity and tolerance.

boonshka This piece of tripe is utterly disgraceful, and not even good enough to be sold in the five dollar bargain bin at your local Wal-Mart. I am not sure what they were thinking when they got involved, but certainly they expected it to be better than this. Sad thing is, it could have been so much better.I actually feel bad for the actors involved in this, because I can imagine their embarrassment. If I was them, I would try to buy up every copy to minimize the shame. Anyone voting a "10" for this movie (come on, a 10 for ZOMBIE CAMPOUT???) clearly has some stake in it. I also like these reviews that describe it as "great" and "you won't be disappointed" have only reviewed on this lame movie and nothing else.For the sake of your wallet, don't spend a dime on this movie.

justjammin HA!! This movie is so bad!! BUT I LOVED IT!!!So the director shares a birthday with Ed Wood (of Plan 9 fame) it's obvious that it's his first movie. But you know what, it made me laugh, seriously, through and through. I mean, they had to have no budget for this film, but considering it's finished, and the DVD quality is great, I'm really impressed.So I picked up the DVD at the Fango convention, and met the beautiful Misty Orman in person, she was super nice too. (And even more attractive in person.) She told me I would laugh, she was right I did laugh, and I laughed a lot!Anyway, these other reviews below say pretty much the same thing I was going to say. It has some rough spots, but overall, it's pretty great. I'm seriously looking forward to the next project these guys put out!!Bottom line, if you only like big budget stuff, and can't appreciate ultra low budget, very in your face funny, then stay away. But, if you have any ounce of intelligence and are up for a good hearty laugh, then go buy this DVD. IT'S TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
