Camp Daze (2005)

I love this movie so much

How sad is this?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

What a piece of garbage this 'movie' is...what makes it worse is that it actually tries to pass itself off as an actual 'movie'...this is not a movie...this is a pathetically made camcorder homage to the movie Friday the 13th.....it's so bad that i was actually embarrassed to be watching it...thank god i was alone...it has millions of deaths...yet nearly each one is just the actor holding an arrow into themselves...or fake syrup type blood that drips just like syrup does....it's an absolute insult that this camcorder rubbish sits alongside actual movies in the DVD store....the 'actors' are horrendously bad....and i mean BAD.....doubt anyone of them will ever reach near z-list status....plus, lots of very bad male actors who rely on taking their tops off to elevate their screen presence....which fails miserably.....it's hard to believe that in this century trash like this is put before us and they expect us to enjoy it, or even respect it as a movie.....NEVER. This truly is a useless piece of camcorder crap that deserves to be forgotten before more people are fooled into watching it....you have been warned!!!!

No, but seriously, this was one of those movies that was so bad that I loved it. The horrible script, the bad acting, the camera work of five year olds, and a music score that was actually good, all combined to form a movie that was so bad that it was actually good. It's one of those horror movies that actual belongs in the comedy section. Then there was the blood. All of the death scenes, and fight scenes, etc. were done so badly that you could not help but laugh. Not to mention execution of most of the lines. I mean, seriously, to fully understand the hilarity of this movie, you need to go see it. I highly recommend it.

OK, Me and some friends decided to get some movies one night. I went off to get a movie and let them decide on what to get. When they showed me the movie and I read the back, I knew we should have put it down and walked away. It was a great idea for a movie, but if it was done badly, it would have been terrible. The reason I told this fun little story was because the drive to the Hollywood Movies down the road was scarier than this movie. Let me elaborate.From the beginning to end this movie reeks of its "C" rate quality. Poor camera angles, bad acting, and the way-too-often use of the close-up shot make it hard to watch to begin with. Then, the killings make it even harder to watch, at least without laughing. In one instance, A couple is "smoking" and begin to make out. The man hears a noise and looks to see what is was. While he turns you hear a very vivid "wosh" of an arrow. He turns back and begins to make out with his very dead girlfriend while she is covered in blood and has an arrow in her neck. It takes him about 40-50 seconds to figure out that she is indeed dead. Then, instead of yelling, he runs away from the camp, into the middle of the woods, then yells. I understand its a movie, but the amount of unbelievability of it was just too much.The only reason I don't give this movie a 1 is because I found it to be funny as hell, but for all the wrong reasons. Film teachers should use this move to describe all the things not to do when making a movie.

Too many reviews on the IMDb claim the film (more often now video) they just saw is the worst film ever made. If there is any justice left this video ( and not for one moment will you not believe it is anything other than a shot on video) will garner new worst film ever reviews. But hey the first people to write reviews of it loved it. Well fortunately most films get watched by more people than made them,though the only reason to sit through this is if you helped make it.There's almost no point to talking about what's bad about it. Everything is.But what do slasher fans expect? Let's run it down.Nudity===no none there other than some shirtless men in tight short shorts--wonder what that's all about? Gore? Mostly the dribble candy looking blood over an actors skin. Oh, one early kill has the dead woman blinking. More stranglings than slashings and the killer usually arrows instead of a knife. It's pretty much all of the, "Oh I'm pretending I'm being killed" variety. Like you'd see from a bunch of nine-year-olds playing Cowboys and Indians in their back yard with some food coloring for blood.Music? Well the only decent thing in the movie is the music score, that claims and might actually have some real instruments used. Unfortunately much of the music is god awful pseudo 80's songs that are bad and don't sound like 80's either.Acting? Well you don't expect acting in a slasher film but I mean really.The 80's? Well that era for slasher films this one tries for, but the wardrobe isn't consistent, the valley girl is really a few years too early to be in the film and has too many ear rings. The shot on video nature makes it all look cheaper than even the cheapest slasher films of that era. There's no suspense or nastiness here, the set ups for the kills are pretty weak and or silly.Comedy? Well no you don't expect that in a slasher film, but don't worry unless you think bad actors reciting lines you'll recognize from better movies is funny, you won't have comedy getting in the way of the film. The black chick character says she just ate so much her t**t is going to explode. I guess that counts for something? Unique killer gimmick? Do sort of loose fitting yellow work gloves terrify you? Well they won't after you see this movie so don't be afraid to keep your eyes open. Even if you are afraid of sort of loose fitting yellow work gloves watching this movie will cure you.Something like taking their cheapo video camera and badly recorded sound away from these people so they never make another "movie" again.The central idea (sort of a time travel thing) is really badly done so they can't take credit for that.All kidding aside this is trash made by people who don't know how to make a movie and don't care about the movie they made. Annoying video hissing sound pops in and out with the camera edits, just like it does in your own home movies. Wow, that's great. Greenish video skin tones that don't match the shots around them, just like it does in your own home movies. Wow, how do they do that? Brightly illuminated by bright white light night scenes, just like when you take your light on top of your video camera and turn it on. Wow, why watch these people do this when you can already make a movie will all the excitement and skill that these people are vomiting up all over you. Talent aside, these are basic basic technical requirements that no one who made or released this film gave a damn about. Why, because they think slash fans are too stupid to care.Hire the composer of the score, send the rest of the people involved in this film onto the Titanic with third class tickets and glory in the thought of them freezing painfully to death on a moonless night long long ago, and try to forget you ever saw this thing. Oh and while you imagine them freezing to death imagine the juries at the film festivals that this film touts on its box being set on fire as their eyes are eaten out by fire ants.And please note I never said it was the worst film I'd ever seen, but I hope other reviews do. Not that you should believe them usually, because not every low budget shot on video film is this bad.
