A independent director and his film crew are filming a low budget horror slasher movie in a deserted cabin at a summer camp, until one late night
the actor who is playing the slasher (Shaun Tisdale) and the director get into a heated argument in which the actor tells the director he quits.
While storming out of the cabin minutes later the actor (who is still in costume) walks back in and decides to take things in his own hands and
starts slaughtering and brutally mutilating all the cast and film crew with his machete. Not long after, four teenagers get a flat tire on the highway
while heading to the woods for a weekend of drugs, sex and beers, but their weekend trip changes for the worst when they run into the masked
machete-wielding psychopath.
Camp Death is a film that pays homage to the Friday The 13th series. It also runs for a short forty minutes.
Independent film director Shaun Tisdale (who also plays the psychopath) coughs up and tells us straight in the commentary that he has not been
to fucking film school, and why bother getting a loan and putting yourself though school while you can just charge us that money and just make a
fucking horror movie.
Which is understandable but the question is, did it pay off?
Well I have to say yes and no. It's good to see Shaun getting off his ass and getting into film making, it takes a lot of guts and cash to do this. So I
have to hand it to the guy for doing that, the plot was pretty cool. Also within the first 4 minutes of the film you get to see two lesbians smoking a
joint in bed before stripping off and going at it. Again we get to see another full nudity sex scene further on in the movie, which again was
awesome to watch. A death scene when for twenty secs we see the slasher grabbing this chicks head and smashing it into a tree over and over
again, Fuck that was pretty intense to watch. And the ending was another awesome kill scene with the video clerk getting two DVDs rammed into
her skull.
Now that's probably the good shit from this movie, the bad shit was 60% of this movie was either out of focus, too grainy, shaky camera work, too
many close up shots, badly edited, audio drop outs, poor lighting and last but not least a lot of the death scenes had a red tinge while shooting. I
had a fucking hard time making out what was exactly happening in the background when the slasher was on his rampage.
Now I ain't bagging the shit out of this film, director Shaun Tisdale has got an awesome film happening here, it's short and straight to the fucking
point with heaps of nudity, sex, drugs, beers, vulgar language, and blood guts and gore, and that's all we want to see in a horror movie. The cast
in Camp Death wasn't even paid to work, well they kinda were more bribed by beers and subway, hey if ya pay them least ya can do is feed them
huh! Shaun has the potential to be an awesome indie film maker, though this is his first attempt in film making. I hope this isn't the last we see of
him, its just all trial and error right now for the guy.
So I can't really recommend this film right now, not when you can't see most of the movie. Those who really enjoy independent films well you can
give this a go, but I would hold off until maybe Lick A Frog Productions gets another loan and hopefully re-shoots this film. And this time Shaun
won't smoke any more fucking joints while editing the movie.
