... View MoreA block-headed comedy horror with religious overtones, BLOODY BLOODY BIBLE CAMP is as silly and cheesy as it sounds. I always find that the presence of a Ron Jeremy cameo guarantees that a film will be really bad, and so it proves here; to my surprise he plays Jesus in this film, which may be the most imaginative that the movie gets. Otherwise it's an inept, Troma-style trash flick, complete with cheap fx, voyeurism, lots of cheese, wooden acting, and PHANTASM's Reggie Bannister as a priest.

View MoreTo be fair I gave it a 3/10 for some good horror elements and making fun of religion (most movies wouldn't dare so it was funny to see one that did).However, unless you're a perverse teenager or dirty old man this movie isn't that great. To be honest, it was perverted, full of gross sex stuff that wrecked the entire plot and just plain weird towards the end. I'm not religious at all but getting a porn star to play the role of Jesus was a little much, not because it's sacrilegious but because it's just plain weird! The production company has a reputation for making lousy sex-filled horror movies, like their 2002 film Death Factory (crazy chemist woman goes on a killing spree in a chemical factory). But this movie? I highly doubt I will ever watch this thing ever again, it wasn't very entertaining, it was weird and disgusting and had next-to-nothing of a plot-line.
... View MoreOkay, I admit I am definitely a child of the 1980s when it comes to my favorite kind of horror movies. I have liked a handful of recent flicks, but I'm really fatigued on the 'torture porn' variety (and the self-aggrandizing, almost emo 'darkness' present in too many of them). I have really been missing the FUN of horror movies, the kind of fun my friends and I used to have when we'd pile in front of the television for the "Only After Midnight" blocks of horror films always broadcast on the weekends in the 80s and 90s ("976-EVIL" was a particular favorite of mine, as were the 'Prom Night' films).This movie took me right back to that kind of horror experience, and I felt like the makers of this movie loved those kinds of horror movies just as much (if not more than) I do. For the first time in a long time, I actually had FUN watching a horror flick.The film starts in the 1970s, where a series of grisly murders take place at The Happy Day Bible Camp at the hands of a masked figure known as Sister Mary Chopper. There's sex, there's violence, and one of the most twisted and hilarious decapitations I've ever seen.Flash forward to the early 1980s, and we find Father Richard Cummings (Reggie Bannister) interested in acquiring the camp, toting a brand new band of horny (and often clueless) bible campers along with him. All of your most beloved trope characters are represented here; The Horndog D-Bag (played with manic energy by Matthew Aidan), The Comely-yet-Dimwitted Virginal Sexpot (Jessica Sonneborn), The Childlike Fat Kid (Christoper Raff), The Shy One (Troy Guthrie), The Rakish Camp Counselor (Jay Fields), The Troubled Goth (Deborah Venegas), and The Mysterious One (the excellent Ivet Corvea, in what I think is the anchor performance). They're warned of the potential danger that awaits them at camp, but of course they all but ignore it as they're too busy thinking about themselves, who's going to score with whom, and who's going to win the Bible Bowl trivia contest. They pile in the van and head toward their doom singing their favorite ode to Jesus (a song written by Reggie Bannister himself, one that's so unbelievably catchy you might find yourself with an ear worm).These characters aren't riddled with pathos, and they're not supposed to be. You learn their names, behold their ridiculousness, and wonder how good old Sister Mary Chopper is going to dispatch with them. This movie has its tongue firmly planted in its bloody cheek, it pokes good-natured fun at the cliché's of 80s horror while simultaneously doing them blood spurting justice. It pays homage to 80s horror, I appreciated those winks to a shared history of gore but never felt like this movie was a gratuitous novelty item. It hearkens back to the past, but it also gives the finger to contemporary political correctness and shines on its own merits (one particular use of the murder weapon itself is something I'm not sure many other film makers would dare include in a mainstream Hollywood film these days, even if they wanted to). This movie pushes the envelope of taste in some scenes, but it does so with unapologetic glee. It never comes off as smug or up its own (to quote a character in the film) "rusty starfish". This is bloody murder in high, humorous spirits, and for me it was just plain fun to watch.The production values are surprisingly good for an indie horror, something I was impressed with. I've seen loads of painful indie horrors that looked like they were shot with a handy-cam and fake blood from a costume shop, you'll find none of that here (a little wind interference on the sound in one scene, but easily forgiven and forgotten). The special effects were also more than solid, and they provide plenty of T&A here in that great old fashioned tradition.You will probably love this movie best if you have a special place in your heart for camp sex comedies, the first batch of "Friday the 13th" movies, and stuff like "Scanners" or "Re-Animator". I've only watched it by myself so far, but I'm looking forward to sharing it with friends for a Saturday night slash-fest with laughs. It's THAT kind of movie.
... View MoreThis movie will make you jump, laugh and say what the $&%^ all in the same scene and at the end, you'll be glad you watched it. A great mix of classic horror and comedy and then you add in Ron Jeremy playing Jesus and you have an instant classic. The movie will keep you wanting to see what happens next and the soundtrack is fitting for the time the movie takes place (early 80's) and funny enough to have you and your friends singing when the movie is over. It has the gore and chicks every good horror movie should require and plot has a few hidden things you only pick up the more you watch it.If you are reading user reviews on this movie stop now and just watch it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!!!
