Camp Blood 5 (2016 Video) User Reviews

The only thing worse than Camp Blood 4 is Camp Blood 5

[gojiseb · 1/10 · 4 July 2017]

Camp Blood 4 would be the worst slasher ever made (and a strong contender for worst horror movie ever made) if Camp Blood 5 didn't exist. Even more aimless and ugly than the fourth film, this one is just flat-out awful and further solidifies Dustin Ferguson as nothing more than an elaborate con-artist masquerading as a b-movie maker.

Loathsome, detestable, boring and filled to the brim with stock footage, CB 5 is as worthless as they come. Avoid at all costs.

A film in which very little happens

[Leofwine_draca · 1/10 · 18 January 2018]

CAMP BLOOD 5 is another interminably terrible shot-on-video slasher sequel which consists of footage ripped off from previous sequels. It's amateur night once more, as a fresh bunch of characters (plus one or two series survivors) once again find themselves menaced in the woods by a killer in a clown mask in some very half-hearted sequences. The horror content here is very limited and for much of the running time you'll be twiddling your thumbs just waiting for something to happen.

Talk Nerdy to me.

This film picks up where the last feature left off. Raven (Schuylar Craig) talks to a shrink half way through and we end up viewing a big chunk of Camp Blood 4 including the nude scene which didn't have anything to do with Raven. This film adds Raven's mom (Maggie Struble) taking a shower in case you like piercings and tattoos with your FF nudity We get to see more film of Raven walking and shopping, if for some reason you didn't get bored watching it in the previous feature.

Guide: F-word, sex, nudity.

Like following someone on a hike

I'm a fan of killer clown movies, there's no doubt about that. I don't really know why, since a good majority of them are horrible,but I do enjoy them. The Camp Blood series, now seven movies in, has never been what im sure no one would call great, or even good,but it does have it moments. But this is probably the worst of the series. Picking up directly after the last movie ended, part five followers the sole survivor of the previous movie, Raven and......that's about it. We follow her as she stumbled around the woods, walking and stopping. If you're gonna watch any movie in this series, I'd suggest watching the first two, and MAYBE, if you can deal with it, Camp Blood 666. Otherwise, this franchise is complete sh**.

OK, THIS is the worst Film i've ever seen

So we are back at camp blood again and I don't know why i keep coming back cause this is one of the worst in the film series.

A quite underwhelming effort in the franchise

[kannibalcorpsegrinder · 4/10 · 21 August 2022]

Trying to get back to normal following the previous encounter, a woman who escaped the clutches of the killer clown tires of hearing others disbelieving her story and sets out with some friends to put an end to the killer's rampage once and for all.

This was an okay if more underwhelming follow-up to the previous entry in the series. When this one works nicely is due to the return of the storyline bringing her back to the camp. The first half, generating all the interludes and flashbacks to showcase the earlier events to build her psychosis and struggles that bring her back to the woods, once again provides enough of a grounding for a serviceable setup. The final straw, the therapist's office visit which spurs the visit to the woods for the final confrontation, is what sets the film going with the somewhat cheesy confrontation in the woods with the killer. This offers up the best gore and action here which is what makes for the film's best elements. There are some issues to be had here. One of the main problems is the generally plodding pace that carries on throughout the first half. This one takes longer than it should to get to the killer stalking in the woods as we get several montages involving her going through the motions of getting better, day-by-day in the care of her friends and family that have their place yet feel rather obvious in their padding. That could even more obviously be said of the enormous chunk of the film taken up by her watching the various horror films on TV, giving us a large swath of time consumed by stock footage of other films rather than the one we're watching which is a problem. The other issue here is the fact that all of this padding gives the film so little actual time with the killer that it doesn't even register much in terms of a slasher. Although most of the padded footage comes in the form of action involving the creature feature and slasher films on television she watches or the recollections of what happened to her friends running into the killer clown, it's not new footage of her returning to the woods and being stalked. Since the decision to go find him is so late in the film, this doesn't leave the chance for much of a confrontation scene here even if it is quite fun. Combined with the obvious low-budget on display, these here hold this one down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Nudity.

If you thought Camp Blood 4 was bad you have seen nothing yet.

[AESP_pres · 1/10 · 1 November 2020]

What the hell I put myself into... It's pretty much a big bunch of nothing with a long recap of part four and more filling while she watch TV with her mother who look younger than her... now if I want to be honest the film they watch on TV named Things seems to be 200% better than what I watch now. In the last 10 minutes she goes back to the forest with two of her friends to deal with the clown, will you be surprised if I told you the friends die? Finally she capture and kill the clown (I think) and come back home as the new clown (I think).

What a waste of time... 1/10

Complete Incompetence

[hbeeinc · 1/10 · 10 September 2021]

I missed the first 30mins (happily) but the set up seems to be that some girl from earlier in the series (Raven? I'm not sure) is talking to a psychiatrist in his...den? I'm really not sure what the room was supposed to look like. Everyone thinks she's crazy because she saw some murders take place so the whole movie consists of exposition and then flashing back to the murders.

The linear time is: She witnesses the murders The shrink writes her a scrip for anti-psychotics.

She decides to take two girlfriends into the wood to kill the guy.

Oh. And the killer wears a bad, evil clown mask.

The ONLY thing this movie has going to for it is an NC-17 sex scene featuring a couple with matching tattoos. The rest is horribly shot on video. It's either too dark to see or the white balance is way, way off.

How bad is the actual direction? There's a scene where one of the girls is being chased. It's a static shot. First the girl runs left to right. Then Mr. Killer Clown follows her. THEN, without seemingly moving the camera, the girl run right to left. Then Mr. KC. Again she runs left to right. There's like a 5 second pause before Mr. KC follows. The scene may have been lit with a MagLite.

It's also a perfect storm of really bad writing and really bad acting. It's really bad. Not fun, bad. Just bad.

Now I'm going to see if the cast and crew who gave this POS 10/10 have written glowing reviews.

Avoid this.

Camp Blah FIVE?!

[murraydunsmore · 1/10 · 10 September 2023]

I love the original CAMP BLOOD trilogy by Brad Sykes, terrible as they are. Even through the low budget, it was clear that the person making them, and the folks involved, were giving it their all, and I appreciate that. I love the background to it: it takes a lot for someone to write and direct three films and present them to the public, and, if one person appreciates it as much as I do, it's a win. All this to say that I am a CAMP BLOOD apologist.

CAMP BLOOD 5, written and directed by Dustin Ferguson, unfortunately does not have the heart of the original trilogy. It's a compact 70 minutes long, so, with a runtime that sparse, you'd think it would be tightly written. There is not much here at all. The first half of the movie is filled with flashbacks to its predecessor, CAMP BLOOD 4, and the main character and her mother watching a movie (I know more about the movie they watched than the movie *I* watched); the second half is more flashbacks to the second half of CAMP BLOOD 4, rendering CAMP BLOOD 5 kind of useless in the grand scheme of things.

The summary promises Raven (Schuylar Craig) returning to Camp Blacktree to avenge her friends' deaths and stop the killer, once and for all, which could have promised some schlocky bloodshed and gore. Instead we are presented with almost nothing new, or riveting, at all. CAMP BLOOD 5 could have worked as a short film. Instead we are left with nothing more than an extended movie trailer, which promises us nothing and doesn't pique our interests in any meaningful way.

Fools

This series of films has to be at least tier two!!! Film is not about dialogue!!!
