It was ok for what it is

Not great, but certainly better than 4 and 5. The acting, dialogue, and effects are what you would expect from a Camp Blood movie. I did enjoy the characters in this one and the different storyline.

Hard to believe they're still making these films

Warning: Spoilers
CAMP BLOOD 666 is the sixth in an interminable series of shot-on-video horror films featuring a guy wearing a clown mask hunting through the woods and killing off innocent victims. I suppose the only reason these films continue to be made is that they're really cheap to produce so they must turn a profit somewhere along the line. This one begins with an eye-opening nude photo shoot in the woods featuring scream queen Tina Krause before moving into more mundane territory as various characters are set up before being murdered. The kills are shot without originality or effects, just the same old machete impalement in the stomach played over and over again. It's a blurry bore.

One of the best entries in the series!

"Camp Blood" is a long-running SOV horror film series that began in 1999. There are six films altogether, including the newest addition to the franchise, "Camp Blood 666." The new film stars horror legends George Stover (Nightbeast, The Alien Factor) and Tina Krause (Witchouse III), as well as some up-and-coming performers. The film was directed by Ted Moehring.

The movie revolves around the disappearance of a local boy and his sister's efforts to locate him inside Camp Blood. The sheriff's department is not much help in locating the boy and locals believe it has something to do the occult and the evil clowns of Camp Blood.

I really enjoyed several aspects to the movie. The cinematography was nice and the movie looks good. Most of the performers did a really solid job and the two leads played off of each other nicely; their relationship was believable and they are the strongest lead characters since the first two movies. George Stover is always awesome and his role as the concerned father of the missing boy is very strong and dramatic. The sound quality on the film was good, but sometimes the music was too loud to hear what people were saying. This was the only real complaint I had with the film. Other than this, I really, really dug the movie and the cool gore f/x it provided. The clown mask is also the best in the series since the first film! Very creepy

If this series continues, I hope Moehring continues in the role of director. He did a very nice job and I look forward to seeing "Camp Blood 7" with him at the helm.

Another overall entertaining entry in the franchise
kannibalcorpsegrinder8 January 2024
After receiving news on her brother, a woman and her boyfriend head out to a special section of the local woods said to be haunted by both a Satanic cult and a vicious serial killer, but when they discover the killer clown has been resurrected and is loose in the woods must stop his rampage.

Overall, this is a pretty enjoyable addition to the franchise. One of the finer aspects here is the way this one tries to operate as a different entity while still trying to feel like a genuine franchise entry. The initial setup of the brother joining the strange Satanic cult and then heading out into the woods with her friend to find him only to learn that the killer clown has returned to start a new killing spree is an intriguing setup at the heart of the film. As the first half here deals with the search through the woods for the missing brother that uncovers the evidence of the cult's activity in the area as well as the connection to the killer's history and folklore-like status in the area that goes along with the nature of how the rest of the local police force treats the subject which is enough to provide a fine starting point. As this setup comes into play quite nicely, it forms the basis for an incredibly fun and enjoyable set of cheesy stalking scenes featuring the killer clown going off on his rampage. The opening slaughter after being resurrected by the cult gives this a strong start with some great kills alongside some solid action of the resurrection ceremony alongside the occult rituals on display, which then turns into the strong enough series of solid shock ambushes. With sequences showing it coming across random strangers in the woods, the police officers sent to look for the missing brother, or anyone else that comes into the woods, this provides the kind of cheesy confrontations where it all takes place with silly, low-key kills centered stabbings, impalings, or getting their limbs hacked off. It's all done at a decent enough pace to keep things moving along and features several intriguing aspects to prepare this one for the fine finale which includes some more traditional stalking and a couple of intriguing revelations that have a lot to like here. This one does have some slight issues which are all to be expected in a genre outing like this. The majority of the flaws revolve around the obvious low budget on display, from the general guerilla filmmaking approach of being out in the woods, repeated locations being used for different sections of the woods, or the seemingly endless amount of ambushes where the killer appears to a random stranger and then knocks them off. That is a major contributing factor to the overall feeling of the low budget being utilized, much like the flimsy and oftentimes ludicrously cheesy gore gags that are decent enough at points but also look like genuine mannequin parts that are displayed for severed parts that are the most egregious examples of that and are what end up lowering this one overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
