Story: A bunch of teenagers go to a camp and get killed. According to the people who made this film, it's a celebration to low budget horror movies, especially Friday the 13th. I love those movies, but I truly hate this one.

Camp Slaughter has nothing of what once made the Friday the 13th movies great. 20 years later, the special effects are even worse, truly terrible. The acting never was a major factor for the success of Friday movies, but compared to the acting in Camp Slaughter, the whole crew should have gotten Academy awards. Neither does Camp Slaughter have any of the kind of self ironic humour that always where present in the older low budget movies. And worst of all: it has no originality what so ever. Everything in Camp Slaughter has not only been done before, it has been done much much better before. In fact: it has never been done worse. Camp Slaughter is not a celebration to Friday the 13th. It's a rip off that, if anything, gives the whole genre of low budget horror movies a bad name.

And no, it's not even so bad it's good. It's just so bad it's almost unbearable

Before seeing Camp Slaughter I had only given one movie the worst grade ever, a 1 out of 10. After seeing this, I'm actually considering upgrading the other movie, because I'm not sure there is another movie that completely lacks every quality in the way Camp Slaughter does. A movie couldn't possible be more pointless and boring.

So terrible it's below the scale. Avoid at all costs.

Vampire Lestat joins rock band. Band becomes famous. Pretty girl working at the British "Center for Paranormal Studies" gets interested. Reads Lestats journal. Finds out that he once made a statue come to life by playing violin to it, and also drank some blood from it. Girl meets Lestat at the traditional vampire hangout in London. Girl and Lestat become friends. Girl goes to concert. More vampires show up. Other vampires don't like that Lestat has a band. Some fighting.

As bad as it sounds? Definitely. 2 out of 10.

Some people are celebrating this movie as a fantastic documentary. It's not. As a documentary it would be pretty useless and the people celebrate is as such, hasn't really gotten the point (although they wish they would have).

Las Hurdes a hilarious comedy and at the same time an interesting experiment with the nature of film making and it's possibilities to represent reality, as well as distorting it. Las Hurdes is probably the first pseudo-documentary and as such it is both genius and extremely funny, in a bizarre Month Python-way. 8,5/10

A sarcastic comment on European colonialism, but most of all: an absolutely magnificent adventure about the two adventurers Daniel Dravot (Sean Connery) and Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine), with ambitions of becoming kings of whatever country that may want them. Breathtaking scenery, witty dialogue, excellent acting, sarcastic humour and an absorbing story. This movie has it all.

The Indiana Jones and LOTR movies are great adventures, but simply can't be compared to this masterpiece. It's doesn't get better than this, and therefore it's one of five movies I've given the rating 10/10.
