Storyline

Two teens on their way to a backwoods party come across a beautiful young woman having car trouble. Their search for help only gets them lost, deep in the woods, where they meet Forest Ranger Bill with a penchant for scary stories. The campfire flickers long into the night as the ranger uses words to weave his tapestry of terror, filling their young minds with a host of horrific images that will be burned into your consciousness long after the fire's last embers have gone out. Insane doctors, Indian ghosts, bad drugs, a deranged handyman with shiny new shears - all that and more awaits anyone brave enough to stay until sunrise... if you live that long!

User Reviews

boring camp fire bilge

This is one of the titles I bought from play earlier in the year for £1.99. This movie makes the other ones seem good but I am getting ahead of myself.

The plot A couple of teenagers breakdown in their car in a forest. They meet a gal and she is cute so they follow her into the woods probably under the assumption that one of them will score big with her by the end of the movie. They get a bit lost but see a campfire and go towards it. The movie then turns into an anthology of shlock horror movies. The movie contains three stories each one atrocious. The best one is about an red Indian who steals the youth off to teenage thugs who want to do him harm. Then there is a lame female serial killer story and lastly a really lame psycho janitor story.

Summation. All in all this movie sucks. If i had got this free with a mag I would have felt ripped off. It has dodgy digital effects of the lowest quality. The acting is really below par and the plot is atrocious. This movie has nothing to offer. Avoid at all costs.
