Lackluster Horror Movie is Nothing New but Doesn't Bore
24 January 2012
Campfire Tales is a sectioned movie about a crashed vehicle's 4 inhabitants recounting horror tales. These tales are old recycled tales with an attempted new generation twist. This is not a movie that had really any good merits and nothing worth remembering yet is flowed well and was by no means a bad movie. An unknown group of actors did a great job in their individual roles (for the most part). However to say that they are modern day twists on old stories is an over exaggeration. Though none of the re imaginings were bad, the shortened time allowed them and comparison to many great horror remakes in the last decade render these attempts dull and inept. The production value was average but indicative of its time, and the sound was mediocre. I have almost no complements for the movie and no parts were memorable yet it flowed well and kept your attention by switching the story. This prevented deep character development and story intricacy but i don't think that was the goal of this brand of horror movie. I feel bad giving it a 4 because it was not that bad of a movie, but it failed to impress me and if you're not using original material than i set the bar a higher.
