| "Campfire Tales" is a decent low-budget horror movie. The concept is really good; A group of teens who have a car accident, ride out the night by telling each other urban legends at an old, abandoned church. Unfortunitely, not all of the stories work. The brief opener, "The Hook" is beyond hokey, & "People Lick Too" is just plain uncomfortable to watch. "The Boyfriend's Death" is far superior, and is genuinely unsettling. "The Locket" has it's moments, and ends up enjoyable if for nothing else then the final scene (which was over the top and funny, in a b-movie kind of way). The film itself, has a really nice twist, which is rare in horror movies (or any movies these days, when the ending if often a forgone conclusion). Overall, not the best, but "Campfire Tales" definitely has it's moments which make it worth seeing. |
