 Late May 11, 2008
"Campfire Tales" is a story about four teenagers who, on their way from a concert, get involved in a car crash. While waiting for someone to stop and help they decide to keep themselves enteratained by telling each other urban legend stories. It's a wonderful premise however, I guess I'm a bit late to this movie. It was extremely easy to figure out what was really the case here. I guess the true moral of this story is that not everything is as it seems. Still....it's a guilty pleasure.
 Yay!!!! December 17, 2007
I remember seeing this movie on tv a lot a long time ago. I really like this movie because it is scary and the ending is surprising. This movie is a must buy!!!!
The Twist June 13, 2007
I really liked this movie. It was creepy and entertaining. This would be great to watch with the lights off, curled up with your sweetie. The twist at the end though I did not see coming. It lifted this movie (not that it needed a lot of lifting) about the average 'B' movie. Four stars is fair as this film delivers what it promises when you read the cover. It's worth checking out.
Campfire Tales : Just creepy enough November 23, 2006

"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.
A good movie. September 23, 2006

First of all, "The Hook" wasn't all that good. I liked this movie, and the "People Can Lick Too" story is just creeeeepy. This movie is also has a good twist. Here's what the stories in this movie are based on:
The Hook: Based on the urban legend "The Hook". The killer's hook is often hanging from the door handle.
The Honeymoon: Based on the urban legend "The Boyfriend's Death". Mostly, the guy is killed by an escaped maniac, hanging from a tree limb upside-down, his fingernails scraping the car, or his feet, or, the psychopath is banging the boyfriend's head against the car.
The Campfire: I don't know if this story is based on anything.
People Can Lick Too: Based on the urban legend "The Licked Hand". The dog is often found decapitated, slashed to death, skinned, or throat slit, hanging from the shower head. Poor dog. The girl is also sometimes a teenager, in her 20's, or elderly.
The Locket: Based on a story called "The Green Ribbon". Usually the girl's decapitation is a mystery.
But where's Willy "The Hook" Peters?
