This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Before seeing it I had no knowledge of CAMPFIRE TALES an anthology horror film featuring three dark tales of horror wrapped around not one but two other stories . We've all heard those urban legends such as chap comes home and his flatmate is having hardcore sex with a woman and being overcome by lust he joins in only to realise too late that the woman the flatmate is sexing up just happens to be the chap's sister . There's many , many variations on this type of tale most being total and complete BS The stories contained in this film are ones that I'd never heard of and almost certainly have been made up for the movie and the stories themselves are not all that explicit which is no bad thing since this movie does try and build upon a sense of atmosphere and tension without going overboard on the gore . If there's a problem it's that you can see the twist coming because it's been done so many times before in better known and perhaps better films But that's the thing CAMPFIRE TALES is the prior piece and I had to check it with the release dates on this website which tells me it was released straight to video a couple of years before twist endings became all the rage in Hollywood movies . As it stands this low budget horror gets some respect from me from being restrained and some more respect for being slightly more original than two other films using the same type of twist that both made a lot of money at the box office at the turn of the century

'Campfire Tales' is an enjoyable horror anthology film which features three pretty good stories. It's wraparound story involves four teenagers driving back home after a concert. They get into a car accident, and are forced to huddle in the woods. A campfire is built and that's when the stories are told. The first is about a newly-wed couple driving to Las Vegas, but decide to take the back roads to get there. Their RV is stalled in the middle of the woods and both are eventually attacked by some creature lurking in the dark. Creepy little tale. The next one is way more realistic, it involves an 11 year old girl who chats online with who she thinks is a girl her age. The person is actually a paedophile, and he stalks her one night when she's home alone. Very well done The final story is a ghost tale involving murder and ends with a twist. Another creepy entry!The wraparound story with the four teens is also well put together and ends on a but of a shocking note. The first time I watched it, I had no clue that would happen. 'Campfire Tales' has an 'Urban Legend' feel to it. All of the stories actually involve well known urban legends, but I can't go further without giving away massive spoilers. The acting was well done from everyone involved, but the goods of this movie are the stories they tell. The first story about the creature in the woods was really scary and you felt for the couple. And that second story with the little girl was very realistic, not to mention there were some tense moments when the guy goes into her house. The third story had an eerie feel to it, but I only wish it was longer. A few question marks left on that one.Overall, I'd recommend 'Campfire Tales' to everyone! It was a creepy little horror anthology film that tells genuinely scary stories. 7/10

I decided to watch this on FearNet on demand for free because I figured well, nothing else looks enjoyable. And it turned out to be quite a good little horror surprise! The film serves as an anthology of four urban legends told from the point of view of four teenagers whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. After they decide to build a campfire in the woods, they begin to tell their spooky stories and the movie transitions to the events in the stories.The Honeymoon- a newlywed couple traveling cross country in an RV to Las Vegas is terrorized when they park in a wooded area by evil beings that hunt by the full moon. (I won't spoil that for you!) The Hook- Amy Smart and James Marsden, (probably the most famous people in the movie besides beautiful Christine Taylor) play the young couple who come face to face with the maniac that has a hook for a hand in this most recognizable short.People can Lick Too- this is probably the scariest and most dark of the stories. A young girl chats with another girl on the internet, but it turns out that it's actually a man who is obsessed with her and he proceeds to break into the house when she's alone. This was really chilling.The Locket- This is also a great story with Glen Quinn and Jacinda Barrett, who play a motorcyclist and a beautiful mute girl who are terrorized by ghosts from a previous century in a mysterious farm house. This was good but it was the weakest of the entries.The group around the campfire slowly develop their own terrifying experience in their segments between stories, and the end of this movie is surprising and really awesome! Overall this is not bone-chillingly scary but it's certainly a great little guilty pleasure that horror fans alike would definitely find worthwhile!
