ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

chris dimarino 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.

BA_Harrison Returning home from an Iron Maiden concert, four teenagers are involved in a car accident that leaves them stranded in the middle of nowhere; while they wait for help to arrive, the group huddle around a campfire to keep warm and tell each other scary stories...I don't know if this collection of spine tinglers is a sequel to or a remake of the 1991 low-budget horror anthology of the same name, or whether it is totally unconnected (although the inclusion of a hook-handed killer in both films' wraparound tale does suggest a link); whatever the case, it's a vastly superior movie boasting higher production values, better acting, and much tighter storytelling.Whilst only those completely ignorant of popular urban legends will find the stories particularly unpredictable, the skillful manner in which the material is handled results in loads of edge-of-the-seat tension and plenty of well executed scares before each inevitable conclusion. A smattering of light gore and a spot of gratuitous sex enlivens proceedings along the way, the result being a frightfully fun time, just right for the Halloween season.

Claudio Carvalho While driving in a dangerous zigzag manner on a lonely road in the night, the teenager Cliff (Jay R. Ferguson) has a car accident with his friends Lauren (Christine Taylor), Alex (Kim Murphy) and Eric (Christopher Masterson). While spending the cold night stranded in the woods around a campfire, they kill time telling ghost stories. In "The Honeymoon", the couple Rick (Ron Livingston) and Valerie (Jennifer MacDonald) travels in their RV to Las Vegas in their honeymoon. Rick takes a shortcut to visit the Clayton Caverns in the night, but the stranger Cole (Hawthorne James) advises them to leave the spot since dangerous creatures attack people in the full moon. In "People Can Lick Too", on the eve of her twelfth birthday, Amanda (Alex McKenna) tells her Internet friend Jessica that she is alone at home. However, Jessica is actually a psychopath. In "The Locket", the biker Scott (Glenn Quinn) is crossing the country on his motorcycle. When he has a problem with his bike, he finds an isolated house where the gorgeous dumb Heather Wallace (Jacinda Barrett) lives with her father. When the man returns from his herd, Scott finds the truth about Heather."Campfire Tales" presents three good horror tales, with monsters, psychopaths and ghosts and a surprising twist in the end. The weakest segment is "The Hook", with Eddie and Jenny, but the other stories a great. The plot point is totally unexpected and gives a great conclusion to this above average horror movie. My vote is seven.Title (Brazul): "Contos da Meia-Noite" ("Midnight Tales")

animalchain Some say this movie is a series of uninteresting, unoriginal stories. I say, some people are wrong. The movie neither contains a series of never-ending scares, nor pours on buckets of blood. What it does offer is a succession of stand-alone tales that each start out simple and slow and build to a slam-bang climax. The payoffs are worth the waits. The stories are kind of like those on the old Alfred Hitchcock Show or the Twilight Zone, or any of their modern day relatives (Tales from the Darkside, Monsters, etc.): the thrill and suspense comes from knowing that something very bad is going to happen very soon. Half the fun is in the waiting. As for unoriginal: check your dates. This movie was released before Urban Legends, so it beat them to the punch, namely the lovers in the car with a psycho on the loose segment and the people can lick segment (Urban Legends did a variation when the roommate was being raped/killed and the friend was none the wiser until she saw writing on the wall the next morning). It was also released prior to The Sixth Sense and The Others, so the ghost twist ending was not a rip-off, either. I passed over this movie when it came out because, admittedly, I tend to be leery of horror movies with no-name casts. I came across it recently at a video store, and was pleasantly surprised when I read through the cast list again. A lot of the actors who were no-name's then are somebody's now (Amy Smart, who had done Cry Baby prior, wasn't enough to do it for me, and I wasn't into Roseanne during it's original run, so the name Glenn Quinn meant nothing to me; thanks to Nick-at-Nite, I instantly recognized his name this time round). To those seeing this movie for the first time now, it probably would seem like a rip-off of the movies listed above. Just remember: it came first.
