Dustin Ferguson truly is this generation's Nick Millard. His films are dull, aimless, horrendously shot, pitifully edited and padded out to extreme lengths with stock footage from more impressive films. The difference is that while Millard used footage from his own films, Ferguson decides to ransack the work of real filmmakers like Mark Polonia and Dennis Devine.

This is the fourth in the Camp Blood series. While the previous instalments were imperfect but effectively fun low budget slasher movies, this one is a dismal, dreary affair with next to no plot, non-existent pacing and quite possibly the single worst villain ever committed to celluloid.

The only reason I give it two stars is because they play a really kick ass power metal song in the film and over the end credits. It's too good for this abysmal pile or garbage.

Wanna know the worst part? It's actually the best film I've seen from Ferguson. Let that sink in.

My vote is 0 out of 10. Utter rubbish. This was a High School project, right? Surely it was. I can think of no other reason why it was so brutally awful and that's being kind. I believe this was filmed in the space of a week or so and to be frank about it, i'm amazed it was actually that long a period of time. It has a feel of a Film that was rushed through in 24 hours, and i'm including editing in that time frame and any travel time. How anyone could actually have any pride in this production is beyond me, it is as my summary states the worst film i have ever watched and i now feel i should apologise to the cast and crew of other films i've ripped into over the years. You'll notice i haven't even touched on the plot or any major aspect of the film and that should be warning enough for anyone else to stay the f*** away from this steaming pile of Dog s***e.

Ok this movie was just bad like really bad and I have a feeling it's not going to get any better in the film series.

These films are just worse and worse. What a joke.

No I'm joking it's a piece of crap badly shot (the DP must have been the dumbest one in the trade, everything is overexposed or too dark), badly acted, made of at least 20% of footage from the previous movie and it's always the same laughable special effects.

I almost forgot the concert... no there isn't one, no way in a film like this, but the score is filled with music from a bargain basement Dokken sound-a-like group (no this wasn't shot in 1985 but in 2016!!!) as if things couldn't be worse...

Now to be positive about something... I was glad when the publicity on Tubi shown up every now and then.

1/10... anybody surprised?

As a sequel, the film has all proper elements. From the dialogue you get the vibe of which actors would fall under the blade of our killer clown. I was pointing out in my own review how the kids could have pooled money to get a couple of hotel rooms on the way to the concert.

Is this movie the same as the original three? No. It doesn't have to be Brad Sykes' work over and over.

Schuylar Craig was the star that shined, her reactions felt very genuine and she could carry herself well.

Dustin Ferguson is not a bad director, he just lacked funds for greater effects but I felt the DIY approach worked pretty easily and his camera equipment and crew has vastly improved over the years.

I think there's about 20 minutes of actual film in this Camp Blood entry. As well as mining a lot of footage from the previous entry, this flick has more walking montages than Lord of the Rings.

At first I was wondering why there was so much filler at the beginning (our heroine goes cd shopping for 5+ minutes) but that sort of editing happens over and over.

I couldn't stop laughing at the bold choice to shoot at night in the woods with only the camera mounted light. They could have saved a lot of shooting time if they filmed the final 20 minutes in a blacked out room instead of on location.

The inept filmmaking is a joy to watch. And at 69 minutes, it is a nice way to spend 1/4 of an evening of movies.

After hearing of a family tragedy, a woman asks her friends to accompany her on a trip into the woods to relax before their meeting but soon finds themselves being stalked and killed by a maniacal clown-masked killer haunting the woods and must find a way to get out of the area alive.

This was a rather interesting and enjoyable entry into the franchise. Among the film's better elements is the rather fun amount of slasher scenes taking advantage of the atmosphere present. Being out in the woods and unaware of the clowns' presence other than rumors and stories allows for a nice enough time to unleash the killer clowns' antics in traditional indie-style short, shocking ambush scenes. With the opening chase through the woods ending in a wholly unexpected encounter with a clown in the woods or a double murder in a nearby tent, there are some enjoyable elements found here. This is all enhanced in the second half where the clown and the other killer get involved in a nice massacre that works quite well. As the flashback showing the original clown getting killed off and the new killer dispatching scores of victims around the woods and surrounding areas in a massive montage of stabbings, slicings, impalements, and decapitations, this is a fun rapid-fire sequence. That goes hand-in-hand with the big rampage in the woods as the clown takes them out one-by-one that has some tension with the inability to tell what's going on and mistaking the kills for pranks bringing more victims into the fray. It does have some rather big issues though. The main drawback to this one is the obvious limitations brought about by the low budget here. The overall presentation, gore effects, and atmosphere do scream low-budget guerilla-shot indie features from the get-go, which it rarely deviates from this feeling. The endless shows of the clown walking through the woods patrolling or the full-scale montage of the girls getting ready for the trip by going to the record store and then coming home to do their clothes and make-up simply screams low-budget filler. In a film this short, this type of padding at the expense of more traditional scenes sticks out quite readily. The other fact that holds this one back is the curious decision to stage the big massacre at night without anything but natural light for the sequence. This whole setup and approach, yet another factor in play due to the low-budget limitations, seems quite disadvantageous since that makes for a rough time figuring out what's going on. On top of that, the idea to feature the final chase through the woods between the final girl and the killer as a soundless montage set to blaring metal music robs this of the power and suspense it could've had as a tense, pounding chase in the woods, which combined with the lackluster speech for motivation is all rather week. These all bring the film down somewhat.
