Reception
editBlacktooth of Horror Society gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5, writing that "Overall, Camp Massacre is a flawed slasher that is funny but could have been a lot funnier and bloodier. However, if you take it for what it is you will still have a good time. It is well worth your time."[3] Todd Martin of HorrorNews.net wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "Despite its weaknesses the movie is fun and has a lot of heart, and it definitely worth checking out if you are in the mood for something a little different."[4] Mark L. Miller of Ain't It Cool News wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "the quality gore, fun tone and premise, and the simple fact that it has fat guys falling down and trying to do action qualifies CAMP MASSACRE as entertaining to me."[5]
Jeremy Blitz of DVD Talk wrote a negative review of the film, writing that it is "too long by forty minutes, poorly thought out and haphazardly executed. Some of the performances are okay, and Al Snow is actually fun to watch. But a lot of the time it seems as if the actors are ad libbing, and not given the chance to work on it enough to get the timing or other performance beats down. The film is neither scary nor funny."[6]
