I opted to sit down to watch the 2019 horror comedy "Camp Wedding" despite of the fairly low rating that the movie had managed to land here on IMDb. I must admit that I liked the movie's cover, and the movie's synopsis sounded campy enough to actually make for an entertaining enough semi-slasher, I suppose. Turns out that writers Greg Emetaz and Cara Consilvio just didn't manage to collectively come up with an overly entertaining movie script, much less actually write something with much of any appeal. The storyline told in "Camp Wedding" was just bland and rather dull. Actually, I found it to be insanely boring and pointless, and there was nothing worthwhile to sit through here. I gave up on "Camp Wedding" not even half-way through the ordeal. Yeah, the movie was that boring and uneventful. The characters in the movie were one-dimensional cardboard cut-outs, so they didn't provide much of any entertainment, and the acting performances were staggering and faulty at best. Nothing impressive in terms of acting performances to be experienced here. I suppose it was because of the way too inferior script and storyline, plus the utter lack of interesting characters that were serving as inhibitors on the actors and actresses. "Camp Wedding" was frightfully devoid of both horror and comedy elements, so director Greg Emetaz was just not delivering where it mattered. And it was showing throughout the course of the movie. I am rating "Camp Wedding" a staggering one out of ten stars, as this was definitely one of the worst horror comedies I have had the misfortune of stumbling upon. Do not waste your time, money or effort on this one. Some of us did, to greater or smaller extend, so you don't have to.

Yep. This was a super cheesy flick. Was there even one drop of blood? I don't think there was. However, there was a lynched Cabbage Patch doll, a Teddy Ruxpin, a walkman, cassette tape, polaroid camera and a gluten-free knife. This was just a no. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because it did a good job at making the cell phone screens and conversations easy to see and read. That's a little thing that gets on my nerves but they did a decent job with it. Everything else was a big NO.

The movie was fun and the acting was decent but the characters were annoying. The ending wasn't satisfying and it felt rushed. The beginning of the movie showed so much promise but overall I was let down. There are some really funny parts but that's just about it.

But this wasn't funny. It was just dumb. And I'm not even a snob when it comes to humor. I liked Scary Movie. I liked Scary Movie 2! This movie was just too low and gross.

An indie horror story driven by a set up I've never seen before, with fun characters. Some of these reviews are over-the-top negative because there doesn't seem to be enough gore for them. So yeah, if that's your criteria for liking a movie, okay. But if you like well written characters in a compelling and distinctive story with suspense and horror elements used in a smart way, this one is for you.

Mia (Kelley Gates-Amy Schumer clone) is getting married to Dalvero (David Pegram). The wedding is booked at Camp Po-*-tuck that has an infamous history of burned witches, Native American Massacre, and a strict religious camp where a young girl was both struck by lightning and drowned. All plot points that work their way into the ending, but not that well. The wedding location was booked by AirBnB and paid for by "gofundme." There is a very diverse group of characters all of which have no life outside of their cell phone, part of the humor. While at the camp, they discover remnants of the religious camp, including a Polaroid "Wall of Sin" for bad kids. This was a movie that had potential. It was in part a generic spoof, something that might have worked better if it took aim at specific films such as making the Teddy Bear which looked like "Ted" talk like him. It is a film which I think I liked, but not sure how much, or if I am just embarrassed to say I liked it, even though it was a bit shallow and designed to be confusing. Guide: F-word. Brief sex. No nudity.

This was great!!! Sure it had flaws and was a bit messy, but just follow the story and it's so much fun! -poopooleroo, Bendydick Cummysnatch

Camp Wedding feels very current, with a lot to say about today's mobile/social media-obsessed culture. At the same time, it's a loving throwback to 80s slasher horror movies, with loads of creepy forest ambience, glinting sharp objects, and a Carpenter-esque, synth-laden soundtrack. The talented actors are clearly all having a blast with the witty dialogue, and their chemistry gives the movie an irresistible charm. Ultimately, for all its stalking, murderous mayhem, the scariest thing in this movie is its spot-on observation of how technology has encroached on our relationships.
