Decampitated

I would consider myself a pretty big horror movie buff. I love black comedy horror, gore films, teen slashers and whatever else you wish to throw at me. One day, my Troma loving brother-in-law got this new film in the mail - Decampitated. It looked like it may be scary, so I agreed to watch it with him. I was wrong. It was not scary, but at the same time, I found myself walking away from the film with a big smile on my face. I liked it, I actually liked it! Campy as hell, but the film was good. The clever uses of Duck Tape, the weed wacker and prancing killer, was a clever film that almost made you turn the machine off - it was so silly. A couple days later, I found myself asking my Bro if I can watch it again. I think I have seen it 10 times now (which is pretty good, let me tell you) and I will place it in the oh so hard to get into club of "Good Troma Movies" (Standing along the sides of Tromeo and Juliet and Terror Firmer) Good job guys!

This movie is great. For the kind of horror comedy spoof it is. It is a common subject for a horror spoof, camping the woods and stuff. But it turns out to be extremely unique and completely hilarious. Three words, I am impressed. I was lucky enough to be a part of it. A long hair stoner. It was a wonderful and great experience and fun to be apart of this film. Everybody in it did a great job. Watch it with a friend a beer amongst other goodies on a Saturday night and you will not be disappointed....

in the woods behind your city, so don't use the wrong measures. It is cheap, there is no suspense or horror, but it is more fun than any "expensive" A-, B- or C-picture. Cunningham and Friends show you all these dump mistakes of the bigger movies, but they know it. And they don't take their film serious - that's the difference, which makes their film much better than all of these highbrow, expensive, well-lit but only boring soap-bubbles. DECAMPITATED makes fun of itself. And the blood looks good, and the rhythm is fast.

Actor Thomas Martwick is by far the highlight of this particular piece, although the other performances are surprisingly good for this genre. Everyone in it is young and good-looking (again, Martwick is the standout) and the gore is campy and creative. You're not in any danger of actually being scared, but you can count on some genuine entertainment spiced with a generous helping of youthful (and charmingly inexperienced) enthusiasm.

Decampitated! This movie totally just snuck right up into my favorite Troma list without a doubt. I thought it was that good. A great comedy/horror spoof directed by Matt Cunningham. This was excellent! The opening scene was great and I enjoyed the good laugh. The use of duct tape in this film was hilarious. I almost want to know how much duct tape was used in this film just for chips 'n giggles. This film had that good ole Troma style to it but in a different way then usual Troma films do. I think it was actually better done then most Troma films in my collection. The acting was great which is a plus for Troma..even though this was a total spoof movie. Some of the way the camera angles were used were really cool. It added that extra humor to it. Definitely pick this movie up if you come across it. I know its a rare one out there on the Troma market but if you see it, pick it up. I look forward to seeing more film by Mr. Cunningham.

The opening scene in Decampitated, features a young lady, running from our lovable madman, as she VERY slowly meets a gruesome, yet hilarious end, she sure had some bad luck. Few people really die in Decampitated, characters' loose limbs, and spill enough blood worthy of a Mel Gibson epic, yet do not die.If you enjoyed classic Troma films like Terror Firmer, Tromeo And Juliet, Tales From The Crapper, etc. You'll enjoy this. However if this is your first Troma experience, I guarantee nothing, Troma is an acquired taste. I love it personally, but you have to enjoy gross out humor, mixed with comedic gore, and wacky characters'. Weapons utilized in this movie include a weed whacker, and even a fishing pole. On a side note, Bethany Lavoo, looks like Charisma Carpenter's twin sister, the resemblance is uncanny. My only complaint, is that the movie runs a little to long, with extended scenes of nothing, that could have been edited down to make a more compact film.

These last months I got to see a couple of Troma films, apart from Toxie 1, which I had seen in 2002. Some of the definite classics (Troma wars, Class of nuke'em high) and some of the so-called 'worst' (Nymphoid barbarian from dinosaur hell, Surf Nazis must die) are some of them. I don't consider myself a Troma completist or expert yet, but I love them already. OK, we see Troma had minor or no involvement in this one. I am nevertheless thankful to them for financing that. Me being both a serious-film fan but also b-movie/splatter/weird/extreme enthousiast, Troma stuff has to be one of the most original and ahead of it's time entertainment flicks, often not without some political incorrect meanings & provocations. This small independent film is everything a low-budget-in-the-woods-slasher-spoof/evil-dead-clone would ever want to be! Words fail to describe the genuine feeling of pure fun this film can offer to the open minded! I dare to say that this is a step (or two) above the usual Troma comedy standard, for it's amazing pace, sense of humour and its fair acting. Splatter scenes are mediocre but imaginative and funny - and there're a lot of them! I am so glad to see a post from the leading actor. Sure you don't expect "rock-star" attitude from people working on such a film, but it's always nice to see the "artist" break the barriers of the medium and the film industry ethics by coming closer to the audience. Respect

Usually I never post a review for a Troma film, because they are usually so bad that they do not even merit a review, however this is the absolute worst Troma film I have ever seen! It tries to be really bad on purpose, but instead comes off forced and never generates no it's so bad, it's good laughs. This time around a group of kids camping out run afoul of a murderer and a male cross dresser who has a crush on one of them. Unrated; Strong (though mostly cartoonish) Violence.

I admit, I'm not even remotely a Troma fan! I think they're dumb ugly films and have never seen the appeal. For that reason I wasn't exactly the demographic for this going in. Here we see Troma do a spoof of your traditional slasher flick. We have a group of 20 somethings go camping in the forest, a mixed bag of your traditional stereotypes and they fall foul of serial killer. To the films credit the killer is fairly interesting, a jovial fellow who skips along and uses all manner of weapons to dispose of his prey. Further to the films credit there are some laughs to be had, I personally for example laughed out loud at the opening sequence. Sadly that really is all I can say in favour of the film. Alike every other Troma movie it looks ugly, it sounds dreadful and for every good joke there are a dozen more that simply aren't funny. Troma just isn't my thing, never has been and likely never will. It's dumb fun, without the fun. The Good: Has a few laughs The Bad: Looks like crap Sounds like an early VHS Mostly unfunny nonsense Things I Learnt From This Movie: When caught in a bear trap use your machete on your leg instead of the trap. Duh! Vibrators make great drink stirrers Limbs are like lego bricks, they just clip back on

I do love low budget movies, but this one is just awful. And not in the `good' awful sense that is usually accustomed to low budget movies. This is just pure and simply awful. The story, a bunch of not too bright kids get the great idea of going camping. Turns out they chose to camp in the hunting ground of the all dancing, all killing psycho fisherman, who runs around in the forest killing everything in sight. Humans preferred. I guess you can figure out the rest. These kids get lost and need to escape the evil clutches of the fisherman. Usually I enjoy the humor of Troma, but this one is just awful. Not many laughs at all. And no uncalled for nudity either. No great ideas for the plot, no mindgrabbing gorie effects (there is a high amount of blood though), no good jokes.no nothing really. It's pretty much just a waste of time, and for Troma a waste of money. Of course, no true Troma fan should miss it. But others should try to avoid it.
