In part 3, the goodlooking boys and girls come out to play!
Eighties horror movies, what would we do without them? Horror movies since the eighties have lost the gore and no budget effects that made them enjoyable to watch. Prom Night 3 achieves everything you could possibly want in a horror movie, goodlooking guys and girls, and did I mention the goodlooking guys?!:) Dylan Neal stars in this movie, and if he's hot now, he was certainly smoldering then!

The movie does have a certain budget look to it, but the story is straightforward and enjoyable, not to mention some of the best death scenes ever! I would really recommend this movie, and I would suggest inviting a few mates over, so you can have a laugh with the death scenes. Positively gory, but very well done. Enjoy!

Great movie, stupid ending!
If it weren't for the ending, I would have rated it 5 stars, but as many times before, the ending destroys a movie. But to the film. This is horror/comedy, so don't expect to be scared. But it has gore, and the one scene where Alex is running naked in the hall, reminds me strongly about Mr.Bean(! ) This time another Prom Queen return from the dead, and fall in love with one of the present students. But how far are they willing to go for love? Buy it, and find out.

this has got to be the stupidest movie ever made!
what?What? How could anyone give this movie five stars. It was the worst movie ever made. How could they take the prom night franchise and turn it into some lame horror movie. It's ridiculous. The plot was dumb and pointless and the one-liners absolutely not funny. The movie was a disgusting mix of sex and violence, that tried to hard to be funny and failed. this is definitely the most pointless movie and the worstsequel ever. DUMB! just plain dumb! The ending completely ruined even the few(1 or two) good parts in the movie.

Mary Lou Maloney, ruthless killer, comedy queen???
In this blood-soaked title, Mary Lou escapes from hell and returns to the high school for more carnage. Enter the afore mentioned "teen hunk". Mary Lou attempts to kill him but falls in love with him first. Following a night of passion with the ghost and finding himself in a "compromising" situation (lacking his clothes), Alex is caught in a web of murder, thanks to his new squeeze the ghost of Mary Lou. The actress that portrays Mary Lou is very talented but she dosent capture the flavor of the character. This movie starts a downhill slide for the series turning it into a 2hr. hack-n-slash fest. Take my advice and consider prom night 2 first, that is if you havent seen it. this movie is best described as a comedy with it's guts ripped out and exposed. ... Read more

I APPLAUD THIS FILM!
I APPLAUD THIS FILM!

I applaud this film because it dares to be different. I'm tired of the high-concept low IQ drivel that Hollywood churns out. Who wants to go to a movie where you know the whole story and how its going to end after the first five minutes! The Dragon Gate with all its imperfections is still an engrossing cinematic ko'an. With each scene you're never sure what's going to happen next. Each obstacle that the hero encounters is symbolic of our modern life. In this sense the film resonates Joseph Campbell's mono-myth.

For those of you who found The Empire Strikes Back to have more meaning than Star Wars, The Return Of The Jedi, or The Phantom Menace, you will find much to enjoy about The Dragon Gate.

The photography is gorgeous. In fact the images are very imaginative, the film has a strong after-life, you just keep thinking about it!

If you're looking for a film that challenges you, I would recommend The Dragon Gate.

One of the best horrible horror films ever made
This movie is so much fun to watch with its poor cuts, mediocore acting, and music that sounds like it was taken from Resident Evil. This is definitley very entertaining and very enjoyable. If you want a horror movie to laugh at, "Camp Blood" is one of your best bets.

Camp Blood Review #1
Wow! What can I say about this movie? I fell in love with it after just 1 viewing. I saw it in a video store shortly after The Blair Witch Project hit the theaters and rented it. It is independently-made so the camera work isn't spectacular, but the special effects make up for that! The characters and dialogue are believable, and the action is intense and scary. A must-see for all horror movie fans!! Needless to say, I own this and the sequel.

Oh the humanity!
I rarely have problems watching a shot on video production. I figure budding new filmmakers have to start somewhere in the quest for a Hollywood career. If that means picking up Mom and Dad's camcorder and shooting a film with your buddies, so be it. It's not like you can walk into a Tinseltown studio with a script tucked under your arm and get a job making a summer blockbuster by the end of the week. Making films is a lot like writing; it takes a great amount of time and effort to create something other people will want to experience. I have seen plenty of movies where the director had almost nothing to work with yet created a truly engaging picture. Look at David Cronenberg's "Shivers," for example. He had so little money that he couldn't film anywhere other than in an apartment building, yet the movie works nicely because the idea is original. Unfortunately, "Camp Blood" is an example of the other extreme, a prime example of sloppy filmmaking, bad acting, and a horrible and highly derivative script. "Camp Blood" looks bad, feels bad, and is bad. I find it incredible that you can rent this atrocity at the video store.

A group of young people (sigh) decides to camp out in the woods near an abandoned summer camp that the locals in the area have since rechristened Camp Blood. We know the place is dangerous because a couple looking for rare flora and fauna die horribly at the hands of killer clown (!) before the kiddies get there, and the locals tell our hapless heroes not to go there. Well, one local tells them, a guy dutifully fulfilling the cliché ridden Crazy Ralph role seen in the early "Friday the 13th" films. As the campers arrive on the scene-two guys and two girls-they meet up with their "guide," a tough looking chick with a sinister attitude who seems to know more about Camp Blood than she is willing to let on. The gang tramps out into the woods, sets up a few tents, and promptly falls prey to a guy shuffling around in the woods wearing a cheesy clown mask. Everyone expires except one of the girls, a portly young lady whose screams of terror must rank as the funniest expressions of terror ever recorded on celluloid...oops, I mean videotape. The "twist" ending is so incredibly thickheaded that I felt not only robbed of the few cents I spent renting this clunker, but actually considered shelling out a few more bucks to hire a private detective to track down everyone associated with the film so I could personally tell them what I thought about the movie.

I didn't bother watching "Camp Blood" in its 3-D format since I don't have the necessary eyewear. Doing so wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway. The movie reeks, period. Everything you could imagine going wrong with a movie happens here. The acting, for example, is downright awful. One of the guys on the trip is such a mouthy jerk that watching his performance is the equivalent of dragging daggers over a chalkboard. He's always yelling at the top of his lungs, swearing at somebody, or threatening to harm his friends. Never mind the fact that he's a skinny little runt who would drop like a stone at the first punch. The second place award in the "most irritating" category is the heroine of the film, a whiny gal who constantly berates her friends about the trip. She also takes center stage in the lamest scene in the film, the all-important chase at the end between her and the killer. I've seen people with walkers move faster than these two. And she wails away like a siren the whole time. Even worse, the actors reappear at the end playing entirely different roles without any explanation.

As for the special effects, cinematography, and pacing-forget about it. A bit of blood shows up from time to time, but not enough or done well enough to get fired up about. The cinematography, strictly home movie camcorder all the way, looks like a three year old planned it. The pacing slows down to a snail's pace within seconds of the opening credits. I think the movie only ended up running for roughly seventy plus minutes, but it felt like I could have read "War and Peace," "Moby Dick," and "The Count of Monte Christo" in the time it took to watch the picture. I have already said it, but it bears repeating-nothing about "Camp Blood" works. The only mystery in this movie has little to do with the killer's identity but everything to do with how I could sit still long enough to watch this car wreck from start to finish. I am not strongly urging you to avoid this film; I am ordering you not to watch it. Just keep moving right along when you see the case on the shelf at the video store.

The DVD contains a few extras, mostly trailers for a couple of other schlock shot on video films like "Hunting Season" and a zombie picture. I got the impression from the trailers that the same people behind "Camp Blood" had a lot to do with these two films. If so, I know I won't watch them anytime soon. Why? Life lasts only so long, and there are other things I could do with my time. Like cleaning my navel, organizing my sock drawer, and polishing the plastic tips on my shoelaces. I guess we should give it up for "Camp Blood" in the end, though. By making such an atrocious film, every other film now has a standard against which they can judge their own innate badness (or goodness). Give this one a wide, wide berth.

Terrible
This movie had little gore with a terrible plot. I would cut my eyes out before watching this Home Video again. Please save your money and buy a real horror movie

Best Movie Ever
This movie gives meaning to my otherwise meaningless life. The actors are worthy of emmys and the director is my new hero. Everyone will watch this movie or answer to me. Then they will go and rent camp blood 2. They are both the best movies I have ever seen. Anyone who doesn't like this movie shouldn't be allowed to live in this fine country. ... Read more
