Campfire Tales
Four obnoxious teens, only one of whom was actually a teen during filming, sit around telling CAMPFIRE TALES (1997, not to be confused with the 1991 film of the same name, Prime, Tubi, Plex) inspired by urban legends (but not URBAN LEGENDS). They’ve just been in a car wreck and are waiting for help or maybe a better script. It took three directors — Martin Kunert, who also co-wrote, David Semel and Matt Cooper — to generate this much boredom.
This was meant as a calling card for the three beginning directors. That worked rather well for one of them (Semel, who’s done a lot of TV work since then) but not so well for the audience tuning in. The film can’t even keep its basic premise straight. It opens with a re-telling of “The Hook,” (Kunert) with a very young James Marsden and Amy Smart, that isn’t told by anybody. It’s shot in black and white but doesn’t even attempt to use that to up the horror level. After that the pseudo-teens start telling their stories: “The Honeymoon” (Cooper) with a young Ron Livingstone, “People Can Lick Too” (Kunert) and “The Locket” (Semel) with a young Glenn Quinn. There’s also a twist ending that shouldn’t surprise anybody with half a brain, though my decision to watch this makes me wonder if I have even that much.
To be nice: “The Honeymoon” and “People Can Lick Too” have some creepy bits, and Livingston is fun as a horny honeymooner, but it takes forever to figure out which urban legend it is. Damn, I was trying to be nice. I’m also not sure what urban legend inspired “The Locket,” but that could be me. There are also a few moments of nicely washed-out color at the start of “People Can Lick Too.” And that’s it, kids. Be glad I took the bullet for you on this one.
