The first thing you notice about Camp Blood 666 is that it starts off with brand new footage. Surprisingly enough, it’s a decent enough scene in which a Satanic cult holds a black mass to resurrect the Camp Blood killer. Upon hearing her brother has joined the devil cult, the concerned Betsy (Shoshanna Green) heads off into the woods to find him.
Another thing of note about 666 is that it has actual stars this time out. And by “actual stars” I mean George Stover and Tina Krause (although unfortunately her scene was cut out of the Tubi version). That’s certainly an upgrade from the casts of the last two entries if you ask me.
The scenes of our heroine playing Nancy Drew and trying to find her brother aren’t exactly involving, but at least they are scenes from THIS movie and not scenes from another entry in the series. Sure, there’s still some padding here (like the weird scene where a character watches a vintage public access kids show where a little kid gets his face painted), and there’s still plenty of overlong shots of people walking aimlessly. Yet, despite this, Camp Blood 666 remains watchable, even if it never really comes close to being… you know… good.
Sadly, most of the kills just involve the Camp Blood killer stabbing people in various body parts with his trusty machete. However, we do get a scene where he cuts a guy’s foot off and shoves it down his throat. I can’t say I’ve seen that in a movie before, so… respect.
The acting is a bit stilted, but amusingly so. Alyson Rodriguez Orenstein is particularly fun as a talkative goth chick. The sound is bad in some places though, and the music drowns out the dialogue in other scenes. While I can’t even come close to recommending this one, it feels like Citizen Kane compared to the last two entries.
