STANLEY ROPER IS MY LATE NIGHT BOOTY CALL
24 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is a "so bad it is good film" by design. It is made to look like a 1980's throwback with all the bells and whistles.

A group of kids go camping in the woods and there is a slasher. Details of the slasher are reviewed during the opening credits and the cliche camp fire tale. Mike (Charles Sullivan) leads the group along with his exchange student friend Ian (Brandon Raker) the token Brit. Mike brings along his girlfriend Deb (Ruby Larocca). Their relationship is on the outs as he also brings along his latest girlfriend Courtney (Sierra Ferrell) who wears a cheerleaders outfit to go camping because it is a spoof of the 80's genre. Also in the group is Richie (Chris Woodall) Deb's nerdy brother who brings along his robot who is far too human and reveals far too much about Richie. There is also Rachel (Erin Russ) a girl Richie is crazy about.

The film include things we remember from 80's films. It has product placement, the weird country store scene, and local band soundtrack. The film had a bad sound system as there appears to be a background noise of a generator for all the night time shots. The robot had a Cadillac emblem glued to its chest which was missing in a few scenes, but the glue marks were still there. They go to Camp "Wood" so they can party and have sex.

The film had funny and clever dialogue representing the 80's era. I spent much of the film laughing, especially during the country store scene where writer/director Eamon Hardiman plays a country geek in a "Choose Life" T-shirt. Extras: Director's commentary/ Behind the scenes/ Ian speaks.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Kelly Claire, Erin Russ, Mick Wiseman butt with a C-sock.) Blood, killing, mutilation, forced sex with a chainsaw.
