"If I can paraphrase from Forrest Gump, Lions Gate Films are like a box of chocolates. You really never know what you are going to get. Sometimes it might be a rich chewy caramel, and other times it might be one of those nasty fruits. Thankfully I was pleasantly surprised by Motor Home Massacre which is a campy throwback to the slasher films of the 1980's. And isn't it scary that were now looking at slasher films of the 1980's with a nostalgic eye? It's a low budget film but the filmmakers at least seem to know this and don't take themselves too seriously. The plot is standard fare: A group of good looking friends packs up an RV and heads out to the woods for a good time, only to encounter a goggle-wearing ( I kid you not) psycho bent on busting up the party.
Yes the acting is quite Amateurish, especially on the part of the women. It's pretty clear most of them are along for the ride because they are very hot and show some skin and have fantastic bodies. Certainly Motor Home Massacre gets an "A" when it comes to having a hot female cast. Shan Holleman as the female lead Sabrina is quite attractive and does an OK job, as does Tanya Fraser as Nicole. The rest of the females are pretty much just eye-candy. It's a fairly action-packed slasher with decent special effects and decent gore along with some pretty inventive kills. I'd say the cast and crew had a pretty good time making the film. Technically it's OK. The music is pretty uneven and there are spots when it's a bit too dark but all in all, you can do much worse for a recent slasher film than Motor Home Massacre. "
This movie is hilarious

"When i saw the cover it looked pretty scary when i started it i had to skip half of the scenes because they were so boring. the acting was so bad i almost fell asleep. there is even a guy like eminem its so horrible. When you see the killer finaly it gets funny. the funny parts are the only good part of the movie. Dont get this unless you like low budget movies and being bored out of your mind!
Some of the funny things are in the begining a girl is killed in a tent. It looks like they stuck a cow in there and stabbed it with a plastic machette. The girl talks to an imaginary boyfriend and i cant go on because im reliving this horrible movie. A visit to the doctor is even better. "
Truly, one of the worst of all time

"$23.99 for this film..on sale? HA! I wouldn't give .02 cents for it. Motor Home Massacre has to be one of the worst films of all time; Lazy effort, uninteresting, unbelievable and horrible acting. I don't think I have ever wanted the actors in a movie to die so fast and so painfully in a film as much as this one. How could any self respecting director or producer put out this garbage??? UN BE LEAVE ABLE. From start to finish, it's plain and simply GARBAGE. Don't waste your money or time.

Horrible disaster of a movie

"Seriously people do NOT buy this movie. This movie is so horrible, I can't even put it into words. The acting is not even mediocre. I don't even know if to call it acting. It shouldn't be called acting it would be an insult to the real actors out there.
When you read the negative reviews, please read all of them. They are absolutely telling you the truth. I'm sure you've never heard of this movie and some of the people here probably rented or bought the movie like I did based on the cover. That's all it is a scary cover, nothing more. The movie wasn't scary at all. If I could give this movie 0 stars I would."
Thank goodness it was a free rental!

"In all honesty, I didn't expect too much; although I have been pleasantly surprised by some other straight to DVD horror films. I wasn't sure if it was their intention to be as cheesy and cliched as they were, but the "acting" on the Simple Life totally outdoes the acting here. There was little consistency; in one scene "the nerd" is wearing a button down dress shirt, and then when he climbs aboard the RV, he has on a sweater vest. The tagline on the back is even wrong! They didn't make a wrong turn ("wrong turn" was a much better movie than this) they knew where they were going. Bad...simply all bad."
