Some psycho in a Shaman mask is bumping off young adults who stop off to stay at an old camping grounds to hang out and have some fun. Free-spirited, goofy, sexually liberated, loud, with constantly misfiring jokes and pranks played on each other, the victims of the killer are your typical bunch of rowdy kids right out of high school, on the road in a RV, who so happen to park this vehicle in the wrong place. Slayings of two teenagers (with two others considered victims of bear attacks) closed the campgrounds, owned by a bickering couple who can't stand to be around each other (David Hess and Mimsy Farmer). This married couple's son is picked up by the RV gang (some of the girls want to shag him) which led to their taking him to the campgrounds, spending the night, and becoming objects to stab. Introduced into the mix is Sheriff Charlie (Charles Napier) who loves (and has been an affair for decades with) Mimsy; their affair might be a link to the murders. If notorious director Deodato wasn't the director, and the likes of Hess and Napier weren't in the cast, I imagine Body Count would be just another forgettable slasher that clogged itself on the VHS shelves in the horror section of movie rental stores alongside Slaughterhouse and The Newlydeads. It's all standard stuff, the chase scenes through the woods into the old rickety designated shower building, the basic large knife to the back/ax to the head/spear out the mouth violence associated with films out of the Friday the 13th mold. Claudio Simmonetti of Goblin gives the movie a boost of energy with his score, but, sadly, the recognizable faces of the cast, especially Hess, do very little to give the film the much needed value so it can be evaluated by slasher enthusiasts in a positive light. Deodato seems uninspired here, just cashing in on the slasher craze prevalent at the time, nothing in particular stands out, calling attention to his film; even Cut and Run has an energy in the filmmaking that gets you involved visually (although, the cast in that film, for the most part, deliver as well, unlike Body Count). Slasher purists are a dedicated, determined bunch, so I imagine many have already checked this out, but, as one enthusiastic about finally retrieving a copy, it doesn't have anything that warranted such anticipation to see it.

Body Count aka Camping Del Terrore is another one of those 80's Friday The 13th rip offs where a group of fun loving kids explore the Colorado wilderness during the summer vacation But at a campsite managed by the mysterious Robert and his wife, Julia, they hear the old legend of the Shaman- half-man, half-beast and before you know it the teens gets picked off one by one in a fairly routine matter.Body Count is not the greatest camping slasher but it's still very entertaining the beginning is quite effective where you get the two teens at the beginning getting killed, plus the killer manages to copy the female victim's hairstyle with a wig, totally unrealistic but makes up for that by dispatching them in a brutal manner knife in the head, despite that fact there's a policeman near by whose surprisingly still got his job after while he was screwing the campsite owners wife two teens got murdered I mean did he even get reprimanded or suspended from the police force. Then it cuts to the present day where we get a bunch of teens who look about late 20's early 30's heading towards the same campsite where those murders took place many years ago.However there are quite a few unbelievable and stupid parts that spoil this movie, like the flashback scene where it shows 2 teens arriving in the same area where the killer's been lurking all those years ago getting killed themselves, that part I liked it's just that the part when the male teen dies the girl doesn't do the normal thing by heading for the front door instead she goes upstairs and has a lie down then gets killed, well serves her right for being so stupid. Then we get the main heroine when she's being chased instead of running into the woods she runs into the tool shed a complete dead end. Other than that though the movie is pretty much OK we get a good body count and some gruesome kills which settles all the stupid stuff into place. In addition to some fairly bad dialogue, it also features the most annoying variation on the chubby practical-joker character that I've ever seen, and it takes entirely too long for the killer to end the audience's discomfort. Still, it's rarely boring, with a few good moments, and many of the murders are pretty graphic (if not as gory as I'd been led to believe; I mean, this was directed by the same guy that helmed CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (1979), for Pete's sake!) All in all Not terrible and not great either but still worth a look.

"Body Count" is a remarkably fun and enjoyable slasher.**SPOILERS**Years after a horrible tragedy, teens Tony, (Stefano Media) Sidney, (Andrew J. Lederer) Cissy, (Cynthia Thompson) Tracy, (Nancy Brilli) and Carol, (Luisa Maneri) decide to head for an abandoned campground where Sharon, (Elena Pompei) Scott, (Sven Kruegar) Dave Kelloway, (Bruce Penhall) have already arrived. Trying to have some fun together, they begin to hike through the woods and generally have a great time being together. When they start to disappear mysteriously, they initially take it as going off on their own accord. As more and more of the group wander off, they realize that something is wrong and blame a local legend about an ancient Indian Shaman that has cursed the land. Finally learning the truth about the killings around the camp, they band together to survive the night against the demented killer.The Good News: This was a surprisingly good slasher film. While not in any way original, this one manages to do several things right. One of the main ones is that it gets the slashing down quite expertly. The stalking scenes in here are just this side of brilliant and are very well-done. The stalking through the woods from the outhouse through the trees is a classic suspense angle, as the frantic search to get away from the killer, who is only glimpsed in such brief flashes that it's almost impossible to tell, and that leads to a great tension-filled scene that is quite fun. Anytime in the outhouse is quite brilliant, as the main double-murder is loads of fun. The absolutely chilling atmosphere through the entire scene, the pacing is completely tense, and the jump comes brilliantly to the end, all culminating in a great scene. There's also plenty of scenes spread throughout the film, all of them at the very least containing a few suspenseful ideas. The final confrontation with the killer is a really standout sequence as well, using the established rules for how they're supposed to play out well in hand and offering up only a nice surprise in the revelation of the killer. This is perhaps given all the better treatment when it's revealed who the killer is after they're dealt with rather than before everything happens, and it's such a nice change of pace. There's also a really high body count in here to provide plenty of deaths, including a knife through the neck, one through the back of the head to come out through the mouth, a meat hook through the face, some scratching with a razor, a spear through the stomach, an ax in the head and some body mutilation with an ax along with a lot more in here as well. This here gets in some pretty high totals with the kills, and they're all quite brutal. As is usual with these kinds of films, the usual attitude of sleaze in here is handled with the usual amount of comfort that most of these films usually have. The last real big positive is the film's incredible pacing, which is just about perfect. The murders start happening very early on, the majority of the time is spent on the stalking and slashing and subplots are at the minimum, leaving this to thankfully never become boring at all. Overall, it's a really enjoyable affair.The Bad News: There wasn't all that much wrong with this one. One of it's problems is that it's simply way too familiar for it's own good. There's a sense of this just playing by the rule-book simply without change for the duration, hitting all the notes along the way there. While this is nice, it doesn't really offer much for those looking at films for a different feel that others. This one isn't all that different from practically any others out there, and can get lost in the shuffle if not in the particular mood to enjoy it. There's also a problem where the deaths in here aren't as graphic as they could've been. With all the brutal sounding ones described above, this one should've been a bloodbath and a gore-hounds' dream yet this one doesn't really let loose as well as it should've. These, though, are the only real problems and can easily become non-factors.The Final Verdict: With only minor, minor flaws that can be overlooked quite easily, this is a really nice addition to the slasher genre. It's not a revelation in the genre that will alter it, but for those that enjoy these kinds or even die-hard European horror fans should give this one a healthy look.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Full Male and Female Nudity and Language

I rated this film highly because I knew what I was getting myself in for and I was drunk when I first watched it. I like a good old fashioned slasher that makes very little sense and is laughably bad.The Dialog sounds as if it was added at a later date and the situations that people put themselves in (while some of the friends are currently missing) are just plain stupid, but the film doesn't take itself too seriously and so I don't either.The fact that somebody is actually credited for 'continuity' is quite comical given the amount of mistakes in the movie.These may sound like bad points but they all add up to a funny (if unintentionally so) film.I recently bought this film and watched it sober. I was not disappointed
