Campfire Tales lacks the frills of its contemporaries, yet this anthology is rich in charm and enthusiasm, both of which continue to draw fans back time and time again.

Rated: 4/5

The segments in Campfire Tales tend to have a lot of buildup for very little payoff. They end just as they’re getting interesting.

I wasn't expecting much, so I was surprised that Campfire Tales was an interesting anthology feature. Unfortunately, its humble budget is obvious in its production.

I don't know the score for this is so low. I wasn't expecting much from this movie but I was pleasantly surprised. The stories I found to be fairly original and the acting was OK, not surprising since there are some well known actors. There are some plot holes which is why I didn't give 5 stars. But my favorite part of this movie is the ending. It was a really cool twist I did not see coming.

A bunch of thin ideas that couldn't make 1 film so they put them together.

I thought this movie had three great short stories with a lot of familiar actors you knew when they were much younger. It was great to see Glenn Quinn in my favorite story of the three. His motorcycle ended up breaking down in front of this girl's house he knocks on the door only to find out she can't talk and all these strange things start happening. I really liked this movie and if you like horror you will to. You'll be surprised who acts in this movie

Nice little anthology of horror tales all based on popular urban legends. So while nothing really new is brought to the table, each story is pretty well done, and the wrapping story is quite good, with some interesting twists.
