A group of friends who have no camping experience whatsoever decides to go camping and end up in the haunted Decamp woods. Things don't go according to plan and they soon find themselves being chased by a killer. One after one they're dying horrible deaths and has to struggle to make it out of the woods alive.
I'm not a big Troma fan and I often find their sense of humour to be quite the opposite of my own but some movies by Troma actually has some funny stuff in it and can be worth watching. Decampitated is one of those movies.
It sure sounds like your average slasher movie and it is a slasher movie only that this one have some different stuff to offer. It starts off really good with the killer killing one person and chases after a girl and kills her too, everything done in a really humorous way and it's actually quite fun to watch.
Then we get to see the group of friends take off to go on their camping trip and from there on the humour varies from extremely bad to quite fun the movie throughout.
It's low-budget but the effects are not that bad and we get some gore and splatter, also done in a humorous kind of way.
One other quite funny thing is that every time the killer appears to do his evil deeds it's always accompanied by jazz music which sure lighten things up a bit and is quite fun too just because the fact that it's so different.
The actors are your typical Troma actors and I guess you know what to expect considering that. But it's ok for what it is and even if the humour is way too dumb some times, Decampitated still has some really funny moments.
Definitely one of the better Troma releases out there along with Tromeo & Juliet.
