I finally got a chance to look at The Campout from Forbidden Video, which came out several months ago but was sent to me for review only last week. This may be akin to the movie studios withholding their turkeys from reviewers until after the movie opens on the weekend, so that it has a chance to slip out to the public without advance negative publicity. I think one can guess the direction this review is going.
The Campout is described on Forbidden's site as a campy horror. I guess that means it doesn't take itself seriously, and that's one of its problems. The thin story is that a mob boss bullies his henchman into taking the boss' daughter out into the woods for a campout on her 18th birthday. Also accompanying them is the boss' attractive mistress. Once they are out in the woods alone, the mistress takes charge. Aware that he fears his boss and that she has all the power, she belittles and bullies the burly henchman in front of the daughter until he walks away in shame. This gives the mistress an excuse to be alone with the daughter, and the two of them engage in some lesbian lovin' (Zzzzzzz...) while the henchman spies on them from a distance.
As an accommodation to bondage fans, there's a scene where the daughter is tied to a tree (poorly, with just a few strands of rope around the body and none around the wrists or ankles) and gagged with a useless thin piece of cloth. It's a totally consensual scene, and the mistress teases her with some vibrator action down below.
At this point, the burly henchman suddenly appears and throws the mistress down and threatens the daughter with a machete. While she watches, he forces the mistress to suck his cock. There's some decent threatening dialogue and a bit of protesting from the woman, but overall the resulting rape would have worked better had she been restrained in some way, which she never is. At least the sex action is hardcore, culminating with a cum shot in her mouth.
Now the henchman turns his attention to the bound daughter. But guess what! It turns out the previous rape was all just a little play the two of them were acting out for her birthday. Ha ha, it was all in fun. Ha ha, the end. What a rip.
This tape is very short, only about 24 minutes, and it makes one wonder how something that brief got released on its own, and not as maybe the first half of a 2- part feature. But then I'm thankful this doesn't go on too long, because it stumbles every step it takes.
