This is one of those movies that you're either going to love or hate. Me? I actually hated it the first time I saw it.

Decampitated is about seven friends who don't seem to like, or even know each other very well, who decide to go camping together. Although they seem to know nothing about the activity. The leader of our group, Garrett. A hyper, enthusiastic twig of a man who is determinded to treat his pals to a weekend in the woods. Despite not being very bright, he seems to really know how to take charge. For whatever reason, Garrett's lazy, bitchy friends reluctantly decide to join him in his quest to rough it. The happy campers decide to camp as planned, but we soon discover, there's a killer in the woods, but luckily, there's seven of them, which should be more than enough to fight off the killer. Especially if they all stick together. Of course, when times get tough, they all scatter out like dumb fucks, and make one stupid decision after the other.
