Marcus inszeniert eine TV-Show namens „Scare Campaign“, in der ahnungslose Opfer durch blutige Streiche fast zu Tode erschreckt werden. Die Einschaltquoten der Show sinken jedoch und so erhält er eine letzte Chance zu beweisen, dass „Scare Campaign“ noch immer unterhalten kann. Dabei geht das Team in seinem Eifer aber einen Schritt zu weit und sucht sich das falsche Opfer aus... Aus dem Spaß wird nun blutiger Ernst und es gibt scheinbar kein Entkommen für Marcus und seine Crew. (I-on New Media)

A low-key and unusual slasher from Australia that's worth a watch. Scare Campaign is a popular Prank TV show that scares its victims, but one day they will pay the price. The film has some pretty fresh twists throughout, impresses with solid gore and thanks to the sweet 80 minute running time, it goes by pretty quickly, though at first I found the film boring. Story 5/10, Atmosphere 5/10, Gore 7/10, Visuals 6/10, Action 7/10, Suspense 6/10, Humor 3/10. Entertainment 6/10, Scares 0/10. 65%.

A decent bloody slasher gore, average, that benefits mostly from an original idea and good gore. A TV show that pranks and scares people becomes a victim itself after a psychopathic killer accidentally walks in on the show, and a real-life struggle begins. There are a few nice twists and turns, and the idea and the gore pull the film into a better average, but otherwise it's still at its core a bland slasher flick that doesn't boast much in the way of significantly better qualities.

The film Scare Campaign has a escalating storyline, where gradually you really start to lose track of who's killing and if anyone's killing at all. The main reason is that the special effects here are very good. However, when the killing is real, you can pretty much tell because the special effects are taken to an even higher level of gore. The film delivers what it promises and may even surprise you with. It's not as clever as the authors would like, but it's certainly not stupid.
