Cannibal Campout is a low budget shot-on-video horror film released direct-to-video in 1988. It was directed by Jon McBride and Tom Fisher, and written by John Rayl.
While out for a jog in the community of Redston, a woman named Nancy is hacked to death with an axe by a figure wearing a fighter pilot helmet. Later, two couples consisting of Jon and Carrie, and Amy and Rich, head to Redston to camp out for the weekend, but en route they encounter a pair of hillbillies named Rich and Gene, who try to assault them.
After the encounter with the backwoods duo (revealed to be the brothers of the fighter helmet-wearing man, Joe) the quartet set up near some abandoned cabins, while the hillbillies murder two would-be pranksters named John and Ray. After wandering off alone to get her cigarettes, Carrie is killed by Rich and Joe, and her friends are captured while looking for her. Jon is knocked out in a fight with Joe, and disemboweled and eaten by the brothers, who force feed the other captives some of his innards. When Rich and Joe leave with Jon's body, Gene butchers Chris, and tries to rape Amy, but is stabbed with his own knife, and left for dead.
Traversing the wilderness, Amy encounters Joe, and during the ensuing scuffle pulls off his helmet, revealing his horribly disfigured face. After Joe runs off, Rich and the recovered Gene recapture Amy, and cut out and eat her unborn child. An unknown amount of time later, the brothers are shown partaking in an unsuccessful hunt, and when Gene suggests they merely get fast food, Rich scolds him, reminding him that they promised their mother they would never eat those chemical-soaked foods. When Gene continues to complain, Rich and Joe become annoyed, and seemingly decide to eat him.
