Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

jacobjohntaylor1 5.8 is overrating this crap. Sleep away camp III is a better movie and that is an awful movie. This movie is not scary. It just really gross. It is badly written. The ending is awful. Do not wast your time. And do not wast your money. Do not see this awful movie. I give 4 out of 10 because it is stinky pooh pooh. This a about some teenagers at camp who are into sexy and drugs. And there is a serial killer killing them off one by one. This could have been scary if the story line had not been so awful. This is an awful movie. Good actors wasted there talent being in this awful movie. This movie is pooh pooh. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh. Very stinky pooh pooh. Do not see it.

gavin6942 Angela Baker (Pamela Springsteen) has undergone years of therapy, electro-shock and sexual reassignment surgeries, and finally landed herself a job in the last place she should be working -- Camp Rolling Hills.How did this strange sequel come to be? It can be credited to one man. Producer Jerry Silva thought the first part was too dark, so he bought the rights to the franchise to give them more of a comedy angle. (Many see no connection between parts one and two due to Angela being recast, but those people are overlooking Silva.)While one wishes Felissa Rose had taken this role, Pamela Springsteen (Bruce's sister) does a fine job. And while she may now be a successful photographer, horror fans will always recall her role in the "Sleepaway Camp" sequel. She seems to have distanced herself from the film, unfortunately.The film is more campy humor (pun intended) rather than campy horror, especially with the Brat Pack references (not coincidentally connected to the fact Emilio Estevez's sister Renee is a main actress here). Some versions have more gore cut than others, and I believe Scream Factory has the most uncensored edition (while Anchor Bay had the most trimmed). Overall, the film is not even that bloody, though, and could probably have passed for PG-13 if Valerie Hartman was not taking her top off every five minutes.The film is especially campy when some lines are delivered awkwardly, almost like a soap opera. This means either the actors involved were bad, not enough takes were made, or most likely both. Director Michael Simpson acknowledges the total shooting time was about two weeks and they could not afford to hire "real" actors.Interestingly, while they were largely free of union rules, they had the Department of Labor looking over their shoulders to keep the child actors safe. Because it was delivered by a minor, one line strangely had to have the word "nips" changed to "party hats". Another actor needed a stunt double for a makeout scene, and a third could not be exposed to the violence of their character's death, so they could be involved with their death scene at all!The film stands out for its 80s metal soundtrack, something that was not uncommon for horror films. Some, like "Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors", may be better known for their Dokken songs than their actual plots. The songs are not as iconic here, but have that same 80s metal edge that will put you in the right mood. Bonus points for including the Dead Milkmen. If I recall correctly, this was a year before their big break.And keep your eyes peeled for Walter Gotell (playing Uncle John), the veteran actor from "The African Queen" and the James Bond franchise. How he sunk this low in his career is a mystery, but he adds just a hint of gravitas to the picture that no one else seems to be able to.As they always do, Scream Factory has pulled all the stops for this release. The films come out in a DVD-BD combo pack, and are loaded with extras. Writer Fritz Gordon and director Michael Simpson offer an insightful commentary. There is also a lengthy documentary with interviews from just about everyone. A featurette exploring the locations. And even a short film called "Whatever Happened to Molly?" Unfortunately, Pamela Springsteen declined to be involved, but they make the best of it.

WildestDreams I recommend avoiding Sleepaway Camp's initial sequels no matter how much you loved the original. Forget they were ever made because this and part three have no resemblance to the first one. They aren't even enjoyable movies in their own rights, they're just plain shallow. The basic premise is this: Angela saying sassy things whilst hacking off campers. I'm the biggest fan of sequels, but does anybody really want to see their slasher villain look into the camera to deliver a corny one-liner whenever they go to off somebody? Its the same formula that led horror icons such as Freddy Krueger and Chucky to become mere parodies of their themselves as their sequels went on. Thankfully, the series creator (who is also the writer/director of part one) had almost nothing to do with these trash sequels. Better still, he created his own direct sequel in 2008, Return to Sleepaway Camp, which is excellent. It ignores the two sequels from the late 80's altogether and you should do the same.

ctomvelu1 Not exactly a classic of the genre, SC 2 is a so-so followup to SC, in which a sexually confused character slaughters a bunch of people at a summer camp. If you haven't seen the original, this sequel may make no sense. Angela -- the demented he-she from the first movie -- is back, and just as murderous as she was in the first movie. Maybe more so. The body count seems higher, for one thing. Since we know Angela is a psycho from the outset, all suspense is removed. Taking its place are several pleasantly nasty deaths and the occasional laugh, as the movie is strictly tongue in cheek. The acting is appropriately cheesy, and the effects are from hunger. But as my brother-in-law used to say, who goes to the drive-in to watch the movie? And this is most definitely old-school drive-in fare.
